New report skewers Coalition’s contentious nuclear plan – and reignites Australia’s energy debate (theconversation.com)

The report’s central conclusions – rejected by the Coalition – are relatively unsurprising. It found nuclear power would be far more expensive than the projected path of shifting to mostly renewable energy. And delivering nuclear generation before the mid-2040s will be extremely challenging.

we don't have the infrastructure or the knowledgebase in place. So we're starting entirely from scratch. We'd have to import pretty much every person involved, and for what? We're literally soaked in renewable resources that make far better sense to use.
