John Lindberg ciquta Paul Lafreniere Unplug Nuclear Power You should read Prof Bent Flyvbjerg book. Anyone involved in projects should.

The table below is key

This 2019 article was spot on. None of the promised new nuclear designs have come online. The design furthest along, Nuscale has collapsed, and in 2023, nuclear generation actually declined globally.

The LNP were in Government for a decade and never did anything on nuclear energy because even they know it’s wrong for Australia.

Here’s Angus Taylor MP vehemently disagreeing with himself…

Republicans taking bribes to bail out failing nuclear plants. What could be more American than that?

Those will bring us well on the way towards the 24GW/120GWh of storage that I assume in my weekly simulations

“One of the biggest problems for #nuclear #SMRs is that they don’t exist,” said Allison Macfarlane, director of the school of public policy and global affairs at the University of British Columbia and a former chair of the US Nuclear Regulatory Commission. “We’re still at the…

Why is IAEA - International Atomic Energy Agency ⚛️ Rafael MarianoGrossi worried about attacks on #Zaporizhzhia #nuclear power plant? He says: 'Nuclear energy is safer than it has ever been, and it is safer than almost any other source of energy.' So what's the danger then?

Japan's #nuclear industry couldn't find toilets.
German nuclear phaseout,but it still have radioactive waste problem.Since a permanent German storage facility is out of sight in the near future,the century-long operation is expected to cost hundreds of billions of euros.

The Japanese government and institutions, including the Tokyo Electric Power Company (TEPCO), have claimed that tritium is not dangerous because it emits a very 'weak' beta particle, but the professor called it 'fiction.'

Julien Jomaux funny, picking single days.. with some intelligence you would have been able to pick entire year data... why not taking entire last year average and compare France and Germany? ooops... France slightly higher than Germany?

Sig Fried 🇪🇺 MrUNIMOG Mark Nelson As presented, the argument was that Germany is doing terrible economically bc of shutting down nuclear & electricity consumption falling

Let's check:
France electricity consumption
Q1 2015 144,755.6 GWh
Q1 2024 124,895 GWh

Down 19,860.6 GWh or 13%

Germany electricity…

Thread: Each week I run a simulation of Australia’s main electricity grid using rescaled generation data to show that it can get very close to 100% renewable electricity with just 5 hrs of storage (24 GW / 120 GWh)
Results:
last week: 100% RE
last 136 weeks: 99.1% RE (1/4)
