  1. While not disputing the technology, can you point to a commercial SMR that is currently providing electricity to a grid.

  2. Yes. This is regularly done. LCOE studies all show wind and solar at significantly less cost. Read LAZARDs latest study. It is easily accessible on the internet.

  3.  @-bv6iw  Fossil fuels are subsidised to the tune of $billions in Australia. Are you suggesting there are no transmission costs with fossil fuel powered electricity? Because that’s just fallacious nonsense.

  4.  @-bv6iw  Factually incorrect. Part of the LCOE formula is capital infrastructure costings. Have you even looked at the formula? Next which LCOE report are you referencing when you claim the government hasn’t included transmission costs. The current Labor government has been quite open with the fact new transmission infrastructure will be needed to be built. Lastly who said anything about diesel rebates. Last year in tax breaks and subsidies by federal and state governments the total was $11.1 billion. I am astounded by your level of ignorance on the subject. Do you work in PR for a fossil fuel company?

  5.  @-bv6iw Nice response. I like it when you can disagree but still appreciate a friendly dig without getting abusive. I’m off to hug a few gay whales.
