Official Match Thread Season 38, Round 18 Gumbies FFC v Sin City Swamprats at The House of Gumby

[Mop]

Why isn't electricity free yet? Like we have all this sun and wind?

I would happily pay $10k upfront for infrastructure if it meant unlimited (within reason) electricity forever.

Stick a ****ing little windmill in my backyard - it'd look great.

Little? Don't hold back. Go a big **** off number that you can see from 10 k's away. Feel the turbines.

Big game this week GotTheGoodes.

 

[Falconista]

I thought we discussed my knees weren't up to this, Skip.

If we don't 'pull a purple' and get through to next week, I'll change it then.

You're in for an easy week on field anyway, bring a compact or something shiny and okeydoke will get distracted by their own reflection.

I had a crazy year commissioning a project dragging renewables 20 to 30 years into the future. We have a number of products that places existing batteries, semiconductors and fossil fuels all at risk.

Fingers crossed

glad i only got 2 yrs left of work then

until then everyone please buy BIG V8s and drive more ....

If we do pull a purple, I'll retire in shame

Best not let me down, Skip!

This excites me.
Australians use more energy per capita than anywhere else.
We need to be better.
People worry about the financial cost, if we do it well, we will be financially better off very soon.

Not quite. a wikipedia search shows QATAR is higherst,

Qater 194,222 Kw/H per capita

ICeland 165.871

Bahrain 161,111

UAE 148,577

Australia in 17th Postion 63,459

I guess we could aim to be the lowest

Somalia 217 kW/Hr per capita

Iceland somewhat surprises me - be curious to know more about how their energy usage is distributed

Because if that was down to their location where they have endless days of light in summer & darkness in winter and how residents try to counter that, I would have thought we’d see countries like Greenland also higher on the chart

Greenland is not a country

 

[Falconista]

Greenland is not a country

It has autonomy though.

 

[cats_09]

Greenland is not a country

It's the largest island in the world though

It also has a surprising number of international airports

Western Australia probably has an international airport… BUT the Sandgropers haven’t seceded yet

Good way to miss the point.

 

[damicky]

Good way to miss the point.

I made more than one point very effectively:

Greenland is NOT a Country

Just because Greenland has international airports doesn’t make it a Country
