The head of the Australian energy market operator AEMO, Daniel Westerman, has rejected nuclear power as a way to replace Australia’s ageing coal-fired power stations, arguing that it is too slow and too expensive. In addition, baseload power sources are not competitive in a grid dominated by wind and solar energy anyway.

    I mean, you can ban me for a sarcastic post on your dumb one, sure go ahead if that flicks your switch I guess.

    I am arguing in good faith. I live in a country where there isn’t enough good areas for wind and the weakness of the distribution network and other factors like amount of sun prevent quick installations of significant amount of solar. We already have nuclear, the knowhow and place the build more.

    So you and everyone else can try to convince me that I don’t live where I do, I will still live where I live.

    Now ban me and show me what a big man you are.
