A sensible person would slow down the implementation of renewables until storage was in place.

AEMO released its draft Integrated System Plan yesterday:

https://aemo.com.au/-/media/files/stakeholder_consultation/consultations/nem-consultations/2023/draft-2024-isp-consultation/draft-2024-isp.pdf?la=en&hash=17DED079F7A2066D2872D36B76012749

I note that according to the plan, the cost of wind and solar generation alone (excluding integration costs like inverters, batteries and transmission cables) will make power about twice the price of going nuclear. Add to that the cost of battery storage and a substantial amount of gas generation on standby and it is easy to see costs at least triple that of going nuclear. I'm hoping that Australia abandons this renewable energy idiocy soon.

Hi VK3AUU,

Did you see that China is planning a container vessel powered by a thorium molten salt reactor?
