Australia

Please don't just say "title" when the post title explains absolutely nothing.

It has nothing to do with electricity. It actually has everything to do with the unites states, the CIA, and a country it is now illegal for me to criticise.

Essentially Ukraine surrendered their nuclear weapons and received a treaty from Russia, UK, and USA all promising to Ukraine it would be protected by their nuclear umbrella.

Well Russia invaded Ukraine. Ukraine called the Wests bluff and thus got military backing under the gambit that if the treaty is broken by someone other than themselves they are all well good and free to go make nukes and not be in violation of said treaty thus forcing the west to give them military backing else risk a nuclear rearmed Ukraine (if Kyiv falls to Russia they are gonna take Moscow with them)

Then Donald Trump cut em off and now they are being slowly crushed by the Russia meatgrinder.

Australia has "assurances" that we will be backed by the united states up to and including US solders and deployment of US nuclear weapons. Ukraine his proven that these "assurances" are a load of shit. Also we are essentially a vassal state of the US. The CIA couped us cos our prime minister threatened to not renew the lease for pine gap (a US military base on Australian soil). He wanted to impose a clause where the Australia government could inspect said base to ensure no war crime where happening (we have since learned that war crimes where almost certainly happening). The unites states military base which proxed every single drone used by the unites states in every war in the middle east. And the rely station used by redacted nation as part of their intelligence sharing agreement used for guiding missiles.

The assurances we where given are very similar to those that where given to Ukraine and thus the Australian defence force has realised we need nukes to ensure our sovereignty is maintained if the unites states stops backing us or becomes actively hostile to us.

Technologically the tech and expertise for nuclear reactors are highly applicable for the manufacture of nuclear weapons. Defence has advised the government that we need nuclear reactors so we can make nuclear weapons and remove the blanket nuclear ban (the ban that doesn't apply to the unites states base on ur soil that they couped our government to keep, commit war crimes at, and most likely hold some of the units states nuclear arsenal itself thus making Australia a target if anyone wants to nuke the unites states).

Ohh and also the politicians got given a shitonne of money from the fossil fuel mogals who want to delay renewables. The fossil fuel mogals that wouldn't exist if the government hadn't been couped while in the process of nationalising all of Australia's resources thus robbing every single Australian citizen of $130,000 USD

tldr it's the unites states fault.

Peter Dutton was advocating nuclear about a year ago but I haven't heard much since then.

Why we haven't pivoted more towards solar, I don't know.

I guess because it threatens the profits of coal, oil and gas?
