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.
I’m not sure if this is your first conversation on the topic but the debate is almost entirely on renewables vs nuclear.
There are many other types of renewables than just solar.
Really? Wow! Thanks!
You are not arguing in good faith if you use exclusively solar in one sentence and then make sweeping generalisations about renewables in another. And yes, consider this a final warning from a mod of this community.
I mean, you can ban me for a sarcastic post on your dumb one, sure go ahead if that flicks your switch I guess.
I am arguing in good faith. I live in a country where there isn’t enough good areas for wind and the weakness of the distribution network and other factors like amount of sun prevent quick installations of significant amount of solar. We already have nuclear, the knowhow and place the build more.
So you and everyone else can try to convince me that I don’t live where I do, I will still live where I live.
Now ban me and show me what a big man you are.
Did you notice yourself using the word “solar” in this conversation rather than “renewables”?
Yes. I used renewables. But I used solar before because that was specifically the conversation. What a funny and irrelevant question.
FFS if you can’t see that changing the topic of conversation effects the meaning of people’s responses then I don’t know what to tell you. I’m done here
Woosh…
Moves goalposts. Gets called on it. Acts like a dick. What a waste of space.
Oh. You are back! I thought you said you were done? But you decided try with insults again?
How cute. But you failed the first time, now it’s just cringe 😂.
Too cringe for me I’m afraid. Bye.
