    Consideration does not imply pursuit.

    There are lots of options to consider. Some better than others.

    I still reckon gas fired plants as interim solution are worth looking at.

    You have a car dealership ?
    By all means get a Defender. If you get a good one, you'll be happy. If you get a bad one, you'll become a philosopher.

    As we will soon be the largest exporter of LNG in the world, it should be obvious to all, that we won't be able to afford gas-fired electrical generation. Our far-sighted pollies have sold off our future production to pad out their budget projections for the next few dozen electoral cycles!

    I've just been doing some reading on one website about nuclear waste. They mentioned that most power plants only use around 5% of the energy in uranium fuel and that's around 3 years in service. After this the fuel is considered waste even though it has capacity to fuel reactors for longer. The waste could be reused to fuel reactors, but they are a different type to the normal nuke power plant. Different reactors could pull 95% of the energy out of the fuel - but I did find an interesting comment that the US banned this sort of use at the height of the cold war as plutonium is a key ingredient in nuclear weapons.

    I seems using more of the fuels energy is still very uncommon.

    I voted no for the poll. I think nuclear power has its benefits, but at the current moment the issue of waste and decommissioning make it a no - and that's without even considering a worst case malfunction. Nothing is unsolvable however and I'm sure with a decent nuclear weapons program we could find a use for that plutonium as well
