Menzies Research Centre’s Nick Cater says Europe is struggling with energy and the “illusion” of getting by with just wind, solar and batteries has “come crumbling”.
“Their dirty little secret they were getting all that gas and coal from Russia just to keep the home fires burning when the windmills weren’t running – that’s come home to roost now,” Mr Cater told Sky News host Chris Kenny.
“We need a reliable base load source and if it’s not gonna be coal … and gas for base load on that scale, then it has to be nuclear.”
Europ, part of the G7 didn't want to invest in anything related to energy. Let Russia do that and we keep our countries relatively clean.
Now, following US lead by not getting energy from their reliable next-door Neighbour, getting energy from other countries is costing three-fold, availability, transportation, other geopolitical unrest in faraway places and higher cost.
