- Geologist Ian Plimer says countries across the world which use nuclear energy have “cheaper power”.
“The facts don’t lie, we have a global example right across the world,” he told Sky News host Rita Panahi.
“Countries that have got nuclear have cheaper power, but what people don’t seem to realise is that it is reliable.”
Just a reminder:
There has been a nuclear reactor right in a populated area of Sydney for over half a century.
And it's not produced a single watt
@@Poorlineforeva Your point?
Since 1958
@Poorlineforeva it produces all the products for medicine, x-ray and cancer treatment
Watt? Not one. But it’s the same. Fkn hardly.
The Guardian is toilet paper.
BP Light (subsidiary of BP) makes a lot of money from the renewable projects in Australia. Of course UK's owned news paper will rubbish nuclear, because BP wont make money.
I would not even use it for toilet paper!
I dunno. TP serves a useful purpose.
It's too slippery
@@hl5910 Yes I think it is toilet paper, it soaks up shit
When it comes to environmentally conscious countries it's hard to go past Sweden. They looked closely at moving away from nuclear to other options. After considerations they decided to stick with nuclear and are planning more nuclear power stations.
The un-science ALP.
Albo howling at the moon.
It’s clean energy as well.
Yeah radioactive waste is totally clean because it kills everything it comes in contact with 😅
@@BenPatterson-ff2dm incorrect. Besides, you you don’t ever come in contact with it. Spent. Fuel is a solved engineering problem. Move along.
@@polarbear7255Medical Isotopes radiotherapy but don't come into contact please
Uranium mining is the most dangerous in terms of carbon emissions!!!
@@ralphmogridge8364 😂 sure buddy… right up there with the lithium mines hey? And the copper mines, and coal mines and every other type of mines.
Clutching at straws for the anti nuclear argument aren’t we? 😂
Elbow is in for a bit of a shock at the next election just quietly
Not as cheap countries that use coal and don't sell it all to china and Japan.
Japan ok to sell to Japan makes stuff that lasts centuries including electronic products
Albo and Wong want Australia to import more windmills and solar panels from ccp instead of the more cheaper and reliable nuclear power.
They are SPECIFICALLY targeting Australian businesses to provide renewables. You are just wrong with your comment. Go check the last budget if you don't believe me.
@@Dont_Gnaw_on_the_KittyThat's not true.
@@Dont_Gnaw_on_the_Kitty yep, that's why Boags is talking about moving base to the mainland and putting off staff
You're full of shit @@Dont_Gnaw_on_the_Kitty
@@alanw8552 Go look up 'Future Made in Australia' act. Don't be fake news bud.
It’s crazy. Both of the most famous nuclear incidents. Chernobyl and three mile island would never have happened if the plants automation was allowed to function. Human intervention caused both accidents
Ian Plimer is 100000% correct
Nuclear Energy has advanced significantly over the last 75 years. There are various thermal power options available that also includes Thorium Reactors, etcetera.
Correct to a previous comment. We've had two reactors hifar and moata producing radio isotopes at Lucas Heights for decades. Moata was dismantled about 10 years ago. No three eyed bream or flatheads have been caught Albo.
My Guardian subscription has been cancelled. They scream out for money & subscriptions but I will not accept their lies & misinformation.
The Guardian is free online
I am not sure why you subscribed in the first place. It has always been undergraduate trash.
@@Want0nS0up True. To be honest, my wife subscribed but she has seen the light 😀👏👏👏
Thorium power stations are very safe .
Thorium power stations do not exist.
Except for in Australia.
And this time don't sell them off.
Facts don’t lie
Shame can’t be said about Bowen…..
Labor goes nuclear with scaremongering 😂
#throwing their toys out of the cot 😂
He shoulda said they're screeching like pollies . Cockatoos screech alot , never mind .
People keep talking about cost when it is irrevant, we need reliable baseload and if it's not going to be coal and gas it has to be nuclear
They don't need to make large nuclear plants no more modular nuclear power plant 'the size of a large house.
Safe and effective.
True dat!
US stats on cheapest energy sources suggests that nuclear power is the most costly!!!
@@ralphmogridge8364 not so. Check the source and find where the money comes from. Electricity prices fall as soon as the nuclear plant comes on line. One of the biggest expenses is security, not power generation. Of course, lower carbon tax with nuclear for the UN. It is all BS. Run coal power until they come on stream. At least with nuclear we don’t have to double our wires/networks across Australia. Holy visual pollution. Can’t recycle panels or windmill blades.
