" This has to be considered against the establishment costs of SMR's which are close to being perfected as well as the much longer term utility of nuclear. "
With rapid advances being made in nuclear innovation including waste utilisation and disposal, imho, governments abrogate their duty to Australian's not to fully consider the implementation of nuclear power generation.
Absolute bs.
l regularly post a list of questions regarding nuclear power in Australia. None of the nuclear trolls have ever been able to provide legitimate answers.
Ever.
Funny how they can't produce the numbers , isn't if ?
All they do is post lies about imaginary SMRs and excuses about other countries that spend heavily on nuclear programs to in part support nuclear weapon programs.
Meanwhile renewables are getting the job done today. Cleaner and cheaper than nuclear which has had a 75 year head start.

No " one day " bs like the nuclear shills carry on with.
As has been demonstrated by the Ukraine invasion , we are held ransom to the cartels and whack job dictators of the world because of fossil fuel.
Now we are seeing a nuclear power station under threat in Ukraine because of the loss of a dam. Further demonstrating how baseload power generation is yesterdays technology.
Renewables will give Australia fantastic energy security via a widely spread electricity system . lt will give Australia a globally competitive manufacturing advantage because of very cheap clean energy.
Here is a chart showing what SA has achieved in under 15 years with relatively old technology and almost no energy storage whatsoever.
The rest of Australia will replicate this over the next 7 years before we see any imaginary SMRs get to market.
