Re: News & Discussion: Electricity Infrastructure
Is China just building everything as fast as they can to satisfy demand? In China for 2023, 74% of newly installed nameplate generation was wind or solar. Year on year China keeps increasing the total percentage of renewable installations vs fossil fuels. Just not nearly as fast as Australia has. ht...

Re: News & Discussion: Electricity Infrastructure
suddenly they're not reliable after 100 years... but wind turbines that only work when the wind blows a certain speed range are reliable What do you mean by suddenly after 100 years they are not reliable? One trick winds farms have is the sheer quantity of small turbines. If one fails it makes litt...

Re: News & Discussion: Electricity Infrastructure
South Australia also has always had some of the highest prices due to gas and size of network vs consumers. 2009 is when wind start to account for 10% of generation. 2011 wind is 20%. 2016 is when the last coal plant in SA is retured. https://www.aer.gov.au/industry/registers/charts/annual-volume-we...

Re: SA Economy
Don't know about anyone else, but I haven't bought a new vacuum cleaner in at least 10 years. The old Hoover that I got from Godfreys is still going strong. I had 2x Hoover's from Godfrey's. Well I bought 1, that died within 12 months and that got replaced under warranty with a brand new one that d...

Re: SA Economy
I would say Godfrey's actually became more niche as time went on. Excluding themselves from more and more of the vacuum cleaning market.SBD wrote: That is what I meant. The others successfully diversified further out of their niche market to compete with other companies diversifying in to that niche.

Re: SA Economy
Godfrey's somehow got themselves into the position of not selling what people were buying. Eg Dyson and robots. I assume that was Godfrey's wanting more control over price and distribution but major manufacturers deciding they didn't need Godfrey's at all. Mr Dishwasher I am sure started as dishwash...

Re: News & Discussion: Electricity Infrastructure
They keep investing in large scale solar & wind farms, and tell us power prices will come down. Power prices then go up, then they tell us its because of "gas", or the cost of the ageing grid repair/maintenance/upkeep work is expensive. So why are we still relying on the grid, if the ...

Re: News & Discussion: Electricity Infrastructure
I believe some of the energy cost increase is the subsidy being paid to solar panel and battery purchasers. So those without are paying for those with, in that particular part of the economy. How fair that is, would be a complex debate regarding who pays what tax and who has access to what schemes. ...

I believe the remaining Coles expresses go to Reddy branding before some get upgraded to otr. The sites that are not upgraded remain as Reddy.

Certainly sounds like a massive improvement for casual users.
As has been said adding a metro card to your Apple/Google/Samsung/whatever digital wallet should also be made possible.

Re: News & Discussion: Trams
Governments and corporates have extensive red tape. They would prefer to spend quite large amounts of money to make sure they could not be liable for even larger amounts of money. Safety, documenting, certifying, competency and such that simply isn't done in smaller work places. As these liability l...

Re: Electric Cars
It has been explained. If you know the science that disproves this explain it. I am no scientist perhaps you can school me. However your post of F=MA seems very lacking and I lean to that you are simply still confused. It seems you are confused with the energy spent to create the A vs the resulting ...
