Complete insanity. It’s not even about whether you like AI, Australia simply doesn’t have the water or the power grid for this. Any PM worth the title should be telling these companies to pound sand and outlawing these facilities entirely.

JFC. No, EVs are NOT the future. They are unsustainable and building one EV has a greater geological impact than any car using an ICE. They also add more strain to the electrical grid which also has a huge ecological footprint, and the necessary infrastructure upgrades will increase prices.

Building at speed doesn't seem to be the main problem. Windscale opened in 1950, ran til 57 when it caught fire.
Decommissioning is expected to not be complete until the 2040s,
the reactor cores are still in place.
Probably best to have a long term plan before slinging these things up.
