That's a fair point.

Well it's not really an either/or situation. The current Labor government's plan is a combination of majority renewables with gas and hydrogen. They are also running coal at the moment but have no plans to renew those plants during the transition. They've signed on to emissions reductions of 75% by 2035.

So you've got one plan which has some reduction targets (probably not steep enough) planned transition, costed and budgeted that doesn't require more coal, and one plan which will pull funding from renewables, and requires more coal until some time as which they can get nuclear approved, built and commercialised.

Context is important here. The conversation here was about Australia's nuclear capacity. A country where nuclear power is banned at both state and federal levels. Where the plan for it's use is currently uncosted, the planned sites have been selected without environmental protection studies and several of which are supposed to be SMRs.

Would you build a bleeding edge nuclear reactor without a legal framework to govern its construction or operation? Without a workforce trained in its functions? Without considering the environmental factors of its geography? Without considering the cost?

Probably not. But that's the current plan put forward by the reactionary right in Australia and this from a party who doesn't believe in climate change, have no emissions targets, and whose whole plan is to continue to run and build coal power until whatever time they work out the details on nuclear.

Beyond theory I found practical examples were extremely helpful in understanding how anarchist politics relate to real life, so I'd recommend Revolution in Rojava: Democratic Autonomy and Women's Liberation in Syrian Kurdistan.

This post just makes me more convinced that we're going to see another Trump term... I'm not in the US, but from over here I can't see how it doesn't go that way.

You're both nuts..that's too much.

In your world view, where does 'sovereignty' come from?

Don't be a business person who lives to exploit workers and fuck over the world.

Don't be surprised when the moral code you live by that is founded entirely on the exploitation of others means the exploited need little reason to cheer on your downfall.

Also when you genocided the indigenous people so hard you never needed to adopt any loan words from the native language.

They're traditionally for boomer age people and they can be a bit weird about gender roles. For transparency my local one is officially called the 'Community Shed' but Men's Shed is still the coloquial term most people use.
