Fantastic we don’t want it or the thousands of years of radio active waste and the risk it represents to future generations. Just ask them in Fukushima how “Safe” and economical they are. They have to spend enormous amounts of money and electricity to cool the ocean around their leakage site to prevent it polluting the ocean around it. All from an earthquake and the Tsunami. I bet they wish they had never heard of nuclear power.😡

Beholden to the loony Greens so …

Energy retailers don't want affordable energy in Australia

We don't have the infrastructure to build/maintain one, plus there is the cost & time to build one, I guarantee the cost will blow out of control & people will whinge at taxpayers' money being wasted, then when it's finally built something better will come along, tis a vicious cycle.

We're not so fucking dumb after all

So can approving Rex Patrick's ADGSM mechanism that he negotiated with the Libs in exchange for helping pass their tax cuts. The legislation is still sitting there, waiting to get signed off and would give immediate cheap gas to the Australian market, which happens to set the marginal price for electricity. Nuclear: wait for a decade or two to get built, cost of billions, waste an issue ADGSM: immediate, no cost to Australia

Our Liberal government leased the supply of electricity for 99 or 199 years (can't remember) with a guaranteed income for them. The more people that get solar, the less income they get, so up goes the prices. So, who is in who's pocket. What you put back into the grid should be paid back to you at the same rate as that they charge you, but will never happen. Companies are ai it to make money and they don't give a shit if you're struggling with power prices.

Yeah - Well aren't we just so dumb!

All I know is my power bill isn’t getting any cheaper with renewables.

sickening, round the world, France had it get too hot for them and just avoided a disaster, Japan had a tsunami that potentially could have caused a disaster with nuclear power, in the middle east ist the threat of attacks on nuclear power plants!! no thank you we have enough sun power to avoid such a potentially devastating power source

Our 'economy' is a sandbox. Some know we should vertically integrate.

For those promoting this, build the reactors in their suburb, and dump the waste there as well.

Nuclear must at least be considered as part of the mix. Legislate to allow it and then let the market and community decide

nuclear power has it's own problems look at the Japanese American , Ukraine all have nuclear power and all have had diastrers

Id suggest the Senator do some more research ,as knowledge is power Hmm.... maybe we could plug a couple wires into his "Knowlege nodes " and light up a calculator for a few seconds , so he could do the calculations and see it just doesnt add up .

YOUR RELIANCE ON SNR TECH HAS PROVEN TO BE A FURPHY.. So admit it, BIG NUCLEAR REACTORS COMING TO YOUR CITY SOON!!!

What a joke stick your stonage nuclear power what about all the plutonium waste how about something new

Coal is Australia's cheapest base load energy. Climate crap is destroying the environment, food security and production.

Because we are the stupidest country run by stupid politicians…

Why have all but one comment has been filtered out?

Lies, cause major countries and economies have been steering away from Nuclear for years, it's the most expensive form of energy generation, and only the stupid would believe a report commissioned by the same millionaires/billionaires that have been ripping them off for years

Ridiculous, and what’s worse, you know it 😂

Maybe we're the only one with an abundance of wind and solar power available for a tiny population.

Sad but true

Nuclear power stations are just not economic to build or run. Solar, wind, hydro, wave power etc cost a lot less to establish and maintain and there are no on going fuel costs or the risks associated with disposal of waste. No nuclear power station has been built without governments guaranteeing the loans used for construction; Why/ Because financial markets consider it too risky. After a 70 year life the cost of dismantling and disposing of thousands of tons of radioactive concrete, steel and water [demolishing a potential hazard] has so far exceeded all of the claimed economies nuclear is supposed to have given... Get reliable research and study. Those proclaiming nuclear power stations either are uninformed or have vested interests to promote.
