Well the overwhelming majority of Voters chose the current Gov`t. Mainly due to the inaction of the previous Gov`t on everything. Including any vision for our ageing, obsolete and closing down power plants for over a decade. O and don`t forget for the past 40 years Nukes have been illegal. Not even American Empire vessels could dock at our ports
Fantastic interview Will! You need to get this on mainstream TV. People need to see this and yes, Australia needs to stop procrastinating and start doing. It’s definitely time to build nuclear in Australia. Keep up the good work Sir 👍
Leadership.....one massive criteria Australia lacks in. Whilst Australians disappear offshore to build the world.....we go back to the stone age. Our politicians are morons.
@@nuclearforaustralia YES and thanks for the Video... Note how often these capable achievers who gain knowledge and wisdom working overseas after coming from such humble beginnings. We should have a system in Australia to draft these people into political office unlike the spinless narcissistic hacks we have. Re Bowen as a fine example
@@nuclearforaustralia Goodluck getting the law changed to allow nukes passed in Australia. Not even your mighty friends bothered to try that the entire time they were in Office
Quote of the year from this knowledgeable professional re nuclear power "you have to have the humility to go out and learn". Our Labor comrades need to take note.
Ohh shh. The original estimated cost of Hinkley Point C was £16 billion, and the anticipated date to get it open and running was 2023. Now, it's £35 billion in today's prices, which could be £46 billion by the time the work is completed between 2029 and 2031.
How is that some 32 countries have nuclear power plants, yet we, as the 13th richest country on Earth, are told that nuclear is too expensive for Australia?
13th richest; come back next week; we will have slipped a few points. I am ashamed of us, what our government is doing to us and how we are viewed in the world.
They want us to live like Soviet peasants. Clinging to the comfortable assumptions of 35 years ago when we had unlimited access to Gas and coal. Australia risks becoming a failed state. In 4 months we choose the direction we wish to take. Be Bold…….the only thing we stand to lose is mediocrity.
We can't afford anything when they keep sending huge donations to other countries that should be capable of fending for themselves, but instead all that happens is more explosions and dead people. Ridiculous.
Leadership - something we haven't seen in the Government for the last few years. Good chat Will, good onya mate and as an older Aussie I support you and your cause 100%!
If Australia is filled with people like Albonese and Bowen then we will all be stuck in the past .... we get the kind of government we deserve ... due to our pathetic ignorance and rusted on preferences
Well done Will and Team. I am a fitter and turner originally by trade. It is amazing where a trade and a thirst for development and experience can take you.
@@dfor50 Like my group of 15 year olds in 1960; do an apprenticeship, stay at school and learn. I finished school at 50 and many of my cohort; 30 lads, continued learning longer.
@@dfor50 How about you suggest he studies Nuclear Engineering at university. I believe some Western Australian uranium miners are sponsoring. Never too early to start enquiring. That's if your grandson wants to peruse a career in the nuclear industry.
It's sad when an 18-year-old is smarter than the government running Australia. This boy has got a great future ahead of him. Let's hope we see some action on nuclear real soon
This young man god willing will one day hopefully be Australia’s Prime Ministers More common sense in the whole of the Australian government both sides😊
I hope Dutton has the strength to follow through and make dreams a reality here in Australia. I absolutly hope I get the oppertunity to have a hand building, commissioning and maintaining Australia's fleet of nuclear power plants, it's a dream of mine. 33yo boiler tech. Ironically I'm Scottish and could of had a hand in Hinkley had I stayed in the UK.
I read the ANSTO report on australian nuclear energy. They showed a dashboard of the problems. 360 degrees of laws, regulations, permission, by laws, real laws and overcoming the greens. Not one iota of construction. I fear it will be 20 years or more to get to the first pour of concrete.
If we go nuclear we can't go wrong. Investing in infrastructure and creating jobs. Australia has always held high standards especially with safety. Hopefully Australian people also see the benefits on their energy bills
Will, well done. What a fabulously interesting interview with a world leading construction engineer working on the world's largest nuclear fission electrical generator.
Great interview Rob Jordan. Long time no see as I remember you working with me in Australia. Australia has the workforce to build nuclear power stations like Hinkley.
