The war against renewable energy

[peetoo]

No lol. At best we have 3 mines that export raw ore, exploration stopped a decade ago too

Federal/state bans, no refining/enrichment capability, no designs for plants(these could be bought), no engineering/scientific labour available, no waste sites approved(this is probably our one advantage tbf)

UK is getting China to build their latest one. So much for AUKUS

The clear way would be to get China to do it for us, eh mr Dutton?

Yeh that's not going particularly well either

China’s CGN Halts Funding for UK’s Hinkley Point Nuclear Plant

Not sure the UK as a third world country will be finishing these big builds

How is anyone going to sell nuclear whilst renewables are brining prices down???

My bills haven’t gone down, and they’re about to go up again.

My bills haven’t gone down, and they’re about to go up again.

Energy companies are now offering large incentives to sign up… why? I just got $240 to switch over to gas and electricity.
Energy price review soon

Prices are predicted to go down!!

Mine went up a fair bit last year. Hoping to see a reduction in 2024.

I’m getting 50c per kWh feed-in tariff so won’t be changing providers anytime soon.

Have you tried using less power?

 

[Dogs_R_Us]

Have you tried using less power?

Turning lights off? Or not using the air con in hot weather?

Have you got solar? Or battery?

Solar. No battery.

I thought last week we needed to refer to her as Ms Gina Reinhart AO.

But that is the detail we need. Nuclear is 30 years away. Ms Rinehart is 70 and I do have concerns about her long term health. She doesn't have a good relationship with her children; so what is the succession plan? (I am assuming she isn't a witch)

No, no, no. We refer her to as Mt Gina, as in 'Mount Gina' and if that image doesn't put you off your dinner there's something wrong with you.

I'm not sure why ABC bother, the people convinced by Nuclear arguments arent going to be watching.

So they are going into the next election promising nuclear power plants in which electorates? .

Which electorate is Lucas Heights in?

The ones with coal fired now? Except it’s a ruse to keep coal fired longer


So the LNP who just roasted the govt in wasting time on the voice wants them to waste more time removing the nuclear ban?

Australia's biggest smelter to launch massive wind and solar tender, says nuclear too costly

The biggest single energy consumer in Australia, the Tomago smelter, is about to launch a massive tender for wind and solar. It says nuclear is too expensive.

I mean, bit of a slap in the face of the LNP.

At this stage I would not put it past them, such is the aversion to renewables.

Game changer. These trucks will be driving around Sydney you’d think 8 plus hours a day NOT polluting residential areas with deisel nasties and CO2.

Going to do a lot more for the push than a huge fleet of commuter private electric cars

"A game changer:" Albanese hails delivery of biggest electric truck fleet in Australia

First 43 of 60 ordered electric trucks unveiled at the western Sydney depot of Team Global Express, supported by a battery, solar panels and charging equipment.

There are 500,000 registered trucks in Australia.
Only 499,940 more to be replaced The game is definitely changing apace.
Nothing wrong with CO2.
Australia air quality is generally among some of the cleanest in the world, although the country is vulnerable to short-term extreme pollution spikes which occur due to bushfires and dust storms.

Diesel pollution alone is a good reason to phase out these trucks in residential areas. Some of them are horriffic polluters. Employed by so called green councils
