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.

Anyone who believes the LNP that Nuclear is an economic option must be brain dead.

Anyone who believes the LNP at all must be brain dead.

For non-Australian, can you explain me why it’s not economic option for Australia? Many other countries such as Korea, US, Pakistan and China seems to be happy with building nuclear. What’s special about Australia?

Because nuclear is more expensive, slower to put into service, and pollutes more compared to renewables.
