@salemandhercat @luluvif For ultimate decadence, do this with fortified wine.

Theres interest, but I think you would disagree with them on the correcty technology. https://t.co/0Jf8TW4NZB

[Prof Ray Wills @ProfRayWills]

Australia has trillions in super

Why is it so hard to fund the infrastructure that could lower future costs?

@frogslayer69 @MrsColdArrow I lived in Weipa for several years, its a remote mining town. Road access is cut off in the summer months because the roads flood.

Very little government presence or economic activity outside of the mining operation.

@Vero_atLast @Taco_the_Train Being gauss rifles, they wouldnt eject spent casings either...

I guess this was a case of rule of cool overriding logic.

Gauss rifles are cool but so is ejecting spent casings.

@FootnotesGuy The government has no business declaring what is and isn't 'misinformation'.

If the power they hold can be derailed by people saying their plans are foolish, what power do they really have.

@sftunderstand @ShackelWill It's been going on a long time...

@tradesandtime @FootnotesGuy Not quite. When domestic coal resources are available, coal is likely to be cheaper than nuclear (at least in the short term). Nuclear should still be considered but from a purely economical standpoint, coal will likely have the edge in Australia.

[✋🏻Logan Smith - Going Fission @FissionGoing]

@sftunderstand @ShackelWill Multiple reasons, entrenched global institutional pressure (Greenpeace, FoE, etc.) is one factor. Funding of these groups from FF interests is a big issue.

Granted, the nuclear industry itself does not politically advocate for itself effectively, and should improve.

[✋🏻Logan Smith - Going Fission @FissionGoing]

@sftunderstand @ShackelWill That's not true, whaling collapsed in six months after the discovery of crude oil. It didn't need government support, it was the better option.

RE cannot displace FF because it is an inferior energy source.

[✋🏻Logan Smith - Going Fission @FissionGoing]

@sftunderstand @ShackelWill Ok, to bring this full circle back to the original point, why is the government eager to support RE and FF but cannot extend the same support to nuclear?

[✋🏻Logan Smith - Going Fission @FissionGoing]

@sftunderstand @ShackelWill Different reasons. The existing fleet is approaching end of life and their private owners are looking to decommission. The lack of forward planning to replacs them is forcing the government to dip into their pockets to keep these assets running.

[✋🏻Logan Smith - Going Fission @FissionGoing]

@sftunderstand @ShackelWill Its already the cheapest, so its going to be wildly profitable on its own merit, why does it need further subsidy?

[✋🏻Logan Smith - Going Fission @FissionGoing]

@sftunderstand @ShackelWill Fine, remove the prohibition on nuclear and let it xompetebonnitsbown merits.

@JC47053522 @nuclearforaus The challenge was to denonstarte investment interest, don't move the goalpost.
