The head of the Australian energy market operator AEMO, Daniel Westerman, has rejected nuclear power as a way to replace Australia’s ageing coal-fired power stations, arguing that it is too slow and too expensive. In addition, baseload power sources are not competitive in a grid dominated by wind and solar energy anyway.
shitty operational management will continue to be shitty, because people are people, and as locked down as you try to make nuclear fission, and nuclear waste, there will always be budgetary concerns edging the safety concerns. no terrestrial nuclear, no issue. that’s my position and i’m sticking to it.
