@MalcolmRaw99915@Peter_Fitz Why when the cost to build and operate is greater than a coal fired generator. Plus at the end of its life the dismantling and cleaning up is more than the building, and the purchasing money goes overseas. Instead why not use the Australian designed and proven Raygen 24hr .
@Peter_Fitz More
Instead of sending all that money overseas .
We have our own design for base load power ready to go now .
Raygen who are currently negotiating with the dutch Photon Energy for a 200MW plant for $600 million .
These can provide power for 10 hours after sunset .
@Peter_Fitz Peter,
Large nuclear cost $(AU)90 billion (UK Hinkley Point C)
Their end of life expected to cost more .
They are not emission free, they require 9000 cubic metres of concrete . There is approximately 200kg of CO2 per cubic metre of concrete ie. 9000 x 200 =1800 tons of CO2
@albericie@RobertFoskett2 Gosh Emma! What a thing, know what it's like. I had a incident with a chainsaw. So get better and yes I agree about our civilization. Miss you on the radio.
@adambspencer@smh Yes head injuries but what about brain injuries. We need helmets with an interior that allows the skull to decelerate over even a small distance . The deceleration is remarkably lower.
Neck and spinal cord injuries also need to be addressed.
@CUhlmann Yes I agree to Steve coming back ! He's taken what the captain should which is unreservedly full responsibility. This marks him as a man, and that is to his credit.
@John_Poelwyk@albericie@theheraldsun Really !
Were lucky to live in a country with a broadcaster that has such deep quality.
Try listening to Rush Limbaugh if you want the opposite.
