Questions and discussion about solar, batteries, and electrification
Nuclear better on cost, waste, build time.
Remove nuclear ban and get on with it.
Australia has lots of stable land for waste.
Report says nuclear power is cheaper than solar.
SMR come from UK US, solar from China. We reduce
our dependance on China. SMR life is 60 years.
SMR placed on old coal sites, grid to site already.
Prepare site 2 years, ship and install SMR 2 years.
Coal miners move to uranium /iron-ore jobs.
UK SMR design is PWR 2 year refueling cycle.
Sealed containers go in land fill.
Solar uses lots of food land and new grid built
long distances to it. Panels last 20 years made
with China rare earths so go to landfill.
Energy prices in France are cheaper than Australia.
They use large nuclear, SMR prices would cost less.
France energy prices raised by 4% and UK by 54%.
Australia uses 60% coal, using 25% nuclear can cut
coal use by half in 4 years.
Going 25% nuclear would mean 3 SMR in each State.
Remove nuclear ban.
