Dumbass , you should have been at the
Karen Rolton Oval , everyone knows where that is !
Oh well you probably finished your 6 pack, before you left?

had a goon (a cask we call it) of quality riverland white.

And then you walked back to your hotel room and watched it on TV . right?

Thought there was a game of foosball on at the Oval? The boo machine was up and running so you must have been too early.

I'm still at Adelaide Oval. A bunch of Crows fans have been trickling in since yesterday. Just sitting there staring straight ahead expectantly.. kinda creepy.
I fell asleep about midday, just woke up. Everyone has gone.
There's one bloke still here with a Crows scarf and a big smile on his face..
I might go, I think.

Don't want to ruin it for you but the Crows won. Picked over the carcass of the kangaroos.

"As of 2024, you can find operating modular nuclear reactors, specifically Small Modular Reactors (SMRs), in Russia (Akademik Lomonosov, a floating nuclear power plant) and China (HTR-PM and LingLong One reactors).

Here's a more detailed breakdown:
Russia:
The floating nuclear power plant "Akademik Lomonosov" has been operating commercially in Russia's Far East (Pevek) since 2020.
It uses two 35 MW(e) SMRs.
China:
China has successfully built and operates SMRs, including the HTR-PM and LingLong One reactors. "

And then much more under development

"As of 2024, only China and Russia have successfully built operational SMRs. There are more than 80 modular reactor designs under development in 19 countries. Russia has been operating a floating nuclear power plant Akademik Lomonosov, in Russia's Far East (Pevek), commercially since 2020."

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Small_modular_reactor#:~:text=As%20of%2020...)%2C%20commercially%20since%202020.

Given Australia consumes 270 Terawatts of electricity, how many thousand 35MW SMR's do we need???

All of the so called positive logic that’s been posted regarding nuclear power is utter garbage.
How about the first thing you think about is where is the waste going to end up and then start your rationales in the other direction about how can we or can’t we.
Until someone can give me a fool proof way of disposing of radioactive material, it’s really all just a bit of hot air coming out of your mouth and with no sort of scientific logic or reasoning.
Sequestration of waste will only become societies major head ache in the future.

We are the worse species on the planet, we drain river deltas and lakes, we divert rivers and other watercourses , we dam major rivers, we use the ocean as a supermarket and a rubbish tip, we’ve reduced school fish to a mere existence, we’ve incorporated plastics into biological and geological entities, we’ve polluted all levels of our atmosphere, we foolishly want to set up life on other planets, we are melting ice caps, extinction rates are at extremes, ….and you want to generate nuclear power from radioactive materials, …surely enough is enough.

How about we think about all the other living species on earth, they’ve a right to an existence also. Fed up with short term planning and short memories. AW

Hi AW!!

Dutton can't find any takers to site his Reactors, and I would guess waste disposal has not even crossed his mind.

Nuclear, as power generation method, was banned under Howard in 1998. Given the implications of burning coal, this left wind/solar/storage as the only viable options. While the ALP have gone hard to increase renewable energy, the LNP have made no real effort to promote it, and at times working against it.

Now 25 years down the track, with renewables supplying around 40% of demand, Dutton thinks its a good idea to put it on hold for 20 years, and keep the coal fired generators going (at substantial expense) while we wait for nuclear to appear in a form (SMR's), that does not exist at the required size and at an undefined cost.

Nuclear power here will never happen.

BTW, I worked in waste disposal for a few years and there are enough problems with that at the moment without bringing nuclear into the mix!!!!

Cheers.

The only reason Govts roll & stall Nuke Power Plants is to bill customers for Defence / Big Tech Donors

"Secret US Base Found in Greenland" is an interesting watch with a coffee ^
bastards even radiated antarctica.. just reading the grist and guardian articles now @tbb.
gotta say, it explains a lot (lotsa 'raw earth' ; ) but I still think trump is spitballing to distract.
Just like the Putin/Zelensky thing this morning, the more confusing he can be in big stuff,
the more he can squirrel away at his dirty little antics with the legal profession and courts.

haha, super 6 'toon is a crack up @tbb, hadn't seen it.
before super 6, there was surfside 6.

Hi AW!!

Dutton can't find any takers to site his Reactors, and I would guess waste disposal has not even crossed his mind.

