    Not likely. I see a flat Tesla he's on his own. Unless of course he pays for the diesel he'd need to get the thing going again. And that's the thing, isn't it? He'll need fossil fuelled electricity to charge it no matter where he is. Even if he can plug into "green" energy China use our coal to make solar panels and wind turbines.

    China is also likely to be building more Nuclear power that exists in the entire world today John.

    Edit- From LOTUS resources today on China Nuclear "Continues to grow at a rapid rate • Targeting an additional 150 new large nuclear reactors by 2035 (49 as of today) • Significant reduction in construction time ~ 5 years • On track to be largest consumer by 2030 "

    That is of u308 of course

    Did you mean you may flatten a Tesla Just kidding. Add at $2 per litre it would not be cheap to recharge at all mate.

    As far as I'm concerned the sooner this country gets its head out of the Green sand and builds nukes the better. Then there would be no 'perceived' need to blight the landscape with bloody great fans and mirrors simply to virtue signal. But Governments of any stripe like limelight, not achievements. They know they will be gone before any nuke got completed and there would be no "pat on the back" grandstanding.

    BTW James, would you consider that U, the metal you love investing in, could be, at a stretch, considered a fossil fuel? Everything on this planet was on fire once if you go back far enough...

    Ahhh Tins , you know that fossil fuel has outdated itself , leaving the power generators what alternative? Solar....in several modes , Wind , Pumped Hydro , Thermal (stored) and Battery to close down the old "rotating base load" argument. There are other forms of alternative power being used around the world where it is practical.


    Seriously , if nuclear power had a chance in Australia , the money would be being spent here.

    The reason for the lack of nuclear power generation in this country is political, not economical. Nuclear plant construction was banned by all States, and Federally, for reasons I'm not going to debate as i'm enjoying being back here and don't want any problems with the admin. But if the bans were lifted companies would be fighting to get the rights.

    I remember on one of Geoffrey Robertson's Hypotheticals, one of the panellists was the then NT Chief Minister. When asked, something along the lines of "what would you do in the NT?". The answer was swift, "build nuclear power plants and sell electricity to the rest of the country".

    This was probably 15-20 years ago at least.

    May have been hypothetical, but they couldn't do it anyway..... because.... politics. However, the way he answered in a heart beat indicated he would've if he could've.
