Why do you people always have to include insults in your responses to reasonable questions? Solar panels and wind turbines require regular maintenance and they are dispersed which means more people need to travel greater distances to perform that maintenance. You are trying to convince me they requ...

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 Satur...

No, you're missing the point. This shouldn't be a debate about which party when in government fucked up what project, which is what half the posts you guys have made since yesterday were basically ranting about. One guys ranting about covid vaccines, another guy about snowy hydro 2. Nope. It's abou...

lol, do people not realise that approving one parties policy does not automatically bind you to that party? Like, it is actually possible to not be aligned with a political party and still approve of some of their policies Nope. But if that party cannot deliver on its promises, you are wasting your...

Some of you really need to just put each other on ignore lol. The focus shouldn't be what each party has or hasn't done when in government. What the focus should be on is what is in the national interest, for us consumers, for industry, for future industry etc. Instead we're having debates, not jus...

Why do you assume I'm a fan of the coalition? "bungled the vaccine rollout" this is my favourite ALP talking point :hilarious: which booster are you up to? Why would you assume I assume you are a fan of the Coalition? It was the Coalition that spruiked nuclear, was it not? Therefore, logi...

oh boy here we go again another ALP stooge parroting party propaganda Lol. So, in your reality, the Coalition actually succeeded? Fibre to the node worked? The French subs are built? We actually got extra water from the Murray Darling Basin Plan? Snowy Mk2 is now commissioned for $2bn? The Inland R...

It is grating, isn't it. I'm happy to dial it to whatever the poster I've replied to has set it. In this case it was abc, who got a serve of his own medicine. As for the smug part, I have to admit there's almost no way to avoid sounding condescending sometimes. However, I am happy to take advice. A...

You missed the part where we have a National Energy Market. You missed the part where generation is only part of the bill. You missed the part where it's now no longer 1950, and Sir Thomas Playford controlled energy prices through government ownership of ETSA. Remind me. Who was it that dismantled ...

gas is keeping your aircon running tonight I missed the part where all the manufacturers were moving their factories to SA to take advantage of the cheap 'green' energy... https://pbs.twimg.com/media/GIJMh-VbsAA4Wsn?format=jpg&name=large You missed the part where we have a National Energy Marke...

Your bill is high, but apparently high gas prices and decrepit coal plants with huge repair bills have nothing to do with it? Right. Considering it pretty much started kicking off around the time we started replacing power stations with wind/solar farms, then yeah, most probably Also, if it’s all c...

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...

Show us your detailed costings then. Not just cherry picked and wishywashy conversions and screenshots. Show us proof. Hard proof. Not from some blatantly biased source, a neutral source. Lets just pretend this isn't in the article eh? What would this guy know eh? How relevant is nuclear power when...
