I've seen commercials promoting "clean coal"! Albeit, not the prohibitive costs and the horrendous energy coefficient, which rarely if ever gets above 6%?

Never ever seen one extolling the virtues of nuclear power and the claim that, it has per gigawatt, the lowest fatality rate of any energy provision, lower even than renewables?

Or the fact that unconventional nuclear power (MSR thorium) has the lowest costing, cleanest safest energy generation. And carbon-free to boot.

Seriously, had either Chernobyl or Fukushima been configured as M. S.R's, i.e., Molten salt reactors, burning far more abundant and far less costly thorium? None of the problems attributed to those two reactors would have occurred, let alone, have the hugely illinformed//misinformed anti-nuclear brigade rattling their cages/going bananas any time the (the sky will fall) topic is raised.

I wonder what they'd do if someone had the wit to advertise nuclear power along with the verifiable facts pertaining to it.

Or if either coal or gas had to conform to the same rougue emissions criteria as nuclear power, neither would be able to operate!

Would we still have a mining industry if it didn't include coal or gas?

You bet and even more so, given we'd need to mine uranium and or, thorium. Plus lithium and beryllium.

Then we'd need to mine and refine twice as much copper for electric vehicles, when we finally get around to electrifying the economy. Something we can't avoid given the phasing out of combustion engines by the world's vehicle manufacturers.

As for advertising on free to air? It'd be a shame to interrupt all those commercials, with a bit of programme.

"I mostly watch our ABC and SBS and their associated channels, good for news and other quality programs of interest" Paul.

Gee Paul, I thought you were fully a committed Green/lefty, I didn't realise you had to get your brainwashing reinforced nightly.

I will admit that some of the best documentaries have moved from the ABC to SBS, leaving no reason to ever watch the ABC, but News & current affairs Paul. You must be turning into a mushroom if you want to be kept in the dark & fed on Bull sh1t.

I listened to ABC Radio some time back when the ABC reporter became rather obviously more & more irate when the person she interviewed did not let herself get sucked in & say something negative about Trump.
ABC TV hosts too are latching onto the most minimal opportunities to be negative about POTUS.
I don't have any time for the man personally but I rather have him in charge than a Progressive who'd re-stock the swamp worse than it was before. Trump did succeed in ridding America of quite a lot of deadwood. I really wish Morrison would do the same here.
"Our" ABC is full-time advertising for the Progressives as does the SBS.

Hassy, I must admit I have not come across anyone on the ABC or SBS that advocated YOUR idea of nuking 200 million innocent men, women and children in Pakistan, those bleeding heart liberals. You put up what you see as a perfectly reasonable idea, and the soft cocks wont run with it.

BTW Hassy, you said you landed planes on aircraft carriers, did you ever land in the drink? If not, why not?

You are dead right there Paul.

Most of the clowns on SBS or the ABC would wipe out Oz, rather than harm a single hair of any ethnic head. Talk about funding our own 5Th column.

Paul1405,
But, you're quite happy to contribute to the ruining of 25 million Australians !
