Re: News & Discussion: Electricity Infrastructure

Screenshot_2024-03-27-08-34-39-225_com.android.chrome-edit.jpg So anyway. Stage 1 under construction 400MW of wind). Final delivery of turbines on site by about September. Stage 2 is 600MW wind and 600MW solar. But the game changer is a battery delivering 900MWh for 2 hours at a time. Say whatever ...

Re: News & Discussion: Electricity Infrastructure

imagine if hail was a thing in SA... oh wait thousands of acres of panels destroyed... just ignore that detail I was geo-blocked from seeing if the farm might still be generating electricity. I could not find any official information online to suggest that hail-damaged panels leak dangerous chemica...

[U/C] Re: M2 North-South Motorway

Yeah, just driving along that section of South Road it's clear the Tram bridge needs to be bigger to allow for the expansion.

Re: Riverlea (Buckland Park) | 12,000 dwellings | $3b

Where did this stuff about going to the Central Market to buy their vegetables come from? Yes, that would be fantastic. It would also be fantastic if we just deployed Star Trek style teleporters to resolve the issue entirely. All the examples both from here, interstate, and internationally, show th...

Re: Riverlea (Buckland Park) | 12,000 dwellings | $3b

Some people on this forum complain about sprawling suburbia on productive farmland. Some complain about excessive commute time/distance. Now we have people wanting to build housing and a new railway line+station on land that is zoned as primary production horticulture. I'm the one who thinks people...

Re: Riverlea (Buckland Park) | 12,000 dwellings | $3b

It would be wise to: - Reserve land for a rail corridor - Or, even wiser, halt all further development and rip up the nasty, cheap contract with Walker Corp. Agreed. The issue is that they did not reserve land for a rail corridor, and they are now building on top of all the land that could have bee...

Re: News & Discussion: Electricity Infrastructure

What did you study at university Nort? Let's not move onto another subject before resolving the current one. Can you or can you not show evidence for the claims you are making? :lol: oh look at you deflect now I don't need to provide a link to prove the sky is blue In this analogy we agree the sky ...

Re: News & Discussion: Electricity Infrastructure

You cant have turbines everywhere. You do realise you've got to build electricity networks to all of these turbines - they probably don't teach such technical details in what has substituted our education system in this generation. There are times of the year where there is virtually no wind across...

Re: News & Discussion: Electricity Infrastructure

this highlights how absurd your position is... no matter how much capacity you build you cant make the wind blow :lol: That's why you don't just rely on wind, and where you are using wind generation have it spread across a variety of locations. Can you share an example of the weather conditions tha...

Re: News & Discussion: Electricity Infrastructure

I just feel kind of uneasy about running 100% on a form of generation that completely relies on perfect weather to operate efficiently. It also doesn’t help that quite a few people I’ve spoken to about this (not on here) act as if this is intermittency is some kind of advantage and go on about real...

Re: News & Discussion: Electricity Infrastructure

I don’t get what’s so bad about literally just legalising it? No one says as soon as it’s legal that we’re mandated to build any, it’s literally just changing a political decision made nearly 30 years ago 1. No commercial entity wants to do so, making it a waste of time. 2. There would be a lot of ...
