If nuclear was so brilliant the private sector would have done it already. They haven't because the cost far outweighs the benefit.
And as far taxpayer intervention goes to prop it up I just don't see any compelling evidence to suggest investment in nuclear will give you better bang for your buck than renewables.
In some countries without much wind, sun and waves nuclear might make sense provided they could cheaply get uranium and dispose waste cheaply. That's not Australia and we have options.
Not taking sides here, but the private sector couldn't have done it because laws specifically prevent them.
No, you'll definitely get bang with nuclear 💥💥💥
Lol ba boom! ching!
