Neither renewables nor nuclear can save our grid : Comments

By Brendan O'Reilly, published 24/7/2024

Neither ‘renewables’ nor nuclear power can now save our electricity grid. Power blackouts and further energy price rises await the ‘lucky country’.

Glad to see it. Nuclear is as daft as renewables.

We have cheap, reliable coal. It's still there, and the nitwits running the country should realise that they have had their chains pulled by man-made climate change, lying scum.

There is no climate crisis: there is a reality crisis, with a political and intelligence crisis.

Let's get our industry and prosperity back. And our self-respect!

An election is coming. Don't vote for anyone who harps about renewables or nuclear. They are full of BS. Coal has made this country what it was, and it can make it what it was again.

I don't support a return to coal, that bird has flown. I've yet to hear a consistent excuse for Australia's huge coal and gas exports other than we need the cash. Why not export knowledge on how to be net zero? Small prob no country knows how to do it. Given that deep greens seem OK with gas I think we will have a national reservation policy within a few years so that LNG exports decline. Japan and South Korea seem to know this hence nuclear restarts and new builds.

If Albo is re-elected and he follows the EU plan to carbon tax everything made in China then coal exports could dive as well. Welcome to energy poverty at home with declining national cash flow. If we could muddle on to the mid 2030s hopefully SMRs will be affordable and quick to build.

And people thought the Sri Lankan government beyond stupid for going organic. Australia's wind and solar push is on another level of environmental and economic destruction.

The wackiness of running a country on wind and sunshine will prove be to just as economy-wrecking and stupid as the Sri Lankan experience. Too late, though. Australian politicians are well qualified in stupidity.

By the time the other lot gets in, it will be too late for nuclear power to save us.

The only solution is 'back to the future' - coal.
