Is he saying it’s cheaper or just part of the energy source mix? I am no fan of the nuclear source idea but with Labor not backing gas or coal as a base load provider and hydro supply being questionable, what is the answer. I like solar for overall daylight supply once the lines and farms are built but in the interim and over the longer term base load supply what is the source supply.
My question about the technical side is that nuclear can and has been built many times the world over and is a relible source and most people on HC wouldn’t entirely understand nuclear technology no matter how much google research they did.