Nuclear, as power generation method, was banned under Howard in 1998. Given the implications of burning coal, this left wind/solar/storage as the only viable options. While the ALP have gone hard to increase renewable energy, the LNP have made no real effort to promote it, and at times working against it.

Now 25 years down the track, with renewables supplying around 40% of demand, Dutton thinks its a good idea to put it on hold for 20 years, and keep the coal fired generators going (at substantial expense) while we wait for nuclear to appear in a form (SMR's), that does not exist at the required size and at an undefined cost.

Nuclear power here will never happen.

BTW, I worked in waste disposal for a few years and there are enough problems with that at the moment without bringing nuclear into the mix!!!!

Cheers.

A Salty Dog. Hi mate, hope you’re doing well.

Agree with you there.
I personally think it’s just so easy to say , oh well let’s go for a nuclear energy program as a solution, sounds good out of the mouth , but really, how much thought has gone into that statement, basically none.

One needs to sit and contemplate all of the components that would make up a program, from human resources to extracting uranium, who funds it, who owns it, where would it be located, what landscape , how is the uranium transported, via what routes, what towns, what’s the construction time frame, how much energy would it provide, who gets the energy, who gets the waste and where does it go ?

The mitigating circumstances are endless.

What is the lifespan of the reactor, who works at the facility, what’s the emergency plan if there is a disaster ?
Does an Australian reactor have a hypothetical target on it from unfriendly or non-alliance neighbours?

It’s just a generational cop out from an ex drug cop, who seems to be incredibly wealthy for someone who was just a public servant, I smell a rat, a dirty big bald one with bad breath from using shit toothpaste. AW

We can’t even clean the rubbish from our roads and suburbs but we will manage nuclear waste? Give me a break. It will end up costing x4-5 times to whatever they quote.

They should be pitching bottle collection fee increase or whatever you call it. It’s still 10 cents and I can see that many can’t be bothered. Make it 20-30 cents so we can ramp up the cleanup.

Ok! Think tbb has solved the Chinese Riddle...
Here's what's going down...

Any child knows Govt needs extra bucks by desperately extending larger Offshore Oil & Gas Leases.
This is the reason why Govt pushes the Wind farms further offshore...

Now...Big Problem...What to do with all our inshore Telco Cables that are gonna get blown to bits...

Massive cost to shift our Cable network further into deeper more safer / secure ocean perimeter.

That's where these weird bossy Chinese Research Fleet/s come into play...
Notice all these Chinese Ships are specialized with plenty of Radar / Sonar / Subs!
By researching & Plotting deeper Trenches they can lay bigger safer Oz Cabling Network.
Notice the Round shape & Cable Stay of that Research Ship...that's what it does...

If ya trace the recent Route it lays out a Makeshift Telco cable to dissect Otway Basin Leases...
So...are we all on the same page here...It's not permanent > just allows the big boys to bomb shit!
All our former cables are in the way of Govt Offshore Oil Gas Leases...they gotta go...NOW!
Our cabling is holding up the Big Boys...It's all cobweb history...Gonna get splattered...

Now see that ultra wide economic Plotting Course the Chinese just did...
That's Oz new Telco Network outside of Valuable Shallow Basin precious Stronghold EEZ Leaseholds.
Ya see...any here know...every inch of our EEZ will be sold & Raked then Carpet Bombed & minced up.
Won't be a seahorse left....all worth mega bucks...sell every fucking inch ya can...Fuck them sea critters!
Think about it...no other country can tap such a vast perimeter...Oz will own this massive market...
None expect this to stay pristine...going going gone to any fat cat....Kaboom!

tbb will get back to this...Only an intro Ok!
Basically only the Chinese can and are laying Bigger Deeper Cable Worldwide.
Masters at it...tbb has reviewed all their Ships / gear...coming on real fast...well advanced of others!
All this other lightweight inshore Xmas decoration shit is gonna get Scrapped & pulled out by shipping...
Only the Chinese can & will secure Deep Sea Chunky AI Tech Cabling for Silicone 6 Supa heroes.
They actually head up new world next level AI defence...Like the Thunderbirds...We'll save your AI.

