The war against renewable energy

[nut]

I’ll be getting myself one for home next year I reckon. It’s time.

I’ve got one… only regret I didn’t get bigger.
Average out your night time use and add 50%… I went sungrow 19.2.
Research sigenergy …
And put as much solar on your roof that you can… even south if you have to.
Use Solarquotes.com.au

Oh and join amber…

Thnx mate yeah roof is full of solar which is good. Battery is next. I’ll take a look at sigenergy.

Massive call on your behalf, not sure if you have the expertise to make it.

There are some under development.
If it all goes as planned this one is aimed for 2033.

How passenger electric planes could become a reality within the next decade

Researchers have found a way to make passenger airplanes that operate on 100% electric power.

abcnews.go.com

it would be a far more amazing period to witness if we had a fast train melbourne to sydney. ( further range and faster ).
Something other countries have had for 60 years. Such a train would be faster than a propellor driven aircraft.

France bans short-haul flights to cut carbon emissions

All domestic air routes are stopped where the same journey could be made by train in under 2.5 hours.

--------------------------
Decarbonizing flights with fewer than 500 miles, however, would likely only address about 1% of all emissions originating from air travel, Mukhopadhaya said. The airline industry accounts for just about 3% of total annual global emissions.
-------------------------

As far as existing aircraft that work .
This one flys for 50 minutes, barely faster than a car (180km/h ) , one passenger, 50 minutes flight.
They may be used for flight schools, so technically "commercial aircraft".

This one "appears" to be nearly ready, 9 seater , 500km ish range ( after lots of promises earlier that they backed away from ). Bare in mind though, it can take 5-9 years to get all the approvals needed for commercial operation.

Switching from batteries to hydrogen improved drones in the Ukraine from 4 hours to 16 hours.

This improved kill rates as EW could not be deployed against them as well, as they could acts like a conveyor belt maintaining line of sight of each other.

Pure silicon anode batteries were just as good but crazy expensive at USD$50k per tonne just for the raw materials

You wont lose out by delaying your decision. Prices will only come down and once solar install saturation occurs, then the government will start heavily subsidising battery installs.

For sure mate. That was going to be my next query, was government subsiding.. I’m assuming they are doing a portion of the cost already?

All that fed and state subsidies that is sitting there as solar installs are slowing down.

Up to $4k in NSW already. Plus VPP rebates as well.
Battery packs will continue to fall.. if only they were falling as fast as EV batteries.

China installing massive amounts of solar and batteries

China installing massive amounts of solar and batteries

More renewable is a terrific thing and should be encouraged by all governments but how much of the CCPs advantage is through the use of slave labour. We need to look at other sources for renewable technology until the CCP enters the modern era for human rights.

Not a lot actually, but there seem to be some pretty unethical operators there ( Plastic in the baby formula anyone ), who will take advantage over anything that's not enforced.
Most of the slave labour took place in outlying regional places in China, and the government there have been pretty embarrassed by it and will be trying to stamp it out.

However i can't see where BYD have committed to external audits like some organizations do.

Their subby obviously thought that "what happens in Brazil , stays in Brazil ".

When you read this, i wonder if the Chinese company was "busted" due to resentment of brining in Chinese workers, rather than locals.

Brazil’s Combat Against Modern Slavery Has An Enforcement Problem

On February 23, Brazilian authorities rescued 207 victims in conditions akin to modern slavery. The men had been harvesting grapes for a service provider to Brazil’s leading wine producer and two other renowned Brazilian vineyards.

Like panels, and before that, computers, prices will drop significantly, likely lover the next 4 years. After that, the price will plateau, but you'll only get better system specs over time. I suspect in 4 years, you'll have deals to install 10kw of home battery for $1,500.
