A bit off topic but an example of why gas is likely to increase in usage in the medium term.

'Mr Dutton has flagged the AP1000 reactor used at Vogtle could be one of the models used to power homes and businesses in Australia."We don't want to be the purchaser of the first in class or have an Australian-made technology, we want to rely on the Westinghouse AP1000," he said in June.'

'The giant AP1000 reactors designed by Westinghouse opened seven years late at more than twice the budgeted cost. The final bill of around $US35 billion ($50 billion) makes them among the most expensive nuclear generators ever built.'

IMO Australian reactors would be delivered at least 10 years later than the Dutton timelines.

So if Australia is unfortunate enough to suffer the Dutton nuclear 'plan' then the reliance on gas will increase.
