Sooo...............lt will take at least 25 years to get the first one finished. That's 2049. Refer to my post the other day about time required for legislation changes, a regulatory system established , planning and environmental impact issue and then construction time . After all that l suspect the process would be quicker . ln the 2050s 60s and 70s.
What do we do for electricity in the interim given that all coal is scheduled to be shut down over the next 11 years ? How would those baseload power stations compete with a 100% renewable grid that will have been operating for about 14 years before the first nuclear power station is completed ?
l note you haven't had a go at my regular list of questions . Why is that ? Cat got your tongue ?
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 ?
