Queensland - The Unclear(Nuclear) State, page-17

Hi Scott,
No one is calling for nuclear as an "immediate" or direct change from coal.
You seem to have an unfounded blind hatred of Dutton for merely suggesting (as I have) for a comprehensive study of nuclear as a possible component of a mix of energy technologies.

It is well appreciated throughout the world that renewables can play a significant part in an energy mix however, they will never be able to provide 24/7/365 endless, long term, clean power. Add to that the enormous environmental destruction by mining and land degradation/acquisition for the massive renewable planning envisaged by the climate zealots.

Bowen for example is a proven political failure and his mad rush to destroy Australian reliable power is having a massive impact on many fronts including costs and the environment. He is trying desperately to restore the public's confidence in him while contemporaneously further destroying his credibility!

Some countries have the advantage of natural utilisable energy sources such as hydro. Many of them use nuclear as a contributor for security.

Australia has many natural resources such as the sun, strategically located wind, gas, coal, and probably the world's largest uranium resource.

Time is not of the essence in long term planning in our case as we are miniscule polluters. Sane and sensible forward planning is required from a practical perspective and cost/security/benefit.

Once SMR's are perfected, and they will be, we could then very well plan distribution locations according to need to ensure continuity of required power generation.
