Some are good and some are Not. They are often Quick and convenient IF you are "On the Road" and usually good value. I Never go entirely on a single recommendation as peoples Idea of what a GOOD Chinese Meal is Varies a lot. Generalising, I would prefer THAI Food. The More Authentic, the Better. Nev
It WAS an election Promise. Cost of nuclear is shown in tender Figures. Build time is long and often runs well over accepted Price. Are We going to process Our Yellow Cake? That's NOT Nuthin. and Where's the Disposal going to be? It's a world wide Problem. No one wants to Be Near a Nuclear Power station. Blowing one UP would be catastrophic and with Solar You are Independent of the Type of people who would charge you for Oxygen if they could find a Way to do it. any STEAM in the process is Low efficiency and more failure prone.

WE KNOW you are a FAN Siso. Aluminium and copper refining could use their own NUCLEAR, IF it's so good and not EXPECT the rest of US to subsidise their Power as has been done in the Past. Think BIG. We have Plenty of Bauxite. IF it's OK. Private Enterprise would do it. Nev
Better Also to Fix the thread where you cut it to Make it so it doesn't damage where it's going to Go and starts easily with a Chamfer and a bit of a lead in Especial with softer Metals Like Aluminium and High Tensile Bolts. Nev
The GRID is the MAJOR expense and will be Needed NO Matter what form of generation is Used. WE are a sparsely settled country except for the Major cities so THAT cost is Higher per person Disposal of waste is a WORLD Problem Radioactive waste is Not like other poisons. It is life shortening and DNA destroying and causes Cancer. We try to reduce exposure to Radioactivity always. Nuclear IS EXPENSIVE and produces Wasted Heat. Australia is an idea place for Solar and wind and wave and tidal as it's surrounded by water and many live near the Coast. No Need to Import any fuel from an overseas source, ether. Nev
IQ of 110 is Not that SMART. None of US are getting out of THIS ALIVE. IF you are NOW "OLD", you might qualify as a "Smart FART". whereas I'm a "Silly old fart". to some People. I DO get told I'm GOOD (For MY age). I don't know whether that's a compliment or Not. Nev
I think you could rule that Out. You are too old. More Likely the Sun was in your eyes, Did you have your correct flavoured milk? No leaky exhaust system? No fear of Kangaroo's. Have a Nice shower and I Hope you are OK after the long drive. There's NO place like Home, OME. Nev
I wouldn't couple Pumped hydro with Flood Mitigation for which you need a crystal ball. Remember Flooding Rivers are Made from tiny Raindrops or melting snow crystals. WE haven't even tried much YET in the renewables arena. You Need certainty of commitment and ONE side keeps sabotaging it for Political Purposes. Look where THAT got them but they Must obey their MASTERS. The IPA (Reinhart worth 37 BILLION)and the Mainstream MEDIA(who OWN them). Make the RICH RICHER is their Business Model. It PAYS Better.
There's plenty of innovative ways to store energy , IF we put our Mind to it. Nev
IF they are not smarter than People, which they Must be, the real reason is to MAKE MONEY EASIER. and you will not know fake from DEEP fake and outright deception. Brave New World. The POTENTIAL will be exploited and the benefit to you will be accidental IF at ALL. Nev