Come on Australia it’s time to wake up! ❤ if you want sustainable baseline energy source, it will give you time to learn and improve a fragile infrastructure source in solar/ wind… Unions need to join the 21st century in technology 😮 and up their existing quality standards to UK capabilities.
I am watching this for the 3rd time and was reminded of the people that built sugar mills in Queensland that went out into the world to build other mills/boilers and power stations. I think it was Riley Dodds that build my station in Darwin with sugar mill skilled staff.
Very interesting gentleman indeed. The point about learning is extremely valid, I was fortunate to work on a number of NPS in the late 70’s early 80’s. I have been and still am an engineer, learning every day, passing knowledge on as often as possible. What a great build I have been following it on the EDF TH-cam Channel.
Hinckley C was approved in 2010 and is predicted to be completed by 2031 at a cost of A$75 billion. That's a minimum 21 years and a massive blowout in costs. It is suggested the plant will never break even. And this is a country with existing nuclear expertise so imagine what would happen in Australia.
I agree with what this man we need to get leaders who has Australia future in mind not there own ideology making decisions for us all bring on the election and get ball rolling
He mentioned leadership. Labour is leading us down a path guided by a ban (a legal constraint). They're ignoring the financial constraints of renewables (or not able to evaluate them). Nuclear is a new disruptive technology from labors perspective. The history says too things about disruptive technology. Existing players can't adapt and disappear. The players that survive do it by buying in via new start-up company. Labour needs to start a team dedicated to nuclear and not rely on renewables planners for advice. Other then 30year ban, the price of wholesale electricity has changed, in last few years, to a level where nuclear is cheaper.
Labor is GASlighting us and the COALition lies, the problem isn’t left vs right it’s up vs down, the companies at the top are keeping Australia down for their own benefit.
It was interesting to hear two intelligent people discussing this topic! Thank you. I my opinion, nuclear is the way to go, with household solar and gas. I liked the comment, you need the humility to be willing to learn!
Hi Will, what is the best way to shae this on Facebook and Instagram in my personal feeds, is a way that Meta does not throttle it? Is the worst thing to share the YT link and the bets thing to download the video and post it that way. Well done Will.
Great job, good to see someone do something actually meaningful to solve climate climate change with zero CO2 nuclear, which is reliable and safe. Well done, climate hero's giving people sustainable low cost electricity.
Sounds exciting, I'm really interested in the name of what private companies currently are lining up or lobbying to invest in nuclear power plants in Australia as an actual profitable business? Pls reply....
Go Will! Make sure you come home now :) You seem to be one a few in Oz that are able add commonsense on mainstream media in favour of a necessity for prosperity in Australia, go hard young bloke.
Never understand why people insist a 'mix' is needed. If you have something capable of pumping out quiet clean controlled energy 24/365, everything else is just toys.
I cant understand how in this day and age we cant keep steel reinforcement bar out of the weather and unrusted before use surely it cuts down the lifespan of the concrete, effective cover of steel is so important so surely already rusted steel would be just as inportant
@ Haha! Good p They are proposing only government funded nuclear power in the future? oint. Once there are changes to legislation will we see private nuclear energy production?
How much over budget has it gone over Will? The original estimated cost of Hinkley Point C was £16 billion, and the anticipated date to get it open and running was 2023. Now, it's £35 billion in today's prices, which could be £46 billion by the time the work is completed between 2029 and 2031.
Great Video, hopefully we can enjoy seeing this project come to Australia. It seems our government has no common sense to realise the advantages nuclear has to offer.
UK has had a very mature Nuclear Industry for a very long time and yet they are still 'learning' which has been VERY expensive for them! This guy said he had no idea about Australia's energy mix. His main sticking point seemed to be a political one! Why would Australia rush into attempting to have our VERY FIRST MASSIVE 'learnings' building our first one now? Wait till they are easy to build! Which will be many decades down the road! Lets continue with our Solar/Wind/Storage & firming. Much cheaper and if works out Nuclear might help 20-30 years from now then have another look! So STUPID to build an infant nuclear industry from scratch if UK cant even do it now without huge over runs of cost & time issues! Put nuclear off for 15-20 years at least!
