Small modular nuclear reactors: a history of failure by Dr Jim Green | Jan 17, 2024
Context: Australian conservative Liberal and National Parties will take a pro-nuclear power policy to the next Australian election as the large part to their climate policy, including advocacy for Small Modular Reactors (SMRs).
Green itemises the history of failure and massive cost and construction time over-runs in SMRs and current western conventional nuclear power construction.

🌅 Good morning.
New #research from Consumer Reports offers a rare look into the scope of Meta's online surveillance.
It goes way beyond what most may expect—Meta can know many of the websites you visit and even what you’re doing IRL.

The wrongful dismissal case against the ABC of Antionette Lattouf is gathering momentum - and so it should.
She’s done nothing wrong but speak the truth - and the ABC has buckled to outside interference from Israeli political influence to ‘sack her’.
This is an outrageous decision by ABC management in trying to silence the truth where it is badly needed to shine a light on the crimes of Israel’s govt
"Freed immigration detainee sues Australian government for damages for alleged false imprisonment"
Good.
Both Liberal and Labor have been all-in when it comes to offshore concentration camps and constantly trying to one-up the other in horrible treatment of LEGAL asylum seekers. Seeing an ex-detainee do this makes me happy. #AusPol
Now would be a good time to cancel #AUKUS and ally ourselves with a less moronic country

For the last 2 nights on #abcnews in qld the woolies attacker has been mentioned, both times alleged his attack was in response to woollies not stocking #AustraliaDay crap, with no mention of failing demand for the products, and no mention of provocation from #Dutton.
Why not? Every other time Dutton blurts something out they run what he said. Why not this time?
I think we know why, and it’s an outrage.
The ABC has become politicised through unmeritorious stacking of #LNP arse suckers. A #morrison legacy.
Brotherhood of St Laurence charity refuses to take further work-for-the-dole 'volunteers' saying it, 'Pushes people into even greater hardship.'
If ABC (Australia) staff don’t go on strike they’re just accepting more of the same from management.
The staff need to lead. It’s time.
In which planet has Albanese been living?
Which 'political solution' can Australia achieve against Israel's determination to erase Palestinians????
He's a joke.
Dutton is even worse.
"Anthony Albanese has suggested court cases will not help achieve peace between Israel and Palestine, declaring that the Australian government won’t participate in International court of justice (ICJ) proceedings initiated by South Africa."
A bunch of #unaustralian losers seeking to divide our nation for their own personal gains. Let’s hear it for the #conservatives

21:30 - "Genocides are never declared in advance, but this Court has the benefit of the past 13 weeks of evidence that shows incontrovertibly a pattern of conduct and related intention that justifies a plausible claim of genocidal acts."

46,000 homeless people in Qld is an utter disgrace. Stop encouraging rampant consumption & population growth - small is beautiful, while white supremacist, patriarchal capitalism creates environmental destruction & suffering. https://abc.net.au/news/2023-03-20/queensland-homelessness-up-22-per-cent/102113366 #auspol
For the second time in five years, millions of fish suffocated in the Darling River. This was not a natural disaster – it’s our doing.
Here are the factors that led to mass fish death and why the Darling is in trouble:

First, they came for the journalists, and I didn’t speak out, for I was not a journalist.
We don’t know what happened next. Nobody was reporting it.
