Never said she was the answer, problem is the encumbent isn't either. You are the one that started calling people childish names. Grow UP!
-
she didn't ask to leave, just said if you don't like it go back. Stale tart, talking about the greens member are you?
-
Just as well I can lift heavy things, or use to be able to.😁
-
Or like the ABC. I see that ABCs interview with Albo about the billionaire he had lunch with didn't include any commentry weather they didn't believe what he was saying from the interviewer.
-
If you are invited into someones home and start to mouth of about the traditional parts of their lifestyle and mouth of about a person who didn't actually have anything to do with the stuff that upsets them, I am sure that you are within your rights to tell them to leave. Pretty sure if we were in Pakistan and started to act like that it wouldn't go down to well. My definition of racism would be that the person was told to go back there just because of their heritage.

Can't see why.
-
Yes, he did. The difference is he took it to an election when he changed his mind. Huge difference! Maybe we could mention "there won't be a carbon tax in a government I lead."
-
Still a broken promise though. Albo probably had more plans on doing it then Trump did.
-
is it racism?
-
Is that anything like albo and co promising not to change negative gearing? Maybe they both had their fingers crossed.
-
Net 0 using weather dependent intermittent generation, allowing men playing in women's sport etc and lying about cutting negative gearing. 3 just off the top of my head.

We will see. It is going to get harder as the penetration of renewables increase. There will be more machine contrained during the windy and sunny days meaning that prices will go up to pay for these machines. Underutilised plant cost $$$$$. The fact that labour has subsidised batterys has taken customers away from paying for grid infrastructure. People can off set there whole bill meaning other people who cant afford batterys or rent accomodation have to subsidise these peoplesbills as well as the batterys. I think we will end up paying a subscription type cost like we do for phones. (after everyone is sucked in to get batterys)

France will be and I would say all ready are looking at wind and solar, but they will always have their NP to do the heavy lifting. The reason they are curtailing nuclear generation is because of environmental issues that weren't thought of at the time. I would think this would not happen with their new builds. Are they really cheaper then Nuclear over 80 years, Really? Currently France exporting about 12GW with a green grid. Germany, not so much! https://world-nuclear.org/information-library/country-profiles/countries-a-f/france https://app.electricitymaps.com/map/zone/FR/72h/hourly

So windfarms in city parklands? Was in Europe recently, Quite a few in Amsterdam and could see a WTG from the London Eye. The ones in Amsterdam that I saw close were 3MW machine, so reasonably large.
-
With electricty (I'm a fan by the way) we need to remember transmission losses as well.
-
Electric motors and converters still release heat as does anything that makes the electricity to power them. Would be interesting to see how much a WTG releases with gearboxes, muliple electric motors converters and hydraulic systems/ MWh.

Do you guys really think the other partys are tied to billionaires?
-
Do you think Albo is a leader?
-
Never say never!

Apparently doesn't matter what you promise with the current mob just say it to get voted in and then do what you want. But the sheep will still vote for them

As I understand, submarines use weapons grade enrichment. Heaps of spare current reactor fuel by the time it is down blended. Sweden have recently started building underground storage as well.
-
Interesting video on the make up of spent fuel. This bloke also has interesting videos.

As far as the grid forming inverters go, I was talking about black start capability as in at Broken Hill when they had the blackout. They had all the wind and solar but the part on the inverters for black start hadn't been commissioned. It would have been a good opportunity to test it. We can store the waste, the facilities still need to be built. Again the more we do the better we will get. Meanwhile it is just sitting on site getting less dangerous every day. I enjoy this blokes videos even though he exaggerates how dangerous the long lived waste is. A uranium fuel pellet can be held in your hand with no protection. Technicians wear cotton gloves to protect the pellet from the oils on your hand. These 2 elements have half lives of millions of years as was quoted in the video. Generally the longer the half life the less dangerous it is. I wouldn't eat it though. The amount is always quoted in tonnes. A lot of the spent fuel is still U238 which weighs approx. 20 times the weight of water so the actual volume is a lot less than you would think.

Just saw this on linkedin

Decommissioning and waste disposal has been solved. It is a political and public perception problem. Most of the waste is long lived waste. Easily managed by deep geological storage or for fuel in a fast reactor. Long lived because it is not very radioactive. The deep storage completed in Finland is costing a part of a c/kWh. Having looked for an update, the 500MW test reactor in India went critical in April this year. Most of the shorter lived waste is dangerous for between 300 and 500 years depending on who you asks. Can also be stored under ground. Shorter life because it is more radioactive. If something happens on the earth that this becomes an issue, I reckon there will be other things to worry about. The big ones as far as decommissioning goes in the west are Sellafield and Hanford. These were built to supply bombmaking material during and after the war. Decommissioning would not even have been thought of. I would think new builds would be built with this in mind. and there is so little of this waste. Synchronous generation does this as a part of it design so it is essentially free. Traditional hydro does this as it is synchronous generation. Not sure about pumped hydro though. It may have inverters to allow reversing pumps etc. Not sure grid forming battery have really been proved yet. We had an opportunity in Broken Hill last year but the inverters didn't have that part commissioned I believe.
