New report skewers Coalition’s contentious nuclear plan – and reignites Australia’s energy debate (theconversation.com)

The report’s central conclusions – rejected by the Coalition – are relatively unsurprising. It found nuclear power would be far more expensive than the projected path of shifting to mostly renewable energy. And delivering nuclear generation before the mid-2040s will be extremely challenging.

I'm still really unsure why some socialists have decided that because China carries the flag of socialism, that it means they're automatically good at everything, ever. And everything bad about it is western propaganda.

I'm a socialist, hell, I even like China in many regards, much more than many of my fellow Australians.

But damn, why so many people on Lemmy.ml stanning for them? Makes no sense.

That being said, much of the infrastructure they have, is indeed nice (all the massive amounts of coal we sell them, notwithstanding).

But there are a bunch of inefficiencies and issues.

Ya know, like any other country.

China isn't a utopia, it's a place, with good and bad points.

No one thinks this. It's a lazy straw-man. And I'm fairly sure you know that.

i thought china had bad air quality

Mainly due to the density of the population.

The Australian population is quite sparse, mainly because we never got our Multifunction Polis.

Mostly due to the industrial pollution actually. People don't magically generate smog from our bodies.
