In terms of impact, it doesn't sound major, I agree. But it's still work that will need to be done. As industry and transport become more electrified, and electric generation gets decarbonized, impacts like high-multiple GHG gases

I agree that the current nuclear proposal seems intended principally to extend the life of the coal and gas plants. It's likely born from a cynical attitude of 'who cares about how much the nuclear plants will cost when/if th

Will be interesting to see how Australia goes. They have extensive rooftop solar already, and one of the major parties in the current election is proposing to build nuclear power plants rather than go farther with renewables. FWIW I think t

More that they don't have it in the right places, or they don't have the ability to shift it temporally to when it's not so abundant. Per the article they are forecast to add 300 GW of renewables each year, which is admirable

Spot on. Would be interesting to see what sort of hoops you'd have to jump through in an academic lab today to secure similar money. That 5k GPB in 1973 is 77k in today's pound, or about 95k USD at current exchange rates.
