Yeah this is why a lot of people were thinking that the Australian opposition asking for spending $40-50 billions for nuclear that would come online in 20-30 years and to keep using coal and gas till then were being stupid.
It wasn’t $40-50 billion. It was estimated to cost $116-$600 billion to build 7 nuclear reactors

I think the likely cost would have been hundreds of billions considering Australia does not have a nuclear energy generation industry. It currently has a very small nuclear workforce as it only has a small nuclear medical reactor on the outskirts of Sydney.
I am talking about the $30 billion that the opposition was making up. My point was that even those made up numbers for nuclear were still more expensive than installing solar and batteries.
It's not stupid if they are paid off by the people selling the coal and gas.
It's just a treasonous level of corruption.
Voters opting to be extorted like this would have been stupid.
