Inside the Nuclear Regulatory Task Force:
1) What can be done to accelerate nuclear deployment?
2) What is a fish protection system (aka Disco), and why was it so controversial?
3) Can the same large infrastructure systems handle the data centre growth?

Cool chart showing how power prices react in Australia as BESS capacity runs out from the more limited duration of today's fleet.
Expect future fleets to target 4-6 hours to target that higher demand, to the detriment of those gas-run hours.
