They give a damn about travel but not Carbon Dioxide which wait for it is 0.04% of our atmosphere and any fewer credits our plants start to go yellow
A good observation. The answer would probably need us to 1) normalise the modes of transport onto a single scale on energy required to move a unit of distance, e.g. [joules / km travelled] in a typical vehicle for each mode, and then 2) understand the emissions for the joules produced (and transmitted to the engine). I don't recall seeing a comparison like this but some smart people must have done this already.
Australia has enormous reserves of uranium and thorium reserves in the grounds that could fuel the nuclear generators.
Like to add that UK has already nuclear PS and also under construction factory that will be producing MSR reactors. Already have some orders for MSRs from some countries including Emirates ...Australia has enormous reserves of uranium and thorium reserves in the grounds that could fuel the nuclear generators.
If for carbon storage are given the carbon credits than maybe Australia should be receiving also some carbon credit for exporting nuclear fuel?
Why we have only climate activists, political zero carbon politicians, climate warming protesters, etc.. but no educated Australian strategists that would work out and assess the best social and economic strategy for our country ?
Over 20 countries had chosen transition to net zero carbon strategy that supports reliable power supply for their countries, but not Australia
Are the Aussies blind?

As noted earlier, it's not about the environment. Nuclear solves the environmental problem (if it exists) therefore nuclear is not attractive to activists.Why we have only climate activists, political zero carbon politicians, climate warming protesters, etc.. but no educated Australian strategists that would work out and assess the best social and economic strategy for our country ?

Nuclear might maybe have solved it if you went back 60 years & built a few reactors rather than coal power stations, but right now it costs too much. For all the talk of the horrible terrible cost of sustainable electricity generation, it's considerably cheaper to build a bunch of different types of that plus storage systems(*) than it is to build reactors. If we won't do that because it costs too much, there's no way we'd be forking-out for reactor power stations that cost more.
QED.
It only seems nuclear is too dear. Taken on a cost per Mw produced it is not. Nuclear operates continuously at 90%+ for 60-90 years whereas wind operates at 40% or less of capacity for maybe 25 years.
