Russia has unaccounted for RTG's lying all over the place. Grab one of them
Yes, I'll buy it, then we can put it in your shed and run an extension cord to my place.Russia has unaccounted for RTG's lying all over the place. Grab one of them
Like I said once before, I tend to think it will become a requirement of the building codes, eventually.
Similar to the insulation energy efficiency class requirement now, all builders will have to include solar and batteries, in the price of new build houses.
It still leaves a huge problem in the distribution system, controlling volts, new pole top transformers with auto tap changes will end up being required IMO.
But with regard the 'bigger picture', household solar and batteries is a pimple on an elephants arse, when taken in context to the size of the problem.
What did Finkle say, we need about 200GW of renewables, when you consider smurph said a while back the total load on the Eastern States grid was 30 GW, that tells you how much is going to be required.
200GW is a mind boggling amount of solar and wind generation.
With gas, steam driven generation you only need enough to run the system, with a bit extra for standby, because you just fire it up when you want it, 100% is ready to go at the turn of a switch when it is driven by fossil fuel.
With renewables, you have to have enough to operate the system, then extra to allow for unreliable generation due to weather/ time of day or night, then more to be able to make some form of stored energy.
Bill Shorten... after blocking the NEG is now going to adapt it.
Yeppers. And he will probably block it again if 2GB (aka coals-radio) tell him to.Maaate, the NEG was blocked by the likes of Tony Abbott.
That post was August, it looks like RCR Tomlinson, aren't going to survive the hit.Yes, I was reading RCR Tomlinson are putting in a few solar plants for them. Seems one of the farms is going to cost RCR dollars with miss quoting and running over budget.
But they do sound like decent installations.
A relevant factor is that the ALP has extremely good access to all the right people in regard to this stuff. So they can get every perspective from senior management to engineering through to day to day practical operations stuff.I'm more interested in why the ALP have suddenly changed their mind on it
Very true. I just hope they can actually roll this one out and do it competently.A relevant factor is that the ALP has extremely good access to all the right people in regard to this stuff. So they can get every perspective from senior management to engineering through to day to day practical operations stuff.
The Liberals in particular have in practice cut themselves off from that sort of thing long ago.

Prior to all this I used to put the great Tasmanian dams debate of the early-1980's into context by explaining that it extended over a period of 3 years and 9 months, wrecked 2 state Premiers and gave the state it's first ever majority Liberal government.After 10 years, 6 Prime ministers and 6½ policy changes it's time to get something done.
I'm more interested in why the ALP have suddenly changed their mind on it.
It certainly wedges the Libs, unless they can show why it was flawed and not adopted.Its a decently green policy that the LIB govt has already passed at party room level twice, its genius to adopt the LIB policy and run with it, the greens wont like it but they never do like anything the main stream party's adopt..
The battery idea, will be another brain fart idea,
Absolutely and the system is in place to facilitate it, to add a new level of complexity to the funding system is dumb and open to new scams. IMOWasn't it you who said solar panels and batteries should be compulsory ?
If you post that in the NTU thread you could use that as your December tipRare earth mineral discovery set to make Australia a major player in electric vehicle supply chain
