Here is the total cost of powering Australia with nuclear vs wind or solar renewables according to both ChatGPT and Grok, using the same question based on real-world project costings:
The math is perfect, both AIs can't be wrong?

When I use real-world wind or solar projects to power Australia's need of 250TWh annually, I find it costs trillions.
But with nuclear projects, it's as cheap as $150 billion.
Can you explain that?

In what world is the "cheapest form of energy" renewables? You can pick any major solar/wind project and see it's insanely expensive over time.
You're fooled by capacity factor; solar and wind only provide about ~25% of their rated power on average and need rebuilding every ~25 years.

Terrible misinformation.
Everyone (who doesnt watch ABC media) knows the Barakah nuclear power plant was built in the United Arab Emirates by South Korea and had no problem finding staff to operate it.
The first unit started operation 8 years after construction began en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Barakah...

That's because they aren't using real world data to do the math to create 250TWh via renewables annually.
The math is incredibly simple if you just take a 60 seconds to look at it.
Here is the Wikipedia link to Topaz Solar Farm that is a summary of it's data. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Topaz_S...

That's bc they aren't using real world math to reach 250TWh annually.
Topaz_solar_farm_1.20_TWh_year x 208 = ~250TWh
Topaz_solar_farm_$2.4 billion x 208 = ~$500 bln
3 x $500_bln_rebuilds_to_match_60year_life_of☢️ = $1.5 Trillion
T_solar_farm_25 km² x 208 = ~5,200 km²

Yes, I have actually done these sums years ago manually.
Now I can just ask the LATEST AI models (o1 model) and it does a perfect accurate math job.
U can go through the data and do the quite simple arithmetic yourself.
All the costs, size, TWh is verifiable via Wikipedia

Here are the costs to power Australia via renewables or nuclear. All calculated using the latest AI model, with simple math for you to check.
Copy and paste the question into the o1 model to see the detailed math yourself!

Asking chatGPT the unbiased question of how much it will cost to power Australia with "renewables vs nuclear using real world projects costs" gives a remarkable answer.
It really does take about 6,000km2 of solar panels to generate Australia's 265TWh annual usage.

Pyne isn't an expert, here is the economics of nuclear in Australia using one of the most expensive power stations ever built in history, the Hinkley Point C nuclear power station.

Coal fired power station? The LNP are promising nuclear power.
Here are the costings! Look at it in detail, much cheaper than renewables.🤔

Just ask AI the simple unbiased question of how much it will cost to power Australia via renewables or nuclear using real world projects costings to get the most realistic answer. chatgpt.com/share/67779e...
