Re: News & Discussion: Electricity Infrastructure

There was a lot of wind last night so the prices were reasonable when the sun went down So when there is not a lot of wind one night and go to this site to see the gas price....it will probably be three times as expensive. Gas companies making as much money as possible before renewables and batteri...

Re: News & Discussion: Electricity Infrastructure

if you move house, or upgrade your solar system or add batteries etc, the tariff ends. Realistically though, how would they know if you replaced panels like for like and kept the capacity of the system the same? The inverter's a different story as that, I think, needs to be registered and the new o...

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. I'm not sure of the answer re: end dates fo...

Common sense has prevailed and the Comets have their fence & pitch upgrades approved after the matter was brought back to council last night:

[COM] Re: The Switch - 203 North Terrace | 119m | 35 levels | Student Accom

God this building is an abomination, how it was approved on our premier terrace is beyond me. Communist tower chic. If communists were building something on North Terrace, it would have an amazingly bold facade with a gigantic colourful mural showing farmers and miners and teachers and soldiers all...

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 fen...

It all seems very similar to the Peter Van Party Man shenanigans on Daws Rd a few years ago.

Re: News & Discussion: Trams

Interesting that you bring up Amsterdam. I can tell you that it has a lot less car traffic, although the traffic that is on the road is essentially constrained because the city was built in the 12th Century so impossible to accommodate more cars or an extensive bus system due to the narrowness of t...

[PRO] Re: New Adelaide Aquatic Centre | $135M

You can tell that the person doing the drawings has never spent any time at an actual public pool - the picture of the outdoor paddling pool shows children playing in the full sun. No parent will allow that. All those kids would be (quite rightfully) under the shady bit! Which brings me to my point ...

Despite the official bidding process not even beginning yet, it's looking more and more likely that the 2034 WC host has already been chosen in favour of FIFA's favourite oil rich buddy, Saudi Arabia: https://www.theguardian.com/football/2023/oct/09/fifa-stadium-rule-relaxed-saudi-arabia-world-cup-2...

[PRO] Re: Grange-Holbrooks-East Ave Dog Leg

Whilst this upgrade is overdue, if this is to be considered as a second arterial long term, either end of Holbrooks and east ave are also dogleg intersections. Port Road and Henley Beach Rd’s intersections will be much more difficult to address, and coukd become problematic if more traffic is funne...

[PRO] Re: Grange-Holbrooks-East Ave Dog Leg

Would it kill them to put in bus priority which will speed up Grange Road bus services and encourage people to use public transport. Also on Holbrooks Road it wouldn't take much to make it from 1 lane in each direction to 2 lanes in each direction, lines could be painted over a week or two The dual...

Re: Sir Donald Bradman Drv / Marion Rd Upgrade

A tram down HBR would do well in supporting the current and future mobility of the ageing demographic there, and then also encouraging future redevelopment of the corridor as a high street between Holbrooks Road and South Road. Just think of the cluster of commercial activity focused around Drakes....

Re: News & Discussion: O-Bahn

Sigh. In the industrial revolution, coal, water driven mill wheels, and wood were the competing energy sources in the UK. Coal was more efficient then than its competitors, so it prevailed. Sort of OT, but one of the main reasons coal became a primary energy source in Britain (and not elsewhere in ...
