However now it's probably too late... CAPEX of Nuclear, just like Coal plants are prohibitive..

Much cheaper to use gas in modified existing plants as a transition fuel IMO.

people would cry blue murder if you build new coal or nuke which are both quite a lot more expensive now then renewables over a 30 year period if you include capex.

Sure there is the storage issues to be resolved with most renewables apart from hydro, but forward thinking like integrating electric cars onto the grid, stored hydro, large scale vanadium batteries and many other options should be able to solve this in the future.

Don't get me wrong i would be up for nuke but id would be hard for any gov in oz to get not only the funds approved as well as fighting the inevitable scare campaigns...

The best option would be to try and dismantle John Howard's nation wrecking natural gas deal that sees us as being the 2nd biggest exporter of gas in the world at rock bottom prices until 2031..
The exports get all the preference and we get scammed as usual..

Yep, people still think Chernobyl.
But they forget it was over 30 years ago....how far has ALL technology advanced since then? The world wide web didn't eventuate until 1990.
