A little more? 0/9 to 10/19 is a big ask. Guess he can't fire "Aunty Amy"

Watched Chris Kenney's "Going Nuclear" program. Featured UK Hinkley C, 3.2 GW. No mention of ~42 billion A$, > 8 yrs to build. Solar equivalent 15 GW: 3 x 42 million PVs (for 60 y life) ~ 18 billion, 3 X 1 GW PHES sites ~ 6 billion, leaves 18 billion for plant & infrastructure.

Snippet from "the plan": "Substantial reductions are also needed for other greenhouse gases like methane" Action: Australia refuses to sign the Global Methane Pledge to reduce emissions 30% from 2020 levels by 2030. One reason: heavily reliant on natural gas for "clean hydrogen"

It’s vital to remember this: oil and gas are going up in price because people – oil companies, hedge funds and others - are speculating in oil and gas in the expectation that there will be shortages. No one actually thinks the stuff is going to cost more to produce.

Adelaide rainfall predictions can be a bit of a conundrum:

At 7:20 am was advised est. 12:30 pm for power back on. This was news to me as I still had power thanks to battery. Restoration time blown out to 7:30 pm. Now having to think of ways to use excess electricity my PVs are generating. Cause of outage damaging wind; damn renewables!

F1 is a FJ - and I don't mean an old Holden model.

It appears that I've been blocked by @firstdogonthemoon for posting the image and source below (with no comment). If so they're a sensitive space puppy; if not, apologies. ourworldindata.org/safest-sources….

Anyone know why RT solar in SA is not showing up in OpenElectricity? Yesterday my 5.1 kW system generated 35 kWh with no sign of curtailment (as opposed to the last time the Vic interconnector was off line)
