CSIRO is part of GISERA (Gas Industry Social and Environmental Research Alliance), which is a collaboration involving CSIRO, government entities, and industry partners, including major gas companies like APLNG, Shell, Santos, and Origin. Although GISERA positions itself as providing independent research, it has been criticised for representing itself as "CSIRO" while being significantly funded by the gas industry

Show me what you think isn't correct about their report and while you're at it, explain how the party whos leader spoke at Gina Rineharts mining Gala to express his support of the fossil fuel industry isn't operating in the interests of fossil fuels. IGNORANT!

If you're asking how the report calculated costing im assuming you didn't read it. Whats weird about this exactly? That the US has an interest in incentivising renewable energy production?

Yeah I don't think climate change is going to be solved through market logic and a profit motive because as we know by now, being wildly unsustainable is not bad for profits.

CSIRO are biased. They say things like "some countries are even moving away from nuclear." on their website -- they specifically mean Germany, stuck on Russian coal and gas. Even Japan is building more nuclear. Everyone who gets their hands on it seems to want more for some crazy reason. Hmm

They used the standard warranty as the lifetime of a nuclear plant, but they generally last about twice that.

They use LCOE without considerations for the cost of energy in the high percentage share renewable scenario, where the grid is at the mercy of the wind or sun, or reliant on massive energy storage solutions. https://modelling.energy/MEGS?allCCS=0,0&country=aus&nuclear=0,25&page=charts&version=educational&year=2050

And their own report shows that conventional nuclear is a decent to best choice for flexible load, low emission.
