Dear MSM journos writing about #nuclear today…weekend…

Take 8min to listen to the first part of this podcast @reneweconomy.com.au

Frontier Economics has completely trashed its credibility with this “real costs” costings of Dutton’s concept of a nuclear plan. That’s the real story today!! #auspol

@aukehoekstra.bsky.social has documented that experts have failed to accurately predict the drop in cost of solar or the rate of growth. Now he explores the drop in cost of batteries following Wright’s law & shifting battery chemistry. Conclusion: #FossilFuelsAreStrandedAssets 🧪🔌💡☀️💨🔋
This blog post from @aukehoekstra.bsky.social is from June, but I just read it. If you want a bit of (well-evidenced) optimism that ridiculously cheap batteries are coming, and that they will make the energy transition easier (and better) than many of us think, give this a read.
Batteries: how cheap can they get?
How dirt cheap batteries will completely transform our electricity grid, paving the way for solar and wind and replacing grid reinforcements with grid buffers.

The IEEFA found that nuclear energy would lift power bills for households by $665 per year.
Australians don't want to pay the high cost of having nuclear power.

Our research found just 4% would be willing to add over $500 to their energy bills to have nuclear in the mix.

Nuclear would lift power bills for households by $665 per year, IEEFA found. #auspol

"Nuclear energy really is remarkable,"

"It solves so many political problems without solving any real-world problems. No wonder the government & Coalition love to fight about it. It’s a fantastic distraction from their bipartisan support for fossil fuel expansion."

The Coalition’s nuclear power crusade is a futile distraction

The Coalition’s nuclear energy ‘policy’ would make Santa Claus and the Tooth Fairy blush. It's a media and political scam on the Australian people.

Please help pushback against Dutton and News Corp’s nuclear disinformation by sharing these very simple FACTS which show nuclear power is more expensive, slower and will contribute a tiny share of power generation as compared to renewables. The nuclear campaign is designed to undermine renewables👇🏻
