Yeah, I really struggle to understand it. No-one in the energy industry supports nuclear as far as I can tell and yet people can’t see that the Nationals are pushing it as a way to avoid actually doing anything about climate. It’s like the Nationals want to make themselves irrelevant by intentionally (through stupidity, willful ignorance or sheer disingenuousness) harming their constituents.
Honestly I think it’s simply that “nuclear” is a one-word solution to a complex problem that doesn’t require anyone to interrupt their view of the rolling landscape with a noisy turbine. If you start there then you can build up a narrative around how nuclear is the only sensible solution but it’s still just vibe-based reasoning.
