Thanks for you feedback Aiden. Kudos.

Ahhh yes of course, I think I might have meant 0.6Gw capacity that
could be relied upon in average wx condx.
I still expected to find something on Asic as they are a company.
I will look at the links Canem gave.

To the Kudos Kid,

Your fixation with Reds under the beds is unbelievable, are they also in your Cornflakes in the mornings? All I can say is for your own safety do not share needles.

The Soviet Union was very actively trying to destabilise the west during the cold war, funding and directing the anti-nuclear movement for example. Would the world be facing a supposed climate crisis had civilian nuclear energy been developed instead of being white-anted by the commies?

I am less interested in pursuing conspiracy theories than I am in seeing economically and technically viable alternatives adopted. Rejecting nuclear as a viable low carbon energy source is like Bronwyn and Mox's denial of Russian atrocities.

Fester,

Back in the days of the Cold War, everything opposed by Capatalism was portrayed as a "commie plot", be it anti Vietnam War protests, to anti nuclear protests. Can you provide evidence of your assertions? Maybe, just maybe, people sometimes protest, not due to some overiding political affiliation on their part, but because they see something as wrong and in need of fixing, could that be possible?

If you are concerned with internal political interference in the affairs of foreign countries, you need look no further than the United States. Everything according to America is in "America's interest", giving them the right to stick their nose in, whenever and wherever, they see fit.

Paul,

From what I have read of Putin, having such influence was standard practice.

Currently there is a view often expressed by the left that liberal democracy is inherently unstable and at risk of degenerating into fascist regimes. That is clearly a "justification" of the Russian invasion of Ukraine.

As for the US being such a wicked country, how is it that Japan and Germany are free of US puppet control, peaceful and prosperous, whereas Russia is paranoid and destitute, run by psychopathic criminals, with an arsenal of nuclear weapons pointed at their "enemies"?
