My home is in south eastern New South Wales. I have interests in: #climatechange as it seems the world many be a very unpleasant place for my kids and grandkids, the #environment for a similar reason, #physics as it makes our civilisation possible, #astrophotography because it’s cool, #photography as I like capturing the moment, #renewableenergy as it’s the only way out of the #climatecrisis, renewable powered vehicles as #evs and hydrogen is the way of #fossilfuels.

@ajsadauskas @just_kitten @Seagoon_ it was as it explained a few things about some people I worked with. They also made a TV version.

@ajsadauskas @just_kitten @Seagoon_ sounds like a workplace psychopath. John Clarke’s “Working With Monsters” has people who sound like this.

@Ardubal @ajsadauskas @australianpolitics the key to this is that it’s not an either or situation. If we want to do nuclear then it can’t be by defunding renewables like that LNP and many populist pundits want. We need to decarbonise our economy as quickly as we can. Stuffing around trying to derail renewables really is a recipe for disaster.

@Ardubal @ajsadauskas @australianpolitics I think the issue with nuclear reactors in the Australian context is that we have no nuclear power construction industry, we don’t have a workforce, we don’t have the education system geared to produce a workforce nor are there standardised proven working designs that we can cookie cutter. The NIMBY battles haven’t started yet nor the court challenges. We need to replace coal in the next 10 years and to do it the nuclear way will take 20 to 30 years if at all. All the while power produced by nuclear reactors will become even more expensive than renewables and is certainly not economic.
Other than that, there isn’t a problem with nuclear reactors. The LNP approach of pivoting to nuclear by defunding renewables is really ludicrous as we can’t afford to wait.
