Dutton is saying the first two Nuke plants will be SMR. These don't exist.
Given the US has only built 2 Nuke units since the mid 1990's and most of the Nuke power plant builder have gone bankrupt. I don't think they can be relied on re timing
Remember the Newcastle Earthquake
Here's La Trobe valley
Water. Yeah Australia has never had a problem with water. Hahaha. France shutdown Nuke plants last year as the cooling water was either too hot or not available.
Just because Dutton says he has Commonwealth powers, doesn't make it so. There are examples where States right were upheld in the Federal Court over the Federal Govt re land acquisition. Overturning bans with a hostile Senate - good luck. Forcing States to overturn bans - good luck.
What cost of compulsory acquisition?
I suppose all this not a problem when you have nuclear experts like Sussen Ley, Barnaby Joyce, Angus Taylor and of course Peter Dutton, particularly with the hopeless compliant media
