but if you input the current situation to the models you will find that the outcome for solar is much more likely to outcompete nuclear, even if we were to suddenly change course and endorse nukes here. Solar has so much momentum behind it globally, the efficiency and cost advantages it already has are only going to widen.
Yet again, you ignore the availability and reliability factors. How does solar provide supply at night or on cloudy days? Before you say “batteries”, do some calculations (or models, if you prefer) on the quantity and cost of the batteries required to keep Australia going over a modest period of three days, with clouds and low wind.
And don’t be like your fellow idiot over at CL’s, who blandly states that there is no need for base load power. There is a base level of continuous, reliable, power needed to keep a modern civilisation going. Without it, such minor amenities as hospitals cease to function
Thanks Carpe. The tourism industry must be suffering horribly there.
That is an incorrect impression, M0nty. They have very real disabilities, both physical and mental.
But they do also have a very leftist view of the world, as do many poorer people who are angry about their disadvantages, and people with middle class leftist parenting (on one side anyway, not mine) where there was toleration of adolescent drug usage and lax attitudes re discipline and self-care.
The 70’s were like that in many leftist academic and political families. I have seen many casualties in the children of those times. For example, in the families of Bob Hawke, Neville Wran, and the very disturbed child of a well-known Labor politician who shacked up with my oldest son and produced my grandson who is now, with help, doing so well. No thanks to his Labor grandfather, who has done nothing for this grandchild and very little for his mentally ill daughter either. She relies a lot on me these days.
No more of this now or Joh really will have cause for complaint.
m0nty-fa
That is your opinion, Bruce. Models are human opinions, ultimately, based on assumptions which may or may not adhere to reality. They possess no magical quality.
Yet you are happy to rely on models to convince yourself that CO2 is going to roast the earth.
Yes, the case for solar in a post-coal world involves battery tech that hasn’t quite been invented yet. However, coal and gas CCS models have also operated on a LCA basis this way for yonks without much in the way of delivery on CCS tech. I would plonk my money down on batteries over fossil fuels CCS at this point, given that CCS keeps on coming up snake eyes and batteries have a lot of dice rolls in hand. China certainly has.
Perhaps “activists” and nitwits like you should not have rushed to demonise coal before they had a workable solution at least in sight, to solve the problem of producing reliable, continuous, electricity from inherently intermittent and unreliable sources?
You are correct about one thing, though. CCS has always been a wank to divert attention from the manifest inadequacies of ruinables. Batteries (on the necessary scale) are another such diversion.

What does “learned leftist antagonisms” mean? You make your sons sound like useless layabouts.

Of course. Malcolm Turnbull had the right take on this: as a matter of corporate governance, it is prudential to take into account these perceived risks. That is not to believe that the worst case scenario will happen if we do nothing, but the possibility that it could should motivate us to act to prevent it becoming true.

Reposted from old fred…
The only solution to externalities such as pollution is a consumption tax to account for it. Oh, look, we already have one. It’s called the GST.
It’s the only solution that could possibly work as it’s the only one that can EQUITABLY tax Chinese pollution. Any other solution relies on dodgy Chinese data.
You can change an equal amount to 15% and 5% to make changes net zero according to pollution involved in its production and provision, and sneakily tilt it towards Chinese goods without expressly doing so, ensuring plausible deniability.
Better still, no one on the left can plausibly reject it, and the only people worse off would be rich socialists and Teals. Let the old adage “be careful what you wish for” come true for them.
After all, it’s the kind of guy I am. No need to thank me.

The only rational approach to “Climate change” is to adapt to change as it occurs. All mitigation approaches simply waste time and resources following various “scares” down rabbit holes, many (most) of which turn out to be, in your eloquent word, “bullshit”.

no.
Risk has two components – impact, and probability of occurrence.
You address those things where (impact x probability) < (cost of mitigation) x (fudge number).
It is pointless mitigating for CO2-driven temperature rise as:
1/ impact is low or beneficial (warmth, greening)
2/ probability is not well known — given the craptastic models' relation to reality.
3/ cost of mitigation is enormous (developing world), or pointless (developed world vs. India and China)

