Welcome to our first HGA of 2025. It's not about nuclear energy per se, which makes sense in some countries, but about the Coalition's nuclear plan for Australia, which is also not about nuclear energy, but about propping coal and gas for another 2 decades using *your money*.

It's weird how some people pick their political party like it's a sports team. No matter how bad they are they stick with them to the bitter end, cheering for own-goals.

Every time she pulls out the calculator my brain immediately goes *”FUCK ALL”* 😂

[ThePsiclone]

I think my bank manager has that same calculator when he calls me in to talk about what's in my account.

"The cooked bit isn't the 'nuclear' bit, it's the 'our [...] plan' bit"
Beautiful, absolutely sums it up in one glorious sentence!

[ansonchan]

as an australian, we take fucking forever to build anything

[PhysicsCaptain]

Where can I buy a calculator that only ever displays “FUCK ALL”?

[stoepsi]

OK. I admit, I didn't even see the connection between nuclear and fossil (keep everything running until the new and shiny reactors are here). Thank you for pointing that out. Makes a lotta sense to me.

[Juleswebster]

Thanks for not demonising the technology itself, and focusing on the real issue!

Love that you've put the sources in the comments!

“The party that couldn’t build car parks” haha hilarious

[iaitken]

Spectacular. As an engineer who knows rather a lot about this subject, it is so lovely to see a funny video full of facts and accuracy. This is 100% correct. Love it. Please keep it up

[miniveedub]

The party that told us they could give us a cheaper, better NBN. The party behind Snowy 2.0. The party that couldn’t build a carpark. And now they’re trying to sell us this nuclear plan? Yeah, right.

Even though I'm not Australian or have ever been to Australia, I just wanted to tell you: This is brilliant content! Right now, when democracy is under attack everywhere, it just feels really good to see people standing up for what's right. Thank you so much for everything you do and please continue doing it!

[InformatrIIcks]

I am an engineer, that worked in both the French and "Australian" nuclear industry.

Yes, Australia has a "nuclear industry". But I had to put quotations marks because it's nowhere near ready to take on the task of civil nuclear.

Having seen the good and the bad of nuclear, I'm a firm believer in the tech. But it just ain't right for Australia... Or at least it was like 30-40 years ago.

(Good luck with the nuclear submarines as well, if you ever receive them...)

The juicy media shop lacking a "fuck all" calculator is a huge oversight.

1:05 important to note, those are the plants that were actually completed. Quite a few, even in the UK, were half built, for billions and then abandoned, because the cost overruns were too big.

[davecrashes]

I worked in US commercial nuclear power my entire adult life. They're amazingly safe and amazingly expensive. One thing the HGA left out is the cost of regulation, because you'll need a government agency to oversee construction and operation.

[scottlymbery]

LNP gave us the 82nd fastest internet in the world, do we really want the 82nd best Nuclear power system?

[nosidenoside]

nuclear power is actually really good, without any real downsides aside from cost. It's expensive to put up, and you have to get it recertified every 10 years (i think) but then it's essentially nonstop free and reliable energy for decades. Im kind of surprised that Australia doesn't have nuclear.

Kinda sad that it's being used like this, by a totally not corrupt party with surely no ties to massive coal and oil companies.
