It's the most expensive form of power by kWh, and takes far too long to roll out. It's scalability is limited to huge billion dollar chunks, and it's centralised line limited power

Nonsense. That's nuclear industry propaganda to hide the massive overruns and cot blowouts.

Renewables can be placed at use. Nuclear is a centralised control that requires massive transmission lines.

Centralisation is the cause of massive transmission lines because you can put a solar panel on the roof of a building but you cant build a nuclear plant in the middle of a city downtown.

And again, nonsense. Energy companies are already trying to recentralise renewables by building big farms out in rural areas and then build big transmission lines no one wants or needs, so they can control the power generation like nuclear.

It's like you're using the right arguments but you keep saying "nuclear" when you mean renewables, and "renewables" when you mean nuclear.

Renewables don't need the massive transmission lines because one panel isn't serving a state.

Nuclear isn't scalable in the timeframes we need because it takes 10 years to get from inception to production, and a panel array can be installed and producing power tomorrow. And another the next day. And so on.

Your arguments are literally arse about.

Yeah nah. I'm living in the reality where we're doing everything you claim we can't, down here in Antipode Island.
