Chris what we see is claims that recycling of solar panels and wind turbines is not being done at scale, in a manner that is economically viable. Do you have any examples you can share where recycling can be done at scale, that is economically viable?

Absolutely 100% . What needs to change to make recycling renewables at scale, economically viable?

Not everyone can work in technology sector, the full impact of AI is yet to be seen. AI has already been used as justification for layoffs, even in cases where the technology has yet to be developed, yet alone deployed

Is the government borrowing money to provide rebates and subsidies now considered relief? Whose money will be used to repay the loans and interest on the loans?

Unfortunately it seems like anyone over 55 is struggling to find work.

Doesn’t seem to be a very attractive option either way does it? Im not sure that we have a real understanding, of what are the real trade offs required,and, what the costs to achieve net zero are.

It’s interesting to see what some have to say about renewables and EV’s etc.

I suspect that the outcome might be “ if you don’t want nuclear, no problem we’ll build new coal power plants on existing sites then “

If mean uranium mining, it’s not illegal in Australia, nuclear electricity energy production is. It sure seems to me that the nuclear industry is definitely lobbying to get the ban removed.

No argument from me Kate. I hope the ban is lifted and the bluff is called.

While we have a ban on nuclear in Australia, then it’s not an option, many may argue that market cannot decide ,by lifting the ban then the market can truly decide.

Chris why not just call their bluff and lift the ban on nuclear? Let the market decide what sort of energy generation is the best choice.

Tax rebates and subsidies come from your taxes. There is no free money
comment in response to
post
Chris can you explain how using taxpayer funded rebates and subsidies is actually lowering the cost? Is it being funded with borrowed money?
comment in response to
post
Aren’t energy rebates just tax payers providing subsidies?

Australian energy?? Using Chinese manufactured solar panels, wind turbines and batteries is somehow Australian??

Nope I think you are trying to compare apples and oranges. Iron ore mining was never illegal, the ban on exports, a mining company lobbied to have the export ban of a product they were already legally producing.
They were not trying to legalise a banned product.

mining iron ore was never illegal right? So when the bans on export were lifted, mining iron ore was legal. The business was trying to lift the export ban. Not overturning the out right ban on mining. Very different

Australia imposed a ban on iron ore exports in 1938 to prevent Japan from importing ore from Western Australia's Yampi Sound.
1938
The Lyons government imposed the ban due to the threat of war in Europe and Asia, and the need to keep Australia's limited iron ore deposits for domestic use.

Since when was mining iron ore illegal? I agree that a company will invest in lobbying to change a law, but going to the expense of a detailed feasibility study?
comment in response to

What does iron ore export have to do with a business doing a feasibility study on a nuclear power station?
comment in response to
post
Do you know of any private company that has done a feasibility study on nuclear in Australia without any government subsidy?
comment in response to
post
Makes perfect sense, I don’t think any company would invest time or money on a nuclear feasibility study while it’s still illegal. Why even consider something that is illegal to build?

What about using the 13 coal plant locations that have been closed already?