Big Continent Oz is getting in early before an even longer cue forms as AI rules the Oceans
Chinese will do our Oz grid for free if Albo swings them Deeper Trench cabling to end of the Earth.
Research ship/s have basically charted Oz / Chinese / Pacific- Antarctic Route via NZ trenches!
Yes...that's wot that ship has been doing with Plenty of Eurotrash Backers...
Massive N<>S trench from Equator to end of Earth..perfect for Chinese Deepest most secure AI cable!
They don't need or want our shitty strands of Spaghetti...that can't please New Order AI Technocrats.
So we're getting heaps more Cable power in Deeper Ocean for letting China link Antarctica via NZ.

Again...this is only an intro...tbb has checked all the Chinese plotted Oz cable routes...
They all trace our Big Bully boys Gassy Expansion...
So each of these Chinese Stops or Routes mark our new deeper AI Oz cabling network..
This is Why Albo is keeping his AI race circuit a secret...don't let Dutto in on the game...Shh!
All the big players know what's going down & keep mum about it!
Ya never heard it here...Ok!
Crew / Govt know tbb is a mental outpatient and this another of his half baked conspiracy Theories...
How could this be true...just coz all the dots & timing line up...don't mean shit hey!

Yes! The shots over the Bow...
Oz is letting China test their Sub Radar...part of the deal to score free deeper better cable...Got it!
As the Radar is defensive...it's not deemed War like > or aggressive like Missile / Rocket Testing.
It will advantage China but they can't attack Oz with it...so Oz sees it as a trade off risk for a free AI loop.

Mostly a sell out & clear the fuck outta our EEZ for the Big Boys to carpet bomb our Shorelines.
Like Oil bosses will just Nuke it for massive ventures...Thanks Mate...looks great...Fuck Yeah!

Things are moving on at a much faster pace & Oz is getting re-wired for AI New World order.
Gonna need bigger cables in deeper secured trenches...China can & are doing that right now!
Happy to share what Oz Pollies & Big Corps aren't telling ya...Media are up to speed...Right!
Blow the Campaign right open...like who here believes that....just go back to sleep!
Sorry if tbb upset anyone...but none will repeat a word of this outside of NFE ...Why would they?

PS : In case any think tbb simply dreams this shit up...Nope!
Again...tbb can research all this for years & has done...but it comes on organic...just as ya read here...
Ya can't make this shit up...not when it starts oozing out like this...all clearly see that now...ya better run!

Such a simple idea. Just build the cost into the product and it's a win win. The consumer pays for the clean up and the collector gets the reward. It funded my pinball career when I was a kid.

“ The biggest advantage of extremism is that it makes you feel good… because it provides you with enemies.

The great thing about having enemies is that you can pretend that all the badness in the whole world is in your enemies, and all the goodness in the whole world is in you.

Attractive, isn’t it ?! “

Try a translator.
It’s all about the faces, the looks…

I’ve been anti nuclear all my life….
I went in all the marches in the 1970’s….got photographed by the spooks etc etc.
I think if people wish to guzzle the amount of power they use these days and keep the air clean…..we may have to look at it ….and I think some have looked harder than others…
The new modular reactors are impressive with what they put out for their size.
They also don’t need to be near water anymore…
They pump out gigawatts not mega.
I was also interested to learn that all the nuclear waste generated from all the U.S. reactors from way back in the 1950’s until now would fit in a football field and 30 ft deep.
They the new ones , are not as expensive as some say and last 60 years.
They also come ready made in a package.
Many recycle their own waste.
All nuclear waste is dry pellets ( not like the simpsons) and stored in Pyrex and stainless steel.
I can’t help but wonder where all the giant lithium house batteries are going to go when done……and let’s not forget they are mostly made in China and will not last.
I know this from experience with their inverters etc etc.
If the libs can provide cheap electricity for home and business run once again by govts of all persuasions may be it is the go after all.
Keeping an open mind.

that sure does seem attractive jellyman...

to you

slowly - reluctantly - revealing your teenage girl utopian dreams...

and enemies

it is all about the faces

the faces reveal a political class and machine that has essentially made themselves unanswerable

and these little person squeaking voices - finally - making themselves heard reveal a machine too scared to face the people

terrified in fact

Maybe It's The Go, After All.
(lyrics by @Opti)

