We're an item. Or we are in a relationship. Be pretty intrusive to ask a couple if they are "married" unless it's for a Passport or something and even then a bit OFF. Nev

Dutton is coming under extreme pressure to answer the Many questions about HIS plans. We will get to Know as it's introduced doesn't cut it. Nev

The grid has never included WA and It's not economical for remote areas either. That doesn't mean it should be done without where it's suitable. The weather is not uniform all along the east coast where Pump Hydro would also work well. Dutton is not in favour of Pump Hydro although there's extensive areas planned to use it currently. Nev

When you're in a developing area or one where trees fall on Powerlines you get electricity interruptions all the time. Often it's just an inconvenience . Nev

Just motherhood words. People have tight pockets. Hospitals have their OWN because of their unique situation they are in. Nev

It's OK. IF they take you to Court ,they will have nothing on you. Nev

Why does everything have to get so complex ? Redundancy costs MONEY . You double up "Just in Case". There's few things more reliable than these batteries and they can be self monitoring, Instant switching., Nev

Just Farting ON the cage shouldn't matter . It's when you're IN the cage and how BIG you are. Nev

Avoid processed foods. and sugary drinks Nev

Batteries are Naturally DC Volts The clever inverters match it to the Heartbeat of the grid. . Alternators go synch by RPM but locking them is difficult.. The B 727 has a synchronous system with 3 engines Ground Power and the APU involved at various times. It has a Flight engineer to attend to that. Nev

They have to be synchronised to whatever grid they are connecting to . The exact shape and frequency or it will blow everything. Otherwise kept separate. Nev

The flower of youth. Orchids now that you ask. Nev

The "Battery " is Not a single battery. A grid is never reliable in bad weather etc unless it is circular. (essentially duplicated ) Where do you stop? If It's that Important to you further back it up with diesel and really UP the costs. Hospitals do that. . Nev

Al gerbera is happiness and purity. Nev

These are small systems and don't affect large areas IF a battery fails (Pretty unlikely in the big scheme of things) You'd have interruption to your supply. It's a bit of a "what IF" Question. The battery is there to back up the wind and solar. which charges it with the surplus. Nev

Google it. Pumped hydro. Gravity Potential energy. Nev

Thanks for a thorough explanation. it's much as I expected. Nev

Your rooftop could probably produce 10x that amount.. It doesn't really matter a lot whether the storage is funded by private enterprise Or a Co- op. Ideally you're in a market and competition would exist. With Dutton there won't be any. Take it or leave it everyone. THEN you WILL have something to whinge about. You'll also be stuck with a grid to supply from very few sources .Nev

The Police Integrity Unit indulge in entrapment do they? Do you as the apprehending person have NO discretion. If he slipped you a fiver, they might have a point. Nev

Newer versions have better results with diffuse light. Panels have dropped to only about 20% of their former price. This is by far the cheapest energy for the average person. Battery back up could be a community or local area project, completely INDEPENDANT of the system. ALL getting cheaper when everything else will get more expensive.. We are NOT a Nuclear Nation and it's not a simple or Popular move to become one. Nuclear has to be Cooled and that ADDS heat. Disposal and cleaning up the sites after decommissioning is NOT (conveniently?) mentioned in Dutton's Costs. The whole thing is sneaky and Deceptive and lacking in detail. IF the Market won't fund it there's SOMETHING SERIOUSLY WRONG. Look no further. than that. Nev

Not really, Jerry MAY be able to in theory but at great cost and much less value than the original, inevitably.. Nev

Good riddance but he did fight for Jabiru. Birmingham and Fletcher (moderates) are going too. Nev

Don't PUNISH a good vehicle. Punish the driver. Nev

Try driving a VAN fast. People HATE being passed by VANS. Hogging the right lane annoys me. Some just sit there forever.. Coming in from a road on your left is often done badly. I join at (or near) the speed limit watching the spacing carefully. Nev

You pay about $400/ year to be connected to the grid. That's about the Price of hiring Oxy and acetylene bottles. Nev
