What Australian journalists won't tell you. "In 2024, nuclear reactors globally produced a record 2,667 TWh of electricity." Australia's entire annual electricity consumption is around 250 (TWh) - less than a tenth of the total electricity being generated by nuclear in the world.

Last night, I released a new episode about the computer history of Australia. This time on the computer UTECOM. Operational in 1956, UTECOM was used by Charles Hamblin to create a very early computer language called GEORGE. It used his invention of RPN. https://t.co/gFiU0tQG0X
