France are planning 14 more nuclear reactors by 2050 according to Macron.France has no oil, no gas and no coal and wants to close it's remaining fossil fuel burning plants.
Australia would need about 25 reactors and they take around 10 -15 years to build.
You need plenty of water and they need to be near consumers so that's building around the coast plus you need foreign investment from companies and the reality is that will come from China etc who already have a strong ownership in our distribution network.
Can't see any Government making the nuke call in Aus and risking the backlash in the short to medium term.
Need to put on the big boy pants, grow some balls and get on with it.
