A live tree sequesters carbon in 1. wood/roots and 2. soil. For carbon to be sequestered in soil requires further processes of breaking down fallen leaf matter, namely being consumed by funguses or other organisms. Fallen leaf matter otherwise emits carbon straight back into the atmosphere unless it...

What sort of min-maxed cheap student housing block is ever going to have money spent on sound proofing?

From those renders, bye bye Cranka. Looks like it'll be a hot place for sushi cakes and lungo.

After that, only sound proofing needed is from the car park...

The building that gets its view obliterated is the old and crusty Stamford Plaza which, sans view, has got 0 selling point.

No article with them bitching about it (although surely they'll fight it through the planning process).

Cheers

hate to say I told you so

And where do the high prices start?.....they start with the price of gas

But I thought the invasion of Ukraine and sanctions on Russian gas lead to a rise in the price of the wind blowing

Stages 1A and 1B are the "boring" bits of the project for me. But at 400MW, the nameplate capacity is already 1/3 larger than the current largest wind farm!

I'm more excited for the next stages and champing at the bit for that 900MW/1800MWh battery. Absolute game changer.

Will be interested to see if we can actually compete on price with Chinese ones, but still great to see investm...

That being dictated to by "foreigners" is ok by you if you're from Bumfuck, Texas?

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 ...

Ok boomer

Ok boomer.

Stop what? When the NSW interconnector and goyder south are complete in a couple of years, SA will blow straight past 100% renewables. You're 20 years too late to building nuclear in Australia and your prime example to do so (the french) started to build theirs in the late 50s. And good on them! The...

Depends. How many solar panels, hydro dams, pumped hydro dams and grid scale batteries do you have?

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 I think the key there is in the process. There's a big difference in it not being a big deal l...

Why are you even on this forum? I live here and you don't. You left Australia to live in the EU which is run by a bunch of lunatics like Guy Verhofstadt and Ursula Von Leyen. Stay in your lane and butt out of our affairs. Nobody made you the judge of who can comment. Talk to the mods if you think t...

The coal lobby doesn't want to lose its income to wind and solar but happy to accommodate a uranium rod.

I've heard some shit in my time but this one
