Comment on Peter Dutton’s nuclear accounting trick #3: Hide the costs of keeping coal by Alan C

In reply to <a href="https://reneweconomy.com.au/peter-duttons-nuclear-accounting-trick-3-hide-the-costs-of-keeping-coal/#comment-176935">Truth Missile</a>. Egads... I had not noticed. If they amortized it over 50 years... how MUCH did they add in for the refurb after 30... When CSIRO examined such things the cost to go longer than 30 years of that refurb was so much it id not even lower the average cost per MWH by much. So don't tell me I will guess. They did not mention, in their additions, the relative emissions costs, so I expect they will also not have counted refurb costs. Much like waste disposal, gov nuke regulatory body, insurance were all free too.
