  1. Probably not, but every LCOE study I have read has wind and solar significantly cheaper than nuclear.

  2. @stewatparkpark2933  Yep, so what? Coal subsidies are worth 1.2% of our GDP. $9.7 billion in fossil fuel subsidies such as household bill relief and tax breaks to coal and gas producers. An estimated $55 billion in environmental costs. These are all the IMF reports figures not mine.

  3.  @thomasschumacher5362  If you mean zero emissions I don’t think anyone seriously thinks that is possible. Net zero is the best we can hope for. Personally I don’t think it will happen and we will have to simply deal with an unusually fast warming atmosphere. There will be consequences with that including rising sea levels rapidly changing agricultural situations and mass and I mean massive human migrations. It will cause wars left right and centre.

  4. Electricity is already cheaper here than in Finland.

  5. @positivepawpaw7564  Yep RWNJs like yourself really hate it when your idiotic narrative is questioned.

  6.  @jmcham1000  Depending on the data. The studies I have read they are unsubsidised costs. You do understand that while the RET creates a financial advantage for renewables in Australia at the same time fossil fuels are subsidised by the taxpayer something like $20 billion a year.

  7. @jmcham1000  LAZARDs latest LCOE study. LCOE studies by The IEA, the CSIRO Gencost report. When I said depending on the data I mean you can subsidise any means of production you want fossil, nuclear, and wind, by as much taxpayers can afford too, except you are trending over to socialism there. Fossil fuels in Australia are heavily subsidised by governments/taxpayers and nobody complains about that.

  8. @jmcham1000  The same thing happened to me on another subject about the NDIS, where you called me a troll, and I commented you only had half a brain cell. Go figure.

  9. No argument there and some other pluses as well, however it won’t provide cheap power. In the US, France, and Korea it is heavily subsidised. CO2 friendly it is cheap it is not.
