Whilst Australia has international obligations on steady emissions reductions over time, there is still room for coal and gas to play a part in Australia's energy mix. I would argue that to address skyrocketing electricity prices, we should build at least 4 GW of capacity in brownfields sites in NSW and QLD, at locations consistent with lowest cost coal supply. 8-12GW of nuclear capacity should also be on the drawing board. Thisof course means that net zero is no longer achievable, but does anyone really think it is feasible in the first place? Net zero policy exemplifies the folly of the aphorism: perfect is the enemy of good.

Why should Australia honour false paradigms when it's obvious no one else is - the USA, China, the EC (especially Germany). Nobody is honestly lowering Carbon emissions, and thank God they aren't. Average Carbon Dioxide levels in the atmosphere is 0.004%, when it gets down to 0.003% ALL vegetation dies - and all flesh is grass. So isn't that more dangerous - we are what we eat anf if it's all gone so are we.

The problem is not which form of electricity generation is the cheapest but which is cheapest to deliver to the customer as required. Renewables fall down badly on both delivery systems, a new massive network of costly transmission lines is required, and timeliness, you need costly backup generators (or humungous batteries) on standby for when the sun doesn't shine and the wind doesn't blow. When you factor in those costs renewables are not the cheapest. Which is why electricity costs are sky-rocketing. Take away the subsidies and the economics collapses.

Its tough being a scientist working for gov these days. But the job description kind of requires you to resist the pressures and tell the truth. Politicians are necessarily amatures in a democracy. They must have good advice from the public service, you cannot outsource this to companies. In their turn, politicians need to have enough wisdom to keep their hands off the advisors. Ask hard questions, for sure, but dont threaten or seek to influence the result.

_How much power would one nuclear power plant generate?_ They come in different sizes. One modular plant is about 300MW. Bill Gates' TerraPower will put out about 345MW which is quickly scalable to about 500MW for over 5 hours--that's enough for 400 homes. It uses the heat from the molten salt to do this. There are many big nuclear power stations around the world putting out about 1GW--the same as a big coal plant. Koeberg's two plants in Africa put out 1.940GW combined. We're far behind in Australia. The two Hinckley C plants will put out 3.2GW combined and are expected to last 60 years.

It staggers me that as a country that produces 1.4% of the C02 in the world's atmosphere we as a nation are wasting time, resources, energy & effort, our limited finances and our expertise on all these so called Alternatives including nuclear. When we need the cheapest most readily avaialable energy to reshore our manufacturing so we are not held to ransome by large overseas countries that are using coal, building 100's of new coal power stations and stripping our nation of jobs, production, tax base and income. As Dietrich Bonhoffer said, "Stupidy is more intractable than wickedness".

_It staggers me that as a country that produces 1.4% of the C02 in the world's atmosphere_ What matters is per-capita CO2 production. Clearly, that's a step beyond your understanding. Australia emits 15.01 tons/person against the world average of 4.8, placing Australia at no 12 of per-capita emitters. For raw emissions, Australia is no 16, still very much closer to the top than the bottom. Manufacturing is not viable in Australia as Australia has the highest minimum wage in the world. Search it. Australia also has one of the lowest (102 of 145) economic complexity indices in the world, below Nepal, Rwanda, Bangladesh, etc. Search _economic complexity index by country._ That means Australia's national economy is a simple, raw-materials-exporting, third-world economy. Luckily, there's enough raw materials to keep all of us relatively wealthy. But, of course, you know nothing about this. Australia embraces ignorance and celebrates stupidity.

CIS, FIRSTLY Brownfield can be More Expensive than Greenfield. But You are Right Brownfield can be Cheaper than Greenfield. Hence the Truth about which is Cheapest is done on a Case by Case Basis. Plus with Consideration of Background Socio-Economic Environment at the Time of Intended Build. SECONDLY CIS's Coal Cost Estimates for Kogan Creek Assume Stable OIL Prices. It Pays to Remember Coal is Very Very Reliant on OIL. THIRDLY The Insurance Cost of Aussie OIL and COAL is Underwritten by the Federal Government. Hence if COAL had to Pay Market Insurance Rates that Reflect the RISK. COAL Would be Much More Expensive Per Tonne. This Underwriting of COAL, OIL, GAS Risks is Part of the Reason Many Nations, Including Australia, have to Pay REPARATIONS for Global Climate Change Issues.

Pity about the health destroying effluent and the damage merury does to our brains. The water consumption is insane, the cleanup costs huge and often avoided by big coal. The fly ash is also a toxic problem. None of these problems exist with solar and wind.

Agreed. However, CIS makes no bones about the fact that they are biased, and what their biases are. CSIRO and AEMO claim to be unbiased, and will not reveal their biases, even in the face of a FOI requests. Clearly gotta protect those deep Australian military secrets - about _public_ policy.

@@factnotfiction5915 A strange defense - how are we supposed to debate this matter with lobbyists like this presenting biased analyses? And I don't see anything similar from my side of the "debate". You and I will never agree, but this is just BS. Then you assert that AEMO and CSIRO are biased - I can't accept that. Just because you don't like what GENCOST said, is no reason to libel those organisations (and the staff). I can accede that GENCOST could be flawed, and maybe should be revised, in the light of all the analysis and possibly dubious assumptions, and criticism from your side, but it was a first attempt at such a study. The answer isn't to ignore everything it says. Can you imagine how people are going to react when Ted O'Brien finally releases HIS position paper?

The CSIRO isn't a scientific organisation anymore. It has become politicalised and now focuses on justifying ideologies with religious verve, with only selective consideration of actual science where absolutely necessary. That's what you get with a couple of decades of politically motivated hiring of the right "scientists" and management, and the dismissal of anyone who disagrees with the "agreed science". The whole ethos of science is not to agree with beliefs, but to pursue the truth as illuminated by the data. Not the truth as enforced by politicians like Bowen.

Reports are always subject to garbage in garbage out accusations. The base data and methodology need to be understood first to determine if they are accurate and appropriate for the required purpose. There should be scientific, not public servant or political, review of the findings by qualified scientific experts - none of which happens any more, if ever. It then simply becomes a football match to see who can spin it the best. A disappointing way to treat our children’s future. Just let Adi Paterson and a panel of foreign nuclear experts do the work and present the findings - I may actually pay attention to their conclusions.
