Australia should be the wealthiest country in the world, but we are governed by totally incompetent and clueless fools. China has approved another 10 nuclear power stations at a total cost of US$27 billion (~A$38 billion). They will generate around 12,000 MW of electricity 24/7 for the Chinese economy. In contrast, Australia is spending $42 billion on Snowy 2.0. which generates zero electricity. In fact, it destroys energy, because the electricity used to pump the water uphill is around 40% more than the electricity it produces when the water is released to spin the turbines. Even then, on an intermittent basis, Snowy 2.0 can only deliver a maximum of 2,000 MW. If we keep this up, China is going to own us. The decisions being made today by totally incompetent fools like Bowen and Albanese — with their Net Zero obsession — will impoverish future generations of Australians.