Labour under albanese and the unions have destroyed this once prosperous and great nation the only thing they have produced is division and un-affordability.
Bring this man back to Australia Will and with him and you we will have nuclear....Bowen knows he's way off the track but too arrogant to admit it...Peter Dutton has all the momentum now and hopefully he will change the regulation for us to start a nuclear industry...
This debate has been going on in Australia for decades. You`d think this next (green) generation would have come up with a better non-fossil fuel way forward for our planet in General.
Finally the truth Hinkley Point C..from someone on the ground .. Less prone to BS Cost blow out and timeline First of a Kind Prototype the steepest learning curve. second is underway so teh delay is bringing this Nuclear Power Station on Line will provide Clean Continuity of supply 24/7 Power to Homes and Businesses... Australia has many known factor Nuclear Options proven Designs and known time lines from Sth Korea KEPCO France EDF .. well done Will
I’ve got no problem with nuclear energy but it’s going to take too long to build etc. and we just have so much sunshine. Solar is getting cheaper as well. Maybe one or two reactors on the East Coast would work well. I’m in WA, not part of the national energy grid.
The Federal Government over-rules the State Government. No worries. If Peter Dutton says we will have it in Qld. He will have it in Qld. Crisafulli will be a fool to say anything else.
13:10 south of Hobart will be perfect for nuclear electricity. Less sunshine. Almost as cold as the South of France. Turn the hydro electricity off. And the the Australian Antarctic base could use a nuclear power plant. 😊😊😊😊
Ah yes, the $90B power plant that is costing more, taking longer to build… All built in a nation with an existing nuclear industry and with access to European engineering options not far away… So how the hell will Australia build nuclear on time, on budget when we don’t have the engineers or the manufacturing capability? Let’s not even begin to factor in the waste storage costs that will be passed on for future generations.
🇦🇺??? Follow the 🇦🇺 process, Before anything, we spend $$$ on a sub committee, who does a study, on a white paper, by a Royal Commission, about the study of the other committee/think tank, who are waiting on the other study. (Oh look,....its 2030, and we haven't achieved anything??) Roll on the election and the referendum
Not one mention of time and cost overruns which are in the billions. No evidence if it will reduce the cost of power to the consumer. Will who paid for you to travel to England and do this puff piece?
Not a mention that its more than 3 times over the original budget and over seve years late and not expected to be completed, let alone commissioned, for another three to four. Its a pity this boy doesn't understand the basics of research or fact checking.
Ask him the blow out figures😂, 15 billion pounds. Australia sells millions of tonnes of high quality coal to China and Japan and yet we are penalised to have coal plants, WEF are decimating our economy.
Not a mention that its currently three time over budget and at least 7 years behind schedule. The claim that you don't measure the 'success' by the first unit and that the second one will come in 30% quicker is just propaganda. Its a pity Will hasnt been introduced to the principles of research. Seems like he does propaganda very well.
Great interview with a great Australian. Well done lads. ☢️ 🇦🇺
This interview should be shown on TV in the news etc.
Only Sky News Australia is receptive to anything positive on nuclear energy.

It is interesting that the Gough government were going to use nuclear to make a river from the NW to Pearth.
Hinkley C has had cost overruns $90B and counting… it’s taken longer to build…and power prices will not be cheaper

Turn the hydro electricity off.
And the the Australian Antarctic base could use a nuclear power plant. 😊😊😊😊

cost blowouts are a function of governments keeping interest rates stable. In the 70's we allowed 5% for extra's. Never went over it.
not much thought about the downsides ,very conspicuous
7% isn’t a lot. Love the way he talks down cost and dead,I’ve blowouts as “it needs to be right!” What a gooseberry
Hinkley- tens of billions over budget and decades late.
No thank-you.
Not a mention that its currently three time over budget and at least 7 years behind schedule. The claim that you don't measure the 'success' by the first unit and that the second one will come in 30% quicker is just propaganda.
Its a pity Will hasnt been introduced to the principles of research. Seems like he does propaganda very well.
