The energy mix must have strong baseload capacity (the minimum amount of electric power needed to be supplied to the electrical grid at any given time) before renewables are considered, to ensure reliability.
No industrialised nation developed its economy based on variable generation of electricity.
They needed a reliable backbone that could be depended on at all times.
European countries used natural gas, coal, hydro or nuclear as their baseload capacity and added on variable renewables.
If Australia wants to exploit its natural resources and retain a satisfactory power base, it needs sustainable, reliable and affordable baseload electricity.
That can be found in a source like nuclear.''

It can also be found in coal and gas. The Chinese seem to think so. Coal and gas would give us the lowest price for electricity.
