We can't believe we're posting this again...

But for anyone who needs a reminder, nuclear power is not the answer for Australia. Nuclear is twice the cost, decades away, and we’d already be at 96% renewables before a single reactor could be built.

So let’s stick with what’s already working to deliver reliable, affordable power: renewables backed by storage.

Will they revisit nuclear in their desperate bid to regain votes?

Possibly – they do not seem to have learned anything about what the Australian elect actually want.

One year ago, Australians firmly rejected the Coalition's toxic nuclear fantasy in favour of a renewable future.

The latest World Nuclear Industry Status Report has crunched the numbers to show that 2025 was another underwhelming year for nuclear power.
Dramatic drop in number of countries building reactors

According to this article in Renew Economy, the number of countries building power reactors has fallen off a cliff. WNISR-2026 notes:
“The number of building countries declined by almost one third, from 16 to 11, in just two years, with several countries having completed their last construction project (France, United Arab Emirates, United States), or suspended if not terminated construction (Argentina, Brazil, Japan), while only one country was added to the list (Pakistan).

Despite the hype from the nuclear industry and its boosters, the latest status report shows that its renaissance remains a mirage, and reactor numbers are falling.

This is the true story, not the fantasy…

Ontario utility asks regulator to double the price it is paid for nuclear power - to the equivalent of $A222/MWh - to cover the costs of new reactors and upkeep.

Renewable energy is vastly cheaper and safer than and coal and nuclear. It is reliable and it is available – here and now.

Even if nuclear was safe and affordable – which it is not – it would take a minimum of 20 years to be useful.
