And once again the nuclear shill refuses to answer the simple questions.

1. How long would it take to get the legislation changed ? Give the recent referendum result l suspect it would take a very long time.

2. Once the legislation is changed how long would it take to establish a nuclear support industry similar to that of nuclear countries ?

3. How much would all that cost ?

4. Once all that is done, how long would it take to build one baseload nuclear power station ?

5. How much would that power station cost ?

6. Where would they get the water from ?

7. Which council or community in Australia would host a nuclear power station ? Considering that people are losing their minds at wind turbines that they can't see, how do you think you'd go building a nuke anywhere in Australia ?

8. Where will you store the toxic nuclear waste and used nuclear equipment for thousands of years ?

9. Who will pay for that storage and security for thousands of years ?

10. How would that nuclear power station compete in the market with renewables when mature coal fired power stations can't in 2023 ?

11. While we're waiting multiple decades for all that to happen what we do for electricity ?

firstly you would think you know this considering how often you repeat the same rhetoric but

A referendum isn't required to remove the prohibition bill...
Considering the largest technology company in the world in Microsoft is investing in nuclear, along with leading universities like MIT, it would not be difficult with investment to establish a nuclear industry
Less than the $1T touted for renewable energy transformation
7-15 years on average to construct a reactor site, dependencies varied.
Between $2-4 Billion per nuclear unit
Location dependent
Location dependent, could be located on federal land, which wouldn't require council or state government approvals
The total of the worlds historical nuclear waste can be stored in the grand total area of a football field. Storing nuclear waste is a non-issue especially considering new technology about recycling/re-using spent rods
Renewables arent competing in the retail market with base load power at current.
Using your methodology we will be waiting decades for battery firming technology that doesn't currently exist, so its a moot point.

There you go...