"I went in all the marches in the 70’s
got photographed by the spooks
but I think if people wish to guzzle power
then maybe nukes deserve a look

Some have looked much harder
the modulars impress
they put out mega gigawatts
and water's not a stress..

and a football field 30 foot deep
would hold all the US reactor waste

so maybe it's the go, after all

(chorus):
I’ve been anti-nuclear all my life,
but maybe it's the shiz
I’ve been anti-nuclear all my life,
but batteries spark and fizz
I’ve been anti-nuclear all my life,
but I'm keeping an open mind
coz maybe it's the go, after alll...

The new ones aren't expensive
and The Libs say have no fears
they come ready made in a package
and they may last 60 years

All waste pops out as pellets
stored in Pyrex and in steel
[through a megaphone, ringmaster accent]:
'jobs at facilities in shitholes
like Kimba and Broken Heel!'

We all know they'll be made in China
like the batteries they'll replace,

but maybe it's the go, after all

(chorus):
I’ve been anti-nuclear all my life,
but maybe it's the shiz
I’ve been anti-nuclear all my life,
but batteries spark and fizz
I’ve been anti-nuclear all my life,
but I'm keeping an open mind
coz maybe it's the go, after alll..."

opti, you're dreaming

like you, I'm no longer anti nuclear

but dutton's brainfart will be an expensive, disastrous, never fully delivered, way above budget, way over time limit, contributor of nothing to current problems...

happy gas is on the table though

happy late to the party teals / indies mean it won't just go away too...

That is catchy b6 …
Pls add one more verse :

The great thing about having enemies
is that you can pretend that all the badness
in the whole world is in your enemies,
and all the goodness in the whole world is in you.

& then a ‘yay syppy yay put more spaces in ya writing so we know what ya trying to say - but it’s just regurgitated x stremist posts of cowards trying to lay blame for their pity party situation ay get a fuckn life and a more substantial way to fill the void in ya day, waddya say, oh let’s just play the blame game space line space yaaaaay’ ;)

The new modular reactors are impressive with what they put out for their size.
They also don’t need to be near water anymore…
They pump out gigawatts not mega.
I was also interested to learn that all the nuclear waste generated from all the U.S. reactors from way back in the 1950’s until now would fit in a football field and 30 ft deep.
They the new ones , are not as expensive as some say and last 60 years.
They also come ready made in a package.
Many recycle their own waste.
All nuclear waste is dry pellets ( not like the simpsons) and stored in Pyrex and stainless steel.
I can’t help but wonder where all the giant lithium house batteries are going to go when done……and let’s not forget they are mostly made in China and will not last.
I know this from experience with their inverters etc etc.
If the libs can provide cheap electricity for home and business run once again by govts of all persuasions may be it is the go after all.
Keeping an open mind.

@optimist , can you please post spuds nuclear plan and costings along with timeframe please .

well, sorry to break it to ya, but there's a hell of a lot of people sharing that sentiment

I don't totally buy into it, but the perception is there... and perception is powerful...

perception, and hope, is all we have really

so ok jellytangent, lets narrow it down...

do you believe australia has experienced too much immigration over recent years or not?

do you... (does anybody?) really believe these inflated numbers of immigration are not creating the current housing and homelessness crisis?

because it is this endless nonsensical narrative and obfuscation that gets my goat - which is the same for a lot of people I imagine - you know, denial... identify a problem... solution... and all that stuff...

so simple straight answers would be good, but feel free to throw a youtube video in as a closer...

"@optimist , can you please post spuds nuclear plan and costings along with timeframe please ."

seen a couple of interviews / speeches with libs this week. and both times their opponents / detractors have pointed out its amazing how much detail the libs can go into regarding their gas plan... yet when questioned on nuclear, they've seemingly got nothing...

it's inconceivable really, considering the decade or more they've been rattling on about nuclear

inconceivable and terrifying

Yep

Supa…I can’t….but I’m a gas man and seem alone in that ideology.
But if nuclear can solve it….well I’m open.
Price…whatever it is if it works same as bowens open end plan.
Personally I’d like a world where everyone is responsible for their own power…
Whatever you use…you generate….but there’s no money in that for the corporates.
A bit like smokes and weed….nobody but the govt can supply.. …
Illegal to grow a tobacco plant….or a weed for your own canna oil…
Plants illegal.????
Living in a controlled environment…..not from God …from man…
And now war chucked in as well….Albo sending them to the Russian front.
Why can’t the leaders think simply…the answers are all there…
Stay home …love your people…give them a good life in their own home.

