  1.  @knight2425  Several countries have electricity significantly more expensive than Australia, Vanuatu for example. Your claim is demonstrably false.

  2. And the French owned Nuclear industry EDF is €56billion in debt. That’s what nuclear energy will do to your economy.

  3. @espoton  So that is a view from a very privileged environment. There are many developing countries that nuclear power is simply is not an option. What price do you put on their lifestyle?

  4. @espoton  Nope you are wrong. 90% viable renewables plus storage has been costed. It is still significantly cheaper than fossil fuels or nuclear. LCOE studies prove this. You appear to not know.

  5. What data shows Australia in rapid decline? The IEA admits that once an energy grid hits 30% renewables (which Australia is already at) nuclear energy is unaffordable. If we had of gone nuclear 20 years ago before renewables then yes it might have worked, but not now.
