IMO, we need at least 3 Nuclear/electric plants to service peak load in Eastern States with a mix of Hydro-Wind-Solar elsewhere if we have a hope of being carbon neutral by 2060.
The development of these Nuclear plants would give us the opportunity to further develop our Lucas Heights experience, use our own uranium & over time develop our own Nuclear Capabilities.
Its silly spending $300 billion arming ourselves with pea shooters against our perceived enemy China which has massive Nuclear capabilities. No wonder China is laughing at us!