Haha …..”lets narrow it down...”

- and go straight for the immigration blame game yawnnnnnn

No one gives a fuck bout what gets your goat syp.

- just try keep your petty teenage fatalistic doomsdayism at bay.

(Or just try post a pathetic fear mongering x file clip about how we supposedly have no future in this country anymore waahhh wahhhmbulance… get a grip on ya goat)

^ Once again….. ideology, belief and fantasy trumping common sense.

isn't it just trump 101..?
say something spazzy and mental that 10% of people agree with vehemently,
and a further 10% think 'should at least be discussed',
but all the reputable and learned experts disagree with..

then watch the leftnatic fringe flail about and go cross eyed
as they stop traffic and spray paint a cock on something iconic,
so the smug right can lean back in their chair and say.. 'haha, look at them fucktards..'

jellytangent...

'blame game'

yaaaaawwwwwwwwwwn indeed

as bernie would say...

you're doing the work of the koch brothers

carry on...

lil sis

^ inconceivable and terrifying hahaha

Carry on with your outrage tho thyp ;)

Chemistry 101 there Opti.

Last time I checked, Lithium , that naturally occurs on earth , is not radioactive. Period. AW

Haha thyp narrowed it down

Again…

Incontheivable aaaaarghhhh tewifying even

“ We have no future in this country anymore “ hahahaha

…the faces, the looks (& the greta thunberg level scowl and pessimism)
waah no future

What was that about migrants ;)

So when spud the dud hits the ground with a thud , will sussan take over as leader of the opposition ? There’s not much in the talent pool .

Oz HyperOne are ready to roll out SMAP cable (Sydney-Melbourne-Adelaide-Perth)
https://hyper.one/
Oz HyperOne hire Malaysian Installers OMS (Optic Marine Systems)
OMS need Fleet Expansion > They partner Royal IHC that often contract or lease Chinese Ships.

Pause...Most here would know Chinese Built Ships boss all Antarctic / Cable Shipping Fleets...

24 Feb 2025 Says here Ready to deploy > Cable arrives soon > mid year + Super Busy towards year end...
https://www.capacitymedia.com/article/2egljc403u7gkly1hsi68/news/austral...

Malaysian OMS / Dutch Royal IHC would inform Oz HyperOne they are flat out with [AI] Roll Out...
They would've discussed exorbitant cost to lease a cable Laying Vessel down this far south...But...

Also that it's most likely gonna involve a Chinese Vessel anyhow...well durr...so...How about a Plan B.

OMS / IHC would've recommended Hyperone to accept nearest available cable vessel.
Malaysian's would know that nearby 'Discovery Research Ship' can do the job.
Well...ya can't hide the fact that the Round Hull ship rolls out 10km cable min for deep sea ventures...
Possibly > Slight refit in Wellington & yer good to go...Roll Out thru The Strait...on the way home!
As tbb said...this new route seems to thread the Energy Leases better & should last the distance...

tbb can't help thinking if any of that cable was fast tracked to advantage a free Rollout...
During the Caretaker Period...to please the Gas Giants...(Not to be held up any longer than they should)
https://img.offshore-mag.com/files/base/ebm/os/image/2019/03/content_dam...
https://earthsci.org/mineral/energy/gasexpl/offshore_SA.png
Thinking this Southern Cable Fasttrack is a last minute caretaker offset for WA delay!
Coz energy giants are soon as lining up behind Albo...something changed their tune & fast!

Discovery's Route Home follows Gas Giant's directive SMAP as we know it with New Leases in mind.
Cheap as Chips...But the Shame of having Chinese [ Tan Suo Yi Hao ] Discovery1 roll thru the Strait...
Miss Dutto's Kindy : "Mummy! Wotz a Spy Ship!"..Yeah! About that...thought it might come up...(Cough!)

