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.

    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
