Now, I don't love that both the "100%" VRE and nuclear+VRE scenarios include burning stuff, especially biomass, but the 43% nuclear scenario includes burning less stuff.

I'm assuming we want low-carbon electricity that is reliable every day in an industrialised grid.

There is no justification given as to why a 100% renewables system is preferable to a nuclear + renewables system, which is generally found to be cheaper than 100% renewable when studied, but whatever, I hope they're right and we need to build more renewables quicker than ever before in any case.

I think it's good and necessary to spend public money on decarbonisation (especially for countries that got rich off burning fossil fuels).

Wow, weird that they just copy-pasted a university post (www.lut.fi/en/news/rese...). Or maybe not weird, seeing as the Helsinki Times appears to be an AI-generated skin for online gambling. Of course, this doesn't invalidate the message, let me look at the LUT post.
Researchers agree: The world can reach a 100% renewable energy system before 2050 | LUT University
Research from LUT University and 14 additional leading international universities suggest that the new system would be based largely on solar and wind energy, energy storage, sector coupling, and direct and indirect electrification of almost all energy de

That sentence ends: "... as in all other aspects of industrial society."
Public funding is how we get rooftop solar and home battery subsidies, Rewiring the Nation, the Capacity Investment Scheme, a stake in Snowy 2.0, the $2 billion Hydrogen Headstart Program... Risk of paying those costs is 100%.

We can’t wait! We need so much clean energy and different properties are a plus. 300% electricity just to decarbonise transport and industry. Then exports. I think I might be underestimating it if I say it gets exponentially harder to decarbonise with wind and solar as their percentage increases.

Oh dear, does Nuclear Risk Insurers know that?

Yet, wind & solar need similar or a little more mining per watt-hour. Aus can only do more hydro for storage — not to be sneezed at, but needs to be paired with generation. I’d happily live near a nuclear power plant (& its used fuel). Climate change is what scares me. I don’t get paid by WePlanet.

Ah, I see why your opinion on nuclear is different to mine, we’re working with very different information. I’ve found that nuclear has the lowest environmental impact of any fuel source, since it needs the least mining and has the lowest carbon emissions. Also as safe as wind and solar.

Thanks, but I’m interested to know why “Comms Declare” thinks clean energy material is worse than fossil fuel material.

Press should be reporting accordingly. This whole "X countries support A roadmap" is just bad journalism. So far, "X countries supporting CREATING a roadmap". Whether they'll support and approve one in the next days is another story. Including if it's a roadmap at all.

Can you access the meter to check? We got a bill that said it was an actual read, but it was actually (grossly over-)estimated.
