You are sounding more like you have a closed mind and aren't receptive to other peoples opinions and new technologies. No wonder a lot of people have a go at you. Maybe a common denominator.

There is a super critical co2 turbine being developed. Based on a gas turbine but used co2 instead the atmosphere and heated through heat exchanger instead of combustion. Supposed to be a lot smaller physically then a steam turbine. Apparently China have one running. Developer are looking at high temp NPP to run them. Still would require a "condenser" of some sort.

Build by the ocean, develop dry cooling!

Maybe solar and battery's aren't as good as all they hype??

They are talking dry cooling thermal plants now if they are away from the sea. Little bit less efficient but who cares in a nuclear plant as the fuel is so cheap/MWh. Fossil fuels are unreliable because they have been demonised and maintenance is deferred. (maybe fairly) Not many wars happening in Australia.

The fuel tax credit scheme isn't just to coal. Windfarms get it as well as farming on their offroad diesel. AS far as the capacity of wind in England, you can have as much capacity as you want but it is no good if you can't use it. Sux if you still need to pay for it though. https://lumifyenergy.com/blog/curtailment-costs-scotland/ Is this what the CIS does? SA is in the same boat. The government is just stating to admit 82% by 2030 is a pipedream. Could have told them that years ago. https://wattclarity.com.au/articles/2026/08/07aug-trouble-with-82percent/ Wattclarity is a good site for the state of Australia's electricity system Has any country got close to net 0 and/or has affordable electricity delivered to the consumer using mainly wind and solar. Our price of electricity is comparable to France and they have finished the transition and make money from exporting electricity int country's next door. We are half way there with mainly just replacing generation, now we need to do the storage and the transmission which is going to make the second half exponentially more expensive. France is just starting the rebuilding phase now after 50 years. Finland have cheaper power and are now a net exporter of electricity since their new reactor opened. AI Overview The launch of the Olkiluoto 3 nuclear reactor in April 2023 helped Finnish wholesale electricity spot prices drop over 75%, falling from a peak of €245.98 per MWh in December 2022 down to around €60.55 per MWh. Production costs for nuclear generation itself historically run low (under €50/MWh). [1, 2, 3, 4] France only exporting about 8GW today, the least amount I have seen. The snip below shows the advantage of NP, hydro or both in net 0 (electrictymaps.com) I know, you've all heard it before, reminds of the $275 off our bills.😁

Even with all the doom and gloom an Frances NP, still smashing power into its neighbors. Germany not so much.

we went cars, they were faster , used a more energy dense fuel. We had coal/gas, now we are going back to less energy dense fuel. We will see what happens, unfortunately!

More details please

If it makes sence, why the incentives?

once in how many years,solar shuts down evert night

havent listened to radio national, was on the 730 report

Not to look biased. We had a reporter saying that legitamising one nation is a bad thing. I'm not saying they aren't the most trusted source as they should be because they are paid for by the tax payer and that is the difference. Imagine how they would have reacted if the Murdoch press put a cartoon on similar to what the ABC had with Gina except use Wong or Gallagher. They are doing a terrible job at not looking biased.

Less bias is not no bias. They are funded by the tax payer and should have no bias. That's the fact Jak! Everyone knows that the other broadcasters are biased. Albo got asked difficult questions on the abc the other day and he just didn't answer it regarding his lunch with the Chinese dude. They just let him get away with it, they wouldn't let the other party's get away with it without some commentary. ABC does the most investigative commentary and adds a bit to make it sell. Remember the extra shots they put in when the Aussie soldiers were shooting out a helicopter. Something the Murdoch press would do!

I saw an interview with Penny Wong a few months ago on insiders. The first 5 mins was just having pot shots at the opposition. As well as being kept on subject by the interviewer the opposition gets the "I don't believe you" lines chucked in during the interviews. Murdoch has nothing to do with this. Everyone knows they are biased. The ABC is paid for by the taxpayer and should treat all sides of government the same. No Brainer really. The left leaning think they are the best things out. I have people in my direct family that think the same. They don't appreciate it being bought to their attention. Just so you know, the last time I can remember voting for a major party at the top of the voting slip was when Howard bought in the gst and I did not support that. None have earnt my vote towards the top of the voting slip since.

If the ABC wasn't so biased itself, maybe they would get more interviews with them.

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?
