China has 16 nuclear power stations under construction. The rest of Asia has 75% of the global commitments to nuclear power stations.
Meanwhile Australia drags its feet. All sorts of nonsense excuses: like “it’s illegal” (!). Like “it takes too long”. Like, “we can’t build large-size nuclear” (why not?). Like “Small Modular Reactors are not viable” (yet). Maybe Australia could get working on repealing legislation that makes nuclear illegal. At least start that process.
While the Australian Conservation Foundation is clearly ideologically against nuclear, the Australian population is in favour of Australia developing nuclear power. Time for ACF to get in board, or at least be neutral. Nuclear supporters also support renewables. Renewables supporters are often against nuclear. Why is that?
