  • Just my two American cents.

    The Australian Royal Navy to my understanding maintains roughly somewhere between 7 and 14 nuclear-powered submarines. Your country has the technology, and the expertise to run nuclear programs but you would need to e to develope implement and import more workers in field .

    I am 100% for renewables.

    I am 100% against greenwashing gas powered stations with solar panels.

    If I was omnipowerful and could dictate what humanity does as a whole for the next few decades to fix our current power problems. I would convert at least 1/3 of the current coal and gas-fired turbines into nuclear-powered turbines. I would continuously and ruthlessly continue to develop solar wind and hydrogen based tech.

    Ideally I’d want to cover the base load with nuclear and then use renewables to desalinate and split water into hydrogen during the day and then to burn that hydrogen during the peak load at night.




  • To convert the cost per megawatt hour (MWh) to cost per kilowatt hour (kWh), you can divide the cost per MWh by 1,000. I’m an American. Don’t let me out metric you. And don’t forget to add the extra $0.05 onto the renewable with peakers number because their calculation excludes the carbon capture. It’s almost as if this infographic was made to be purposefully misleading. Pikachu.jpg

    Corrected typo from $0.50 to $0.05

    Large-Scale nuclear would be $0.16 per hour versus gas with CCS at $0.19 per hour. But they’re claiming that they can do solar for $0.10 per hour and that if they combine solar and gas it’ll be $0.13 per hour

    The issue is you can’t just have gas without having CCS. If you’re planning on fixing the environment so the cost for solar plus gas and CCS comes up to roughly $0.18 per hour per kilowatt

  • If you read your own article, this is a plug for continued development of gas-fired power plants which are better than coal but still are burning fossil fuels and are heavy polluters.

    And if you do the math at worst, you’d be paying a few extra cents for nuclear power than for renewables supplemented by gas fired peaker plants. And those are not carbon capture gas fire beaker plants. Those are just straight up gas plants belching sulfur dioxide directly into the atmosphere…
