The press conference is currently still live so this was the best short video I could find on the topic.

To begin, I'm absolutely against this proposal, but I want to see a discussion - hopefully a constructive one - between Aussies (comments are always turned off for Australian news on YT) to gauge some idea of how people generally feel about the idea.

Fire off.

By the time these are built, you'll have hugely cheap and efficient batteries and solar panels.. Even solar windows and roof tiles

Furthermore, nuclear is expensive anyway, so everyone will still get solar and undercut it. Day #1 of Game theory. In fact, similar to NBN, there is a very real chance solar companies will spring up and undercut it, so we have another lib NBN.

Finally, why would anyone want a centralised power grid which is operated and run by a single company.

It's a stupid idea.
