Fusion is being investigated all over the world by specialists in the nuclear field.
Especially in countries that have significant nuclear support institutions. Something Australia doesn't have.
Australia is one of the world leaders in grid sized renewable technology . That is one of our strengths. We have both the space and the climate to develop the technology so that we can share it with the world. lt also enables us to develop new sources of income before our coal exports start to shrink.
The renewable energy has already passed nuclear power and is accelerating away. lt is the growth industry and Australia is in the box seat.
Nuclear goes backwards, again, as wind and solar enjoy another year of record growth
Nuclear power suffered a net loss of 1.7 GW capacity in 2023, whereas renewable capacity additions amounted to a record 507 GW, almost 50 percent higher than 2022. This is the 22nd year in a row that renewable capacity additions set a new record, the IEA states. Solar PV alone accounted for three-quarters of renewable capacity additions worldwide in 2023.
Nuclear power accounts for a declining share of share of global electricity generation (currently 9.2 percent) whereas renewables have grown to 30.2 percent. The IEA expects renewables to reach 42 percent by 2028 thanks to a projected 3,700 GW of new capacity over the next five years in the IEA’s ‘main case’.
