The war against renewable energy

Yeah, imagine if the Feds started down this path 10 years ago. Could have been so much further advanced. Now a nuclear deflection is the latest derailment.
imagine if we had invested in UNSW solar technology instead of allowing it be stolen by foreign student who.was then supported by his government to dominate the industry

I'm not familiar with that


This was back in 2001 and took a brave entrepreneur and government to take a risk on this tech - pretty much a decade before it was even close to profitable.

Australia doesn't have that entrepreneurial spirit (outside of the laziness of digging shit out of the ground), so like many inventions, we would have failed to commercialise it.
 
Since Labor was elected in 2022, we've brought online new electricity that is the equivalent of more than 3 entire Snowy Hydro schemes

Well shit....the Snowy Scheme depends how much it rains so that's a really dumb thing to throw out there. I really hope you aren't completely confusing things by talking about installed capacity.
How about Australia used more wind power last year than hydro power, but we couldn't use it when it wasn't windy?
 
So the decision is to have 95% renewables… the cost of the gas compared to going 100% renewables is what needs to be worked out.
In order to cover that 5% we might need an extra 50% renewables.

you only have to google LFCCOE which is relevant at the even 95%, let alone 100, you are referencing to appreciate this is not feasible with current technologies $500/MWh to $1500 is often quoted

the same people behind the transfer of tech are behind extracting $2B from our own government now

China's local governments are tapped out and many broke, thus the global hunt for more dollars is on. Our own government has already been conned.

What was the cost of subsiding fossil fuels for the last 10 years?
