If gas is the answer? Then why not inexhaustible biogas? Well?

Simply put, every household in Oz produces enough biological waste to not only power their domiciles 24/7 but if scrubbed and then fed in ceramic fuel cells a 50%+ salable surplus and forever!

That would require a massive retrofit and steel mills reopened across the nation and on overdrive 24/7

And something that'd be producing wealth and jobs, jobs, jobs for the nation, well beyond the pandemic!

There's no question that the days of coal are very numbered or that the only viable substitute is nuclear. Or that, that nuclear has to be MSR thorium.

And doable now that that the remaining bugs have been ironed out. And they're not responsible for the massive bird kill of these eyesore monstrosities/windmills.

The Morrison government needs to get behind nuclear. At least then they'd stand for something other than spin, sports rorts and pork barreled railroad parking where there are no railroads? AND WITH TAXPAYER FUNDS!

Quite a record to stand on as we approach the next election?

As for labor, what they so obviously stand for, is simply winning the next election! THAT IS ALL!

And kowtowing/selling their souls to the greens and their dumber than dumb policies, if that's what it takes!?

Nuclear power? They'd die in a ditch first, regardless of how much that is the first, most obvious and sane choice going forward!

Alan B.,
Gas is not the answer, but I'm curious as to where you got the idea that every household produce 50% more biological waste than needed to power it? It sounds very unlikely to me.

Also, if you think it's true then why do you not regard it as a viable alternative to coal?

Meanwhile in the real world, nuclear power is quite an expensive alternative. Renewables are a much cheaper option for Australia, despite most on this board being unable to comprehend that.

And the problem of massive bird kills from wind turbines was solved decades ago by not using a truss tower to support them.
