Peter Dutton's nuclear power policy is a 'suicide note' : Comments

By Jim Green, published 8/4/2024

Unbiased opinion polls find that support for nuclear power in Australia falls short of a majority, that Australians much prefer renewables, and most do not want nuclear reactors built near where they live.

I thought (hoped) that Friends of the Earth had ceased to exist. They've been irrelevant for several years now and this diatribe confirms that they still have their anti-development, anti-nuclear and anti-human blinkers on. There is no way they can produce a balanced, considered commentary on the possible role of nuclear in the Australian economy, so best to ignore them.

Australians much prefer renewables

Can anyone actually provide just a single (1) example of a renewed item of previously used Green power ?

Australia the innovative nation and clever country, not.

Flogging a dead horse in the cause of delaying transition from fossil fuels to renewables (ditto faux environmental 'degrowth' & 'sustainable population'), but too late.... Anglosphere lags, but the rest of the developed world does not.

FT:

'Opinion Data Points Economics may take us to net zero all on its own. The plummeting cost of low-carbon energy has already allowed many countries to decouple economic growth from emissions'

'Australia' the 'clever' country
Australian definition of clever is how to create a flurry of activity to indicate positive movement toward in establishing some insight into self determination designed to fooling the general populace who have little interest other that the next sporting event being touted at that point in time.
Advance Australia...to where you my ask!

The Dutton nuclear promotion policy is unviable, but that's not the point in defeating Labor. Dutton realises the timelines for nuclear, only be operational in the 2040s, are not, in themselves, a Next Election winner.

Albo, with a one seat majority in the House of Reps [1] to retain power in Government, will be white anted by the Greens, independents and Teals, to become an ineffectual minority Government.

This happened to the final Rudd Government with Negative Abbott (just like "No" Dutton) winning over Labor's shaky hold rather than the Coalition having attractive policies.

[1] see the right sidebar here http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2022_Australian_federal_election . If Labor drops from its current 77 House of Reps seats to 76 in the coming 2025 Election Labor can only form a Minority Government "assisted" by the unreliable support of the Crossbench (Greens, independents and Teals). This will make a Labor minority government easy meat for Dutton.

CORRECTION

Labor needs to lose 2 seats, from 77 down to 75, to become a weak minority Government.

Dutton's nuclear policy may also have value in driving a Wedge between some in Labor (who are quietly pro-nuclear) against the cross benchers who a generally and strongly anti-nuclear.
