a little bit of nostalgia. .. power is.... (fill in the gaps)
Blah, blah, blah, usual blathering Smurf -about as much focus on cheap energy..Agreed with the point you're making.
But......
I think there's a much deeper story here as to why all this is occurring in the first place.
My theory is it comes down to society having lost the ability to objectively consider all aspects of an issue. Winning the argument has become more important than getting to the correct answer. That combined with an unwillingness to consider or even acknowledge alternative perspectives and treating debate as a personal battle rather than a discussion on the subject is a certain path to escalating conflict.
Related to that is society's apparent obsession with the idea that a consensus must be reached, something that is effectively impossible due to the above. End result is either nothing gets done at all, or what gets done is limited to an approach which satisfies the lowest common denominator which, given the underlying conflict, is extremely low.
Both situations are consequences of a sustained period of weak leadership all round. A self-centred short term focus combined with an unwillingness to upset anyone leads to progressively worse options for future decision making as productive capability and output declines, debts increase and critical resources* become scarce.
*Including built things, labour, skills and so on not just physical natural resources, though it includes those too.
Just my thoughts on it all.
Even if your nuclear energy was literally free, that doesn't fix the problem in Australia. Assuming you're referring to Australia given electricity's relatively cheap in most of the US.Blah, blah, blah, usual blathering Smurf -about as much focus on cheap energy..
Fyi Smurf, people have electricity bills to pay!
Your little 'Like' mates on this forum thread ..they don't get it either. Much less care.
You'd be talking nuclear, if you had the slightest notion..

[EventId:202411071405_NRM_NSW1_VIC1_started] NEGRES CONSTRAINT NRM_NSW1_VIC1 started operating from 07 November 2024 14:05
AEMO ELECTRICITY MARKET NOTICE

Power in the company must rest firmly in the hands of its core function. If you are an engineering company, designing and building new technology, power must rest with the engineers. Not sales, not marketing, not accounting. Engineers.
Surprised his copies of Das Kommunistische Manifest and Das Kapital aren't on proud display.Michael West looking forward
Well we have been getting shafted by the Chinese, the change of position should be nice.Tarifs, inflation, etc will be interesting to see how much blowback comes in the iron ore sector and goods generally.
Its possible exports fall (from Oz) but in coming goods (Chinese vehicles) prices fall as well.
Defense and US movements (withdrawal) in the Pacific could leave us exposed big time.
Still Australia will have to...bend over here it comes.... at least for 4 years.

I guess the other issue is, what happens if things improve under Trump? What do you blame for the mess that has happened under the Democrats, if things improve.
As always faithful to the end.Actually the US economy and markets under the Democrats has been quite good the big but is inflation has hurt the lower and middle classes and they are not happy, suspect Trump won't fix that however it will be total chaos under Trump followed by long lists of excuses by the Cult followers.
Ironically the damage done to those demographics was caused by Republican policy but the blame sheeted home to the Democrats (rightly so) for not fixing it.
Just a reminder our problem with the Chinese was started by Morrison
As always faithful to the end.
The problem with coming up with excuses and blaming everyone else is, nothing actually gets done, as everyone is working out.
Yes Albo has fixed up the China issue, they now buy our cray tails, while they screw over our nickel, lithium etc. Priceless.
Remember the nickel and lithium that Albo was going to kick start our battery manufacturing with, funny he talks as much about battery manufacturing as he does about the voice, these days.
Unfortunately the optics are wearing thin on all fronts, as has happened in the U.S.
Copium.Thought this summed up the US future nicely

A question that sits in my mind
Is it possible to hold moral convictions and be a Trump supporter?
And no doubt there would be just as many asking the question of Democrat voters, when they watched Joe on T.V.Thought this summed up the US future nicely

In one of those uncanny moments where art imitates life, a 2015 episode of Simpsons predicted tumps win.
Again.

Hope the other part of the prediction doesn't come true. The country is broke when Lisa takes over.
