Anyone who believes the LNP that Nuclear is an economic option must be brain dead.
Anyone who believes the LNP at all must be brain dead.

For non-Australian, can you explain me why it’s not economic option for Australia? Many other countries such as Korea, US, Pakistan and China seems to be happy with building nuclear. What’s special about Australia?
- No existing nuclear industry. We can't just send the people who built our last nuclear power plant to build another one, we don't have any of those people.
- Massive amounts of space and tons of sun year-round for solar
We do have a huge coal and gas industry looking to pay politicians to slow down the shift away from fossil fuels though, so the party that was trying to build new coal power plants last time they were in power is talking about nuclear while they're in opposition. It isn't about taking action, it's about delaying renewables.
I heard trump was going to sell australia to china
If only. Might actually get some sensible energy infrastructure programs then
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 think you'll find there are numerous comments around Lemmy with this sentiment.
To be fair, it's not everyone on .ml, but damn, it is a lot
And apologies for taking it out on yourself, that wasn't cool of me
No, you won't. You will not find a single one. Not one, not every, not anywhere. It is a lazy straw-man that you have made up. No actual person holds that position and you will not find a single example
And apologies for taking it out on yourself, that wasn’t cool of me
Go back to reddit you fucking dweeb.
Not one, not every, not anywhere.
You have lowered my bar for success, challenge accepted (should I remember the next time I encounter one in the wild).
And jeez, sorry for apologising, I guess?
I don't think it's a straw man to say there are many people out there who look at countries that hold or held the banner of communism or socialism through extremely rose tinted glasses, and many of them are on Lemmy.ml
Annoys me because I'm a socialist (in my eyes) and think these people detrimental to convincing others of socialism's merits.
Anyway, challeng accepted, mr grumpy pants.

Ok. That's not what you claimed. Now you're just lying
And apologies for taking it out on yourself, that wasn’t cool of me
Like I said, go back to reddit you fucking dweeb.
My original comment was exaggerated, but essentially the same.
I haven't been on Reddit in years
You're very grumpy, hope you're going alright mate, I shall leave you to it.
