Hitler was more Green than Fascist, The truth will come out!I hope green voters led the way by reducing power this morning. Seen as they caused all these problems
Lake Onslow was due in 2040 (16 years time)
And that’s not even taking in to consideration that the Lake Onslow scheme requires a large percentage of the energy the “battery” produces to pump the water back up into Lake Onslow again. In fact, overseas experience has shown that hydro battery solutions is one of the most expensive ways of producing power.Lake Onslow was due in 2040 (16 years time)
I think the problem is the govt banned home heating with fires, enforced AC in rentals, promoted E vehicles, took in 200k immigrants last year so significantly increased demand… and you think their solution was 16 years away so it’s Nationals fault
Purposefully increasing demand with no supply solution (in fact making it worse by removing gas) is classic Labour/ Greens.
I could be argued Lake Onslow was a huge disincentive to investment for the next 16 years.
As an electrician there’s also a looming billions in investment in power distribution required both up and down the country and up and down streets with the surge in E- vehicles and AC with no plan for how to pay for it…
Yawn. Cite some references.Hitler was more Green than Fascist, The truth will come out!
Yep. Thanks neoliberalism for that too, given profit extraction has driven the lack of investment away from fossil fuels.
So we do nothing except what? More fossil fuels? Short termism while the planet burns ever intensely.
No….. we look at alternatives like the two I’ve mentioned instead off considering one of the most expensive options not just in terms of the initial construction but then the costs of actually using it. Especially when you consider that it’s not for supplying power every day but as a back up for when the hydro lakes are low or there’s not enough wind for power generation.
and drinking endless cups of herb tea and vaping.
yes yes, we all know you hate progressive thinking dean
You also realise that because we started to reduce the gas that could be used for power generation we are instead reactivating coal generation when the hydro and other renewables are restricted. And, because we’ve reduced coal extraction, we have to import foreign coal which creates even more green house gases as the quality of the coal isn’t as good as what we have here.
I always think ahead. That is why I bought a hilux instead of a tesla and burn wood for heating and hot water.
Money flows to returns. Theres no investment in renewables without public subsidies. The sooner the far left get that, the sooner we can have a meaningful energy debate.
Again, show how 5 billion people can survive without the 4 pillars of civilisation. Concrete, plastic, ammonia, and steel.
And the sooner the conservatives acknowledge we're killing our planet and look to actually do something about it by changing the thinking and economic models around renewables the sooner the right and far right (and by the way, what far left? Labour's still neo liberal, the greens are left) the sooner we can stop destroying what little environment we have and actually build a sustainable future.
Well, you mean the rich get richer and don't give a fuck about anyone else.
Bullshit. Pollution is killing our environment and we have made meaningful progress but more needs to be done.
Complete fantasy. If that was the case philanthropy and charities wouldn't exists. As per a recent study, its not rich parents that determine success, its IQ. Instead of being bitter about capitalism (that's lifted more people from poverty than any other political system) you could benefit from it.
