Given some #Greens have screamed "Science is right!" at me today, despite my not having said it's wrong, nor espoused such personally, (some here know me and know this)
Well I've some science they can adopt if they're keen, why doesn't Oz adopt a couple of very smaller and safe 4th generation nuclear power stations and sack the coal'n'gas.
Here's the science and financial #rationale for same.

Do note that 'Australia' is listed as one of the 'Advanced Economies' group referred to.. in the foot notes of this report.
A "once off" a pair of these stations for 'Base' load, could decom all the carbon based generation. period.
This would remove the heavy 'Carbon' cycle faster and give more time to develop capacity and truly do Wind Tidal and Solar solutions with excellence, to their required levels, then do away with the reactor pair in the long run, and build no more?
It's #Scientifically sound, if financially difficult path. File it under #quityerbitchin ?
