Australia nuclear facility installs massive rooftop solar system to save $2 million
The power hungry synchrotron operated by ANSTO is hosting a massive rooftop solar system to cut energy costs.
You're viewing a single thread.
Even they see the writing on the wall about $/kWh of nuclear.
They’re in Australia, they’re obviously already connected to the electrical grid, and have the free space. I don’t really see how taking advantage of an obviously free win is in any way a “sick burn” of nuclear.
Especially considering this is going on a research facility… and in fact some of their research can benefit the solar industry!!
Because it's about nuclear power bad. Saving the planet is secondary to proving one's moral superiority over other people!

The irony here is that the conservative party in Australia is pushing hard for a transition to nuclear power, despite the fact that we have pretty good conditions to reliably harness several forms of renewable energy in this country. That's why this headline is ironic, setting aside the fact that it's misleading (given that this is a research facility, we don't currently have any nuclear power plants here).
This is a research facility, not a power plant.
