When Ted O’Brien and Peter Dutton claim their 7 nuclear plants will last 80 years, remember, the longest-running so far has lasted 55 years.

And in that time, 210 reactors have been shut down, with an average decommissioning age of 28.3 years.

Brilliant article. Let’s hope they do scare the horses and it is only for one term.

a cartoon with two panels panel one is a stick figure saying "oh! a fossil fuel!!" standing above a crudely drawn black lump under a brown ground Panel two is them walking away and saying "I'll just leave it there" The head of the person is not a drawn circle but the letter O, because the random software I used to draw it did that for unexplained reasons

No sugarcoating this: Trump’s Energy Secretary — Chris Wright — is a oil and gas goon who had this to say last year:

The head of the #NACC Paul Brereton, pulled out of appointing one of Australia's best legal minds to investigate Robodebt, because Brereton was scared of the reaction of one of the people they were investigating; Scott Morrison.
