Is nuclear fission the answer to Australia’s climate crisis or is mixed with the renewables, hydrogen and batteries fusion our saviour ?
The article below "Is nuclear the answer to Australia’s climate crisis?" is incorrect, and it misses the total energy market dynamics and also lines itself with Fission a dying un-commercial energy source as well as not suited to the Australian dynamic environment, size, and population size.
It is an irresponsibly presented document poorly researched, and a falsely flagged unbalanced article.
The reality is this: Renewables are Australia's best and the energy cost to construction and consumers and the only realistic, commercially viable product that can survive without political handouts if managed and invested responsibly.
Fission plants in all their disguises are problematic, need extensive and costly safety controls and legislation to avoid misuse or accidents as well, and need over-engineering to avoid these issues. They need large storage secure facilities to take all types of radiated waste materials and they will need to build more if more fission plants are built.
The other issue with this document is that many of those media or quasi-inter-lecturers are complaining, promoting, or giving false stories of, and proliferating mistruths, and critical information, without giving away which industry they align themselves with.
They seem to not provide an economical, viable path of analysis or plan to achieve their goal. The only confusing thing is the current situation.
On the nuclear side, which nuclear do you want fission or fusion?
The article fails to mention that there are two types of nuclear as they work on the premise that everyone only knows about fission and that it falsely appears available now. That now is incorrect, with the Australian-built submarines, which won't be built for 40 to 50 years in the future. A lot of things can change in that time frame.
So be careful, and have a good think about it and don't let others rush you. As fission plants cannot be on the grid sooner than 50 to 60 years in the future. Currently or in the immediate vicinity is not the suitable time or place for it.
So think about planning to build fusion generators, note their safety, that international nuclear laws do not include fusion, it has no radiological waste so needs no special waste storage in 20 to 30 yrs' time, Australia could build more complete renewable systems, including with Rooftop renewable, industrial renewables, use renewable hydrogen as a variable grid generator to help and batteries till then.
Fusion also may be outside the international nuclear rules as mentioned by the IAEA in its last report as the rules for Non-Proliferation and other rules are all based on Fission as the experts at the time did not envisage that fusion would ever become possible. Like Hon Dutton and Ted Obrien and young William.
As well as the
As it ignores fusion as a non-existent energy. So, very similar and out of touch with their industry, as very much were the original international nuclear fission lawmakers.

The nuclear fission industry is dying. Fission can not compete commercially in variable supply energy systems or with rooftop and industrial renewables. Nor Hydrogen as a grid variable generator and with battery backup and grid stabilizer. Fission cannot compete economically or commercially in an international market. Fission cannot reduce its ever-growing costs, Fission can not compete without high government subsidies, Fission cannot stop producing toxic radiological waste, and Fission cannot stop dumping its liquid waste into oceans and rivers.
Fusion can take all fission employees into its fold, Fusion is the energy source for safe space colonization and propulsion as well as maritime propulsion.
Fusion is a replacement for the Australian submarine project as its propulsion system.
Fusion has no radiological waste and can be placed in metropolitan areas, mines even underground gaseous mines and out to remote settlements reducing the spider web of the grid.
If Australia starts investing, researching and developing. Australia could be an exporter of this energy source anywhere in the world. This means jobs, manufacturing, growth, investment, training opportunities and the list only grows into space and maritime uses.
Bubble-busting the fusion industry is up and going well and worth trillions now. The energy side will arrive in 2025 and commercial demo by 2030 and mature with new technology and materials developing from 2035.
