It's a shame nuclear will never be an option in Australia.
The greens and Labor won't support it on ideological grounds, and the Libs are too in the pocket of the coal lobby to support it.
Policy evaluation is dead in Australia.
Is there any other technology that gets the same stigma from early iterations as nuclear?
The right of Labor would support it, but it would tear the party apart in doing so.
The issue with nuclear remains NIMBYism. We can’t even redevelop inner city housing without resident action groups complaining. Where the hell would we put a nuclear power station?
Ideally, they'd be exactly where the coal plants are.
