The depressing thing in all of the “debate” over nuclear is the continual reinfrocement of the sheer utter stupidity of the average voter. I have no answer for this aside from acceptance.
You’d think a suggestion like this would be laughed at, it’s as meaningfull as suggesting we use Quolls on hamster wheels. You’d expet a little mirth and zero votes going to the LNP as the outcome for such utter stupidity and Dutton working as a school crossing guard going foward.
The depressing part is the reminder that he’s a contender for the Prime Minister of Australia and shows Juvenal was as right 2000 yrs ago as Horne was in the '70s.
The article is back:

Fantastic, this is why I posted, thanks.
Article url and archive link pls

Don’t be like that. It’s unhelpful and nasty.

That wasn’t a suggestion.
Now, go to your room and think about what you’ve done. You’re grounded for a week.
It’s literally a removed article. What the fuck are you talking about?

you make claims? you bring evidence. The onus is on your not someone questioning you.
That’s nice.
Be nice to know why?
AI slop maybe?
Don’t know. I actually posted it lastnight then realised myself. Maybe there was some kind of inaccuracy.
🤣 lol
There is never not enough water for nuclear power when you’re near the ocean
What an asinine point to make ? Its like saying everywhere is close to the ocean so no one needs to worry about drought. (Pipleines, pumps and desal plants and the massive enviomental, resource cost and waste be dammed)
Then theres the issue of sea level rise for what seems like millenia to come impacting infrastructure all around the planet.
ocean water can cause problems because of the salt and outputting too hot water can be bad for the marine ecosystem near it. plus, power plants near the ocean can be damaged by tsunamis.
That makes sense, hopefully they correct whatever caused them to take down the article!
Thankfully there’s not many tsunamis in Australia, particularly on the east coast. But yes salt water plays havock with traditional water infrastructure and thermal pollution is a often overlooked issue.
Oil barons have managed to get millions of miles of oil trough a tube, I’m sure we can pull the same thing with water. It would also be handy if we could get that to houses
sounds like political pressure 😠