Albo : "Prefer if yer Chinese Branded Ship wasn't rollin' thru here...feeling limp wristed...gonna faint!"

Meaning he has no say in what standby Vessel a Foreign contracted Malaysian Company hires...Ok!

Y'all Got it! All know that makes the World of Sense in this back up Plan B Cheap as Chips context!
Also why he can't reveal security contracts or if HyperOne insist on Priority OMS / IHC Crew Security!
Albo can least reveal if or when any Chinese Ship is involved by Malaysia..Start a diplomatic row!
He's not gonna broaden this into a South Pacific Husting's Scrap over Chinese Junks...

Now! Whatever Fasttrack or Prep was required > Removing / Extending / Roll Out trial of New Cable!
It was worth a Free Trial if Chinese were offering a free ride on their long way home...
So it may not be Rolling out of Cable but a cheeky free of charge prep Trial of new SMAP Cable Route.

April the 1st...this happened...as Discovery Rolled by > SMAP / INDIGO / Oz Connect Interlink Cables
ABC/ SBS / Channel 7 were off Air all morning...then set on a considerable Live delay...
tbb knows coz rewatched...a same delayed RBA Live Announcement (Only...Apparently Not!)
https://www.swellnet.com/forums/wax/599918

Not Dutto's call, if Foreign Partners choose to hire Chinese Vessels as [L] does for Defence / Antarctica!
Dutto slings Medals around Chinese Armed Soldiers for Flying Chinese Flag on Oz Soil (Not a Joke!)
https://au.pinterest.com/pin/341218109248906811/
Fact...Oz & China partnered Chinese War Exercise vessels & ports from [L] Period 2013-2019
27 Feb 2025 https://www.swellnet.com/forums/politico/577285?page=55
Still partner Chinese Vessels / Rescues in Antarctica / Oz Ports 2013-2025
31 March 2025 [L] Antarctic / Port Partnered Joint Ventures / Exercises continue to this day & beyond!

In this case it seems more of a contractual security hitch that Neither Leader wanna or can involve in...
Certainly not War Games...ties in more with Cable + Earlier Premium NZ Sub Radar Test Flight Zone
22 Feb 2025 https://www.swellnet.com/forums/wax/527463?page=53

Please note that Discovery 1 is an Academy of Science Ship recently crewed by 68 internationals...
The Ship docks in a Massive Peoples Recreation Learning Harbour-side Park Precinct.
https://maritimeindia.org/chinas-deep-sea-research-capabilities-part-ii-...
Not hiding beneath Palms on Thunderbirds HQ.
Meaning...OMS/IHC would argue for Hyperone to chill out...It's cool > Not an Evil Empire Spy Ship.
Any / Every single Antarctic / Cable Laying Ship has Chinese Components / Crews / Tech...everywhere!
China cleans > refits > maintains nearly all contract shipping...got Spy Tech on every Ship if they want!

tbb suggests the Truth lies in hiring 3rd Nations that often involve China ...can't be helped in this game!
Yes, tbb still believes recent Trip 'round Oz EEZ plots out our New Super AI Cable Race Circuit.
China are levering their way back into bigger deeper cable market > by size of Players needed in Top 5.
#7 Oz stands to benefit most by inviting Cheaper China in such a massive scale undertaking.
Simply view these Maps as Chinese Quotes of Oz Super AI Circuit ...Why the Fuck Not...
How is that hard to believe...makes more sense than anything tbb has / hasn't read...call it out for wot it is!
If China just led us by the nose...take the hint...Oh Yeah! I see how that ticks all our boxes...ya got a card!

This later caretaker SMAP Chinese fasttrack includes Wellington for Free...if all goes to Plan.
Also notice that NZ Govt are now teaming with big Energy in backing Albo on Chinese Invasion.
Both seem to be biggest winners if China can Fast track Southern Cable rollout trials...Yes Please!

SMAP Cable Map

In closing...with these Maps one can mix'n'match different cable cutting > Re-alignment combos.
Basically with what's on offer is a Cable Crew under Big Corps Command.
Just saying...to read what might advantage a Govt in Caretaker Mode...Got it!
Dutto claims it's Sacrosanct but clearly any Bond Villain can hot wire it with a Made in China Toy Sub.