$0.59 per KWH is $590 per MWh!!!!!! Most analyses including CSIRO show gas generation ranging from about $70 to $100 per MWh or about $0.07 $0.10 per kWh. $0.59 per kWh is ridiculous, of course nuclear will appear cheaper if you just make stuff up.
I noticed that theres a "Low Solar" ( weather zone )warning here in Qld for the next four days...... don't remember ever seeing a low coal or gas warning.. until recently with the "renewables" rollout.🤣🤣🤣🤣🍺🇦🇺
Yet no matter how much Labor keep telling us renewables are the cheapest form of energy when it translates into our power bills it will be the dearest form because we have to pay for all the transmission lines, land acquisition, compensation to land owners, compensation to indigenous groups etc etc which will be regular payment and not just a one off. Renewables are going to make electricity bills a nightmare while making labor’s rich mates even richer!
it's almost a shame albo didn't get his misinformation bill through, coz it would be biting him on the A right now!!!🤣🤣
What does Chernobyl and Fuchashima cost...in Health and Money ?
Can’t spell Fukushima… expects to be taken seriously…. 😂
Checks out
Go drink the water at Dalbeg FNQ
Free Batteries and solar for everyone job done move on.
How about you giys all work together for Australia not just the people filling your pockets for the one term your in.
And enjoy a more diverse industrial base, better engineering skillset, dont import their population growth and provides the next generations greater choice in career paths, and a much much lower cost of Government.Although that probably sounds like too conformist with the known fundamentals of successful Nation Building.
This Plimer fossil plays politics all the time. He is supposed to be an expert scientist but appears to think he is an important politician. He is not. Plimer even rambles on about the Voice. He is supposed to be a geologist. Plimer is old, 77 now.
As of 2023, only China and Russia have successfully built operational SMRs. The US Department of Energy had estimated the first SMR in the United States would be completed by NuScale Power around 2030, but this deal has since fallen through after the customers backed out due to rising costs
They haven't even done that
Do tell us what Labor/Greens or any other politicians or party have ever done for Oz except screw up everything that they touch? Every problem can be traced back to govts
China have built over 130 coal fied power plants
@@tomjones5338
They get a lot of Australia's coal and lots of other stuff. Then they give turbines and panels in exchange
Ontario is committed to building SMRs starting in the next few years.
This is in addition to new reactors of conventional size. Formerly nuclear was 70% of the province's electricity mix, but no new reactors have been built for 30+ years, so their share isn't much more than 50% now. This is being addressed.
"Facts may not lie" but history clearly shows Sky news does.
What about the spent fuel rods? what about when the nuclear plants become obsolete? Do you remember Chernobyl, Fukushima, etc.?
What about it. You won't be here so stop whinging.
You would not even know how many people were killed at Fukushima or Chernobyl. I will give you a hint it is a lot less than the road toll. Do you propose to ban cars?
It will go the same place the existing stuff goes
Chernobyl was human error x 4 .
Fukushima was mother nature a unpredictable wave.
@@briananderson7285 Fukushima, all but one the deaths were from the tsunami. The anti-nuclear people hide this. One of the many reasons not to trust them.
Then why are these countries shutting down their reactors, Ian?
;)
Woke hysteria?
Name one country one trick pony.
Their not, they are actually building more if you did some research
More BS from Dickyhead Boy.
Germany shut down reactors as a panic response to Fukushima but are regretting that decision and considering restarting the reactors because they are buying mostly nuclear energy from neighbours at great expense.
Who pays for the decommissioning costs at end of life, and disposal of radioacitive waste ? Also insurance costs for houses in the proximity of reactors ?
Decommissioning 👈😆 What in 80 years. You don't have to worry about that Alf. Just stick with Neighbours.
😆
It's stored underground in a titanium lead box with 3000 Cubitt feet walls and floors designed to be earthquake leak proof sealed in non corrosive container's that will never leak times have changed
@Berserk
@@Berserker978they last less than half that. Stop lying
There's already a nuclear reactor in the middle of Sydney been there since 1958, it provides for nuclear medicine, radiology etc, it will be dealt with the same way
Lol...
Seems Peter Dutton son Tom has his own version of energy and it isn't Nuclear .......😵
😆😆😆......
Leave the Kid alone. Fkn Coward.
Do you believe everything Media state? Do you believe the picture is real?
