Remember also that you can't just bury the radioactive wastes or tip them down a mine and walk away. They could poison the water table and everyone who drinks that water, as well as food crops and nature. The potential real costs are so huge that they can't even be insured.
    Basics like energy and water shouldn’t be profitable.

    That’s half the problem with this world.

    Now that's a left aligned sentence :-)

    There are those that think water should be profitable and made into a saleable commodity where the whoever pays the most gets to use it. Think "Murray Darling Basin Plan" and water traders that don't own any land. Anyways let's not open that can or worms here :-)

    All good Mike, I’m not aligned to any party or specific ideology. In this case I just believe these 2 resources and how they are provided to the population are almost a no-brainer.

    im with you on this.

    public utilities: water, power, possibly internet, defense.
    most of the discussion is where to draw the line. healthcare? universal basic income? schooling? etc etc

    Rather than putting our rubbish in big holes then burning coal, why not just burn the rubbish instead ? Just a thought.

    It’s been looked at - I also worked on a project of using biomass to produce steel.

    Very interesting stuff...

    And it’s viable to a degree. Not to the scale of significant power production though.

    Luddites to science- We are in now

    Australia to acquire nuclear submarine fleet as part of historic deal with US and UK to counter China'''s influence - ABC News

    Australia to acquire nuclear submarine fleet in historic deal with US and UK

    Suspected the German hydrogen might - got it wrong. The very cool O boats I knew and had kill me again and again ( In exercises) are gone. A Boat that can circumnavigate Australia underwater is clearly a lot smarter than a smelly old oil burner.

    A lot of Anti Nuclear weapons types will be concerned. I share concerns with N weapons. I love Nuclear power with of course a caveat that nuclear waste must be considered and dealt with. Oddly this just might put me in a Hydrogen truck.

    I have been overweight in my silly investment in this sphere for several years. Now for the first time I have been green plus some big margin. Nice to have to consider some big tax payments now
