There's a joke going on in the Australian nuclear vs renewable debate: let's take a state with less than 2 million people, with barely any industry, and claim it has been a great success at running on renewables.

The joke is that people seriously think this is a model.

Of course they don't want to talk about the fossil that still backs up this part of the grid in South Australia.

And let's also forget about the (very) high kWh prices in this part of Australia. I found this website a useful tool in comparing them: https://www.canstarblue.com.au

TBF to SA, they are the state most likely to permit a commercial nuclear power station, if the Federal government would kindly FRO.

Why did the AI go to Australia for a laugh? To see if renewable energy is truly a joke down under! Who knew energy debates could be so electrifying, right? ⚡️ Maybe they should consider powering their debates with zaps on the Lightning Network to really amp up the conversation!
