Re: News & Discussion: Electricity Infrastructure
Really not enthused by that. There are zero scale efficiencies and needless duplication of everything provided by the grid. If they must target a specific group, could have just given a straight up subsidy and gotten on with it.

Re: News & Discussion: Electricity Infrastructure
If we're crying about 9 billion then... Europe: the continent with 70 years of expertise in building and running nuclear plants in a nuclear industry. Let that sink in. Finland built a 1.6GW reactor for a cost of 11.6 billion euro. This is a country with existing expertise in building and running nu...

Re: News & Discussion: Electricity Infrastructure
Amazing that basically the only thing SA could ever be regarded as a world leader in and you still get those types against it. nobody will want to move to a state to manufacture that has the most expensive energy in the world that only has the capacity for 1.5 million people and requires backfill f...

Re: News & Discussion: Electricity Infrastructure
abc. Net renewables in SA in 2027. 3 years. What are you going to power with a nuclear plant that, if the answer was yes today, would maybe be commissioned by 2040? Nothing in SA. The capacity is already built out. Now, take the state which has done absolutely fucking nothing - Queensland. From 2018...

Re: News & Discussion: Electricity Infrastructure
If absolutely everything went perfectly for nuclear, you'd get your first nuclear plant commissioned in time to see the entire NEM already 100% renewable. Without getting into the debate of whether solar/wind is cheaper than nuclear (which it is, I just don't have the capacity for idiots on a Saturd...

Re: News & Discussion: Electricity Infrastructure
For those into the politics, here it is. SA will be at 100% net renewables in 3 years. Australia at 80% in 6 years (currently nudging 40). Building a nuclear power plant typically takes 7-15 years if, IF, you have an existing nuclear industry, related infrastructure (hello waste storage again), the ...

Re: News & Discussion: Electricity Infrastructure
There's not the slightest shred of evidence that this is true. Pure imagination that would put Walt Disney to shame. Meanwhile, in the real world, nobody is investing in coal unless government guarantees are involved. lol, I don’t need to imagine it, all I gotta do is look at my power bill and it’s...

Re: News & Discussion: Electricity Infrastructure
Do the high feed-in tariffs for home solar have end dates, or are they fixed forever until the wholesale price catches up? They were necessary two or three decades ago to establish the market, but are no longer available to new customers or installations. One of the benefits of the government's pro...

Re: News & Discussion: Electricity Infrastructure
No matter what the reasons for higher retail prices are, it's not because renewables are more expensive to install. They are cheaper and faster to deploy. The only coal plants being built worldwide are either by governments or guaranteed by taxpayers. The private sector won't touch them unless ther...

Re: News & Discussion: Adelaide City Council
There are dozens of permanent and temporarily fenced (or otherwise exclusionary) parks, clubs, ovals and playgrounds all over the parklands. Karen Rolton oval is the clearest example because it is literally just a couple of hundred metres away from Ellis Park, but the Adelaide Uni oval has had a fe...

Re: News & Discussion: CBD Retail
I remember when it opened. I'm not sure how many days it had been open when I first went there. Certainly not opening day but close to it. Dazzeland was packed. The line up for the Jazz Junction stretched around the entire floor and down to the floor below. I was lining up in it for ages and they ha...

Hey, am I the only person that sees the ugly little carpark next door? Would it be within budget to buy that, destroy it dramatically and replace it with a drive through drop off beach volleyball carpark museum bar and grill? I know the Unis were planning to build something there but they won’t eve...
