🤓 so, i was looking at the @MineralsCouncil submission to the nuclear inquiry, which includes this nifty little infographic…
…and low and behold, it's the typical misinformation & truthiness we've come to expect from them.

the world does not have 452 operating nuclear reactors…
there are 449 if you include the 28 japanese reactors that are still out of service 7.5 years after #fukushima.
so more like 421 operating reactors. no biggie, but let's get it right!

no, germany is not extending the life of its coal fired stations "to back up the grid".
in fact quite the opposite — germany is _paying_ coal power stations to leave the market early.

ahhh, no — indonesia, italy, saudi arabia are three other G20 countries without nuclear.
i'm quite confused, are we supposed to follow the lead of the G20 on energy?
…because it's pretty clear what's been happening in the low-carbon electricity sector over the past 20 years.

the @MineralsCouncil trampled all over the energy debate with promises of carbon capture #CCS…
then showered us with nonsense about #HELE coal…
and now, they're banging on about "small modular reactors" #SMR.
for a bunch of dinosaurs, they sure love science fiction!
