All the “anger at the rollout of renewables” is just Astroturf by the fossil fuel industry.
If you do 30 seconds of research into the “No Windfarms”, “No Pylons” and “No Solar Farms” movements, you will discover that they are all run by a handful of marketing firms associated with the Fracking Industry.
There is no “anger at renewables”.

Yes. The fossil fuel groups pushing nuclear is just a pivot. It is denial and delay all the way and they always funded these psuedo protest groups.
It is a shame. I am moderately pro-nuclear but we can’t have any sensible debate about the reality of nuclear power in Australia while one side is only in it to preserve stranded asset value.
They have no commitment to nuclear power or reducing carbon emissions which is why they don’t care about the economics. It is a cynical con but I think it might prove successful in winning voters concerned about climate change over to the coalition at the next election.
