Don't they know that nuclear - no, seriously 😵‍💫 - is much cheaper?
#Auspol

Last year, China installed more solar panels than the U.S. did in the last 20 years. China’s total installed solar energy capacity is now 600 GW.

There is no time to waste. Time to dump fossil fuels and embrace the renewable revolution.

Angus Taylor has done the numbers on his pocket calculator and nuclear is definitely cheaper.

And yet we are spending in excess of $360billion protecting ourselves from them because that dumpster fire called the USA is supposedly the model our politicians tell us we should be following. That money could be better spent elsewhere #AUKUS

Chinese activity always gives me cause for concern because it is always totally self interested irrespective of the effect on others, but I also know that the Chinese are masters of the long game.

If a gun punter drops massive cash on a nag in the 4th at Flemington, you might want to follow suit.

I crack up every time I hear the No Wind Farms argument that disposing of old turbine blades is a problem yet disposing of spent nuclear fuel isn’t

What to do when the coal don't sell and the gas don't go
How will we cope when the petrol dont be bought and the diesel sales are naught
Oh woe, oh woe, where will the economy go

Strange . Musk business model is battery power and EVs. Here, he is supporting a fossil fuel Trump

The great thing about solar panels is they can be cleverly used in so many places and serve multiple functions. Eg. Shading for carparks. Commonly done. Why not mandate that all rooftop carparks install steel frames that carry solar panels and act as shade devices?

Sorry, but that makes FAR too much sense for 90%of councils !!!

therealgw.bsky.social•56 days ago

Our council offers free 22kwh charging of electric cars for 1 hour time slots, if they coupled that with solar it would be a winner!

pollietragic.bsky.social•56 days ago

Which council offers free 22kwh charging for electric cars for one hour? Ps. Don’t tell Skynews, they hate this progressive nonsense.

Monash, i believe Knox as well, supported via the Exploren app. There are probably many others.

cunning plan .... they look like solar farms the Chinese may claim they are solar farms but in reality they are part of their plan to invade Australia!!!!! overnight those panels will laid across the sea between there and here and the Red Army will come marching down it. nuclear now!!!!!

thenoseknow.bsky.social•57 days ago

Are you channelling P DUDDY'S dreams now?!!!

pollietragic.bsky.social•56 days ago

I grew up with idiots accepting the domino theory that the commo hoardes would be coming down to invade Oz. Oh purleese, don’t get them started again. Solar panel based bridges to get here might just be all they need to fire up!

You actually need to say China also builds nuclear more and more.

And will build SMR to replace coal at site directly.

And use it's industrial heat/steam

Current capacity and upcoming builds

That's right. Also, 2+2 is 0.4. 🤝

Nuclear renaissance 🤣

Ah the wnis sponsored by anti-nuclear groups each year.

Like Greenpeace.
Not a creditable piece.

olthwaiteeric.bsky.social•55 days ago

Agreed. The situation will be far worse for nuclear energy.

Nope and you post the % share for only electricity, that's not netzero.

This below is what our netzero challenge is.

I agree about the irony of Australia's: We HaVe A mArKeT eCoNoMy So We MuSt SuBiSiDsE uNeCoNoMiCaL pOwEr (so rich rent seekers get rent).

600 GW!!!

Australia produced 274,474 GWh in the 8,760 hours in 2023: needing <32 GW of installed generation operating at any time to do so.

600 >> 32

Woah!!!
