. @fitzhunter i personally have no issue with removing the nuclear ban, & gave testimony to that effect at 2 recent inquiries.
correcting your nonsense:
1. this "latest generation" doesn't yet exist, & won't be commercial for > a decade. why do you use the present tense? https://twitter.com/fitzhunter/status/1347317979675955200

2. no, the inquiries did *not* find evidence disputing the claims that nuclear is too expensive.
i agree that being expensive is not a reason to ban, but *nobody* has produced reputable data showing nuclear is affordable in australia.

3. nuclear is a lousy source of firming power.
firming power necessarily has a low capacity factor. many gas generators operate < 5% capacity factor.
nuclear economics, already poor, erode very quickly as capacity factor dips below 90%.

4. there is *nothing* stopping anyone from testing community support, building an investment proposal nor debating the merits of a particular projects.
people build business plans well in advance of regulatory license all the time (eg. medical marijuana).

5. you might want to rewrite this paragraph noting that most reactors in japan have been shuttered, most in the UK will be by 2030, more than a few in the US… and the sector is unlikely to grow its market share this decade.
hundreds will *not* be built any time soon.

i guess your opinion piece is little more than a bit of virtual signalling, but really it shows your understanding of energy transition is, as you'd say, "underdeveloped".
