Sadly many still believe that nuclear is the answer and will magically be cheaper than renewables, which already push prices so cheap as to allow plans that literally give away energy for free.
'renewables don’t need a debate, don’t need a new industry, don’t need 15+ years lead time, and don’t need to be 100% bankrolled by taxpayers. firmed renewables are available now, are cheap & constantly getting cheaper, and there’s a huge industry & workforce ready & willing to roll them out.'
I had to explain the energy transition to my local federal MP, why closing coal early is good, and why nuclear power can’t help Australia solve the climate crisis.

The UK phased out coal-fired electricity in 2024 after a decade of declining generation. Gas generation is also on the decline. If you want to meet growing electricity demand, it’s now cheaper to do so with renewables than fossil fuels. 🧪🔌💡 www.technologyreview.com/2024/09/30/1...
The UK is done with coal. How’s the rest of the world doing?
The country’s final coal-fired power plant just shut down, marking a major milestone for the notoriously polluting fossil fuel.

Number of UK charge points (71,459)
Actual connectors (108,633)

That's 1 connection for every 12 cars (most of which charge at home)

As expected, winds have risen steadily over Ireland since yesterday afternoon with wind generation peaking at about 98% of demand in the wee hours. Adding hydro and biomass, renewable generation briefly exceeded all-island demand around 3.30am for the first time since March 5th.
