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...

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 ...

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...

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...

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...

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 ...

he's calling me a redneck because I live in the place this forum is supposed to be about Do you or do you not believe the proponents of starting a nuclear power industry in Australia genuinely want to build nuclear power plants? Simple question. Are you as 1. A proponent of nuclear and 2. Someone w...

the elephant in the room here is of course natural gas...but again, politics... meanwhile the Chinese have 16 nuclear power plants under construction and will have 10% total power to China, nuclear, by 2035. 10% of China population...do the math now what would they know... What math are you referri...

No, the point is the public were eased into this type of energy and are now stuck holding the baby. Panels lose their efficiency from the moment they're deployed too and by the end of their lifecycle will need to be replaced at the cost of the consumer. If you add it all up its a scam, and I'm sure...

I love the double standards here. Removal of the home solar subsidy is just putting further cost onto the consumer...which increases prices of energy further. What double standard? Also I'm confused, are you in favor of subsiding home solar, or not? No, the point is the public were eased into this ...

The subsidies around wind and solar are more around helping the industries get setup and building the economies around them so they can reach a point where subsidies aren't required. The home solar subsidy for example has been decreasing every year and will be entirely gone by 2030. The larger indu...

Save the Cranker firing into action. You heard it here first. (I'm all for seeing our CBD grow up, just now historic pubs that are still a big part of our live music scene, when there are still plenty of other suitable sites available). live music is going the way of boomers. the kids want to see D...

To get this back onto the subject of energy discussion rather than whatever the hell the last couple of pages have been, I wonder if the Liberal nuclear policy will even make it to the election. There is so much pushback and a clear lack of consultation that it seems very risky to run on, but at the...
