I am bemused by the embrace of nuclear power amongst climate denialists. Build SMRs they say in the old coal fired power stations they say.
The only problem is they never talk about the costs or the time it takes to build them.
They will never be competitive with renewables in terms of cost or in the time to build them and they do not have the problem of nuclear waste. Former Chief Scientist Alan Finkel says why waste time on nuclear given how long it takes to build the stations given the cost of renewables!
Funny how there are no commercial examples of successful modular power plants.
Here is Renew economy
