Nuclear?, page-106

''Nuke tech had some merit 2 decades ago''

I would say closer to 40 or 50 years ago --

the folly of it for Oz now is to be thinking of it far too late with no established industry and as, if not more importantly - no large STEM educated people - and the one's we do have are heading OS at a great rate of knots - and STEM ed and research funding in Oz has been gutted - the very thing you need to begin a nuclear industry

so aside from all the other obstacles - the STEM drought is what needs to be thought through timing wise - and that's probably almost a 20 year rebuild - BEFORE one can start

''Nuclear???
It would take a special kind of madness to do so''

yes it would - unless one is thinking about 30 years in the future

16 years to rebuild the STEM part of the Oz equation - Ed and experience, then a 10 year building program --

to think it as people conceive Dudd's great big nuke idea - IS MADNESS (if Dud is serious, if he's not - then, it's just plain vanilla bs - which, IMO - is the latter)
