  25.  @jorgegwydirrangel3377  Australia is a rather flat dry country, so hydroelectric is out. Australia is also a geologically stable continent, so geothermal is out. Biofuels are a net energy loss; unless you’re talking about burning wood pellets, which is obviously terrible and a stupid idea for a country that’s mostly desert. Most hydrogen is made from natural gas, and what isn’t is a net energy loss like biofuels. Wind has the same problem as solar: inconsistency, and no, batteries aren’t good enough. Currently Australia has one of the largest battery packs in the world, and it’s only good a for smoothing out the demand curve in a lightly populated area. Then there’s the cost of batteries. Most people in Oz live in cities in the habitable costs, so even though the cities have a lot of suburban area, the the city centers are going to need more than solar panels on the roof. Steel mills and the like run best when running 24/, and just on mill/factory can use as much electricity asa small city and need the lowest costs the can get, which is anything but unreliables and batteries. Nuclear on the other hand is consistent, and molten salt reactors, in particular, are the perfect source for industrial heat. Even the current reactors naturally desalinate water, which would be really useful for Oz. Australia is the second largest producer of uranium, so nuclear would actually improve Australia’s geopolitical position by making it energy independent. Moreover, most solar panels are produced in China, solar makes you dependent on China, which is just a stupid geopolitical move.
