The Nuclear debate

[SaintsSeptember]

The focus on consumer EVs not commercial uses is a big missed opportunity.

Half the greenhouse and pollution comes from commercial. And that sector has a wider array, of financing options


Emissions from sparsely used ICE cars aren’t much more than similarly used EVs in the deployment phase. They spend almost all their lives parked in driveways

The whole EV thing is driven by people who want to help, and are pretty much restricted to what they can do.

NEWSFLASH.
Just because you intend to go and scavenge cheap electricity to charge your car during peak solar times, so that you can take it home and top up your battery later, does not mean that most people will use their EV's in this manner.

You have no evidence to support your repeated claims .

I'd suggest most people will get home from work and plug their car in. They will get up in the morning and drive it to work.
I also have no evidence, my crystal ball is broken, but its no less correct than your assertion.

I’m a believer in incentives like saving a shit load of money, and when people understand that they are saving money and helping the transition then they’ll do it.

And yes you’ll just come home from work and plug your car in.. you’ll have your minimum reserve set and your house will use some small amount of power to get you through the peak period… then you’ll go to work and plug your car in… or simple drive over a wireless charger and top up on days where energy will be close to free because of excess solar.
Rinse repeat.

I’m predicting wireless charges will be able to move from one car to another automatically charging multiple cars during the day.

Dutton’s ‘brave’ nuclear bet relies on coal plants. Their owners are concerned — The Age

Opposition Leader Peter Dutton’s energy plan is for coal plants to keep running until nuclear is built. But the coal owners need answers.

Why do you think employers will give you such facilities?
Employers in cities don't even know where the employees park, except for a few upper managers.

I'm predicting that your predictions are wrong. Going to put a time frame on it?

The coal plants are going to be dead in 5-10 years - all requiring massive maintenance programs and upgrades.

Has Dutton mentioned who will pay for that?

If EV's take off as predicted, we'll need that electricity and someone will pay for it.
More likely though, Australians will continue buying 3 tonne shopping utes.

Why do I think employers will want people to help save the planet? To save the planet.

We do need policies to help…. But I think it’ll make financial sense ….

Wether it’s work car parks or pay for car parks, anywhere cars are stationary for a long period of time will have some sort of charging ability…

Right now we have the majority of the power supply we need… we just can’t use it because we can’t store it.
The last 6 days have seen negative FIT so my system and thousands more, including solar farms have exported virtually nothing…