Note that they call Yemeni a ‘right-wing commentator’ and describe Rebel News as ‘far-right media outlet’.
Yemeni might consider asking AW Today to tell us who they describe in publishing as a ‘left-wing commentator’ and what outlets are ‘far-left outlets’. If they can’t then they may need to reflect on their purported neutrality.
After that he could ask them to outline what precise beliefs make him ‘right-wing’ such that it readers must be told. They might find that right-wing beliefs resonate with much of their audience. They were in fact most people’s beliefs up until a few years ago when the MSM they would go off on ideological excursions to niche left-wing causes.
Another feature of Australia’s energy infrastructure that has been fucked up by politicians – in full sight of the problem.
Minister for Dim Bulbs, Madeleine King, is desperately trying to avoid paying AGL and Origin to keep burning coal:
The fact that Australia’s gas pipeline infrastructure can’t keep up with the physical supply of gas to the gas-fired power stations propping up renewables is nothing new. The Arts/Law graduates at AEMO monitor the situation – and gas producers have been pointing this problem out to government for years.
The Commonwealth government is certainly aware of the tight infrastructure/commercial blackmail opportunity – it was one of the strategic reasons for FIRB blocking CK Holding’s acquisition of APA Group.
Watch this space as the current takeover unfolds.

Apparently Anthony Albanese is calling for more civility by the MSM. I can’t stop laughing. The hypocrisy is jaw dropping. It’s worth noting that Mr Albanese never called for any civility over the last three years when Morrison was repeatedly crucified in a very uncivil manner by the left and the left leaning media over bushfires, Hawaii trip, floods, Christian Porter, an alleged rape in parliament house and so on. Morrison was smeared and targeted as being personally responsible for those events, so much for “civility”. Oh and I note that Albanese has never uttered one word of condemnation at the uncivil hatred and bile directed at the likes of Pauline Hanson and Tony Abbott over the years.
Ahhhh, there’s nothing like the stench of hypocrisy.
No, this call for civility means only two things…..
1. The “civility” is only applicable to Labor, Green and Teal politicians. It will continue to be an open season of uncivility on conservative politicians.
2. As Rita Panahi said last night on her programme…..press censorship.

Later, the owner/boss came by and, after introductions, I remarked that it was a fabulous establishment. “Thanks to my fabulous staff,” he replied, patting Grandie on her shoulder.

ACT has ‘100 per cent renewable’ electricity from today.

Interesting window into the psychology of the Greens.
Premier Daniel Andrews says Victorians can ‘make their own decisions’ after Greens proposed fresh face mask campaign (7 Jun)
It’s interesting because (a) masking has zero to do with anything in Green philosophy or agendas and (b) they don’t work anyway, as has been shown numerous times (indeed they’ve been found to be actually harmful in recent Italian data).
So why are they pushing them? I have no answer, but it shows conclusively they are scientific nitwits.
I remember Albo’ spruikin’ , ” no banks will invest in coal. it’ll be a stranded asset”. Yet Whitehaven Coal has gone up 95% in 1 year. And he wants to run a country with a $2 trill. economy ?

Not with repeated massive rate rises we won’t. What we’ll get is a wasteland of bankruptcies, failed mortgages and massive job losses.

Well, I wouldn’t be keen on investing in something the government might make illegal at the drop of a hat. Reckon that’s where coal sits. Might be why I keep reading maintenance gets delayed, or outright ignored. Why bother if it’s not going to see out the projected lifespan anyway?

Mr Brand warned the new powers will erode freedom within Canada.

Johannesburg – President Cyril Ramaphosa allegedly kept large sums of money in foreign currency, estimated to be $80 million (R1.24 billion), “concealed” under mattress and couches at his farm in Bela-Bela, Limpopo.
It has been established that the money was allegedly stolen by five Namibians who conspired with his domestic worker in February 2020.
Ramaphosa has allegedly failed to report the matter to any police station. Instead, he allegedly paid the suspects, including his domestic workers, R150 000 each not to reveal the incident to anyone after they were traced and apprehended.
Ramaphosa allegedly solicited the services of his head of the Presidential Protection Unit, Major-General Wally Rhoode, to investigate the matter without reporting it at any police station.

D’ya mean Johnny Depp? At an Indian joint in Birmingham? Fifty Thousand quid bill, for about two dozen people?
That’s about Four to Four & a half grand each, in our money.
Easily done. Especially for someone letting off steam after a tense few months of judicial tenterhooks.
Just depends how pricey the was the plonk. How many $10,000 bottles? How many $5,000 bottles?
He’s here all week.
Try the veal.
Pays well. 😀 Also a family business, as I found out later my grandad did the same stuff as I did.
I’ve uranium in my genes or something.
Incidentally today:
It’s what we’ve been saying for decades. The protoGreens enforced the linear no-threshold hypothesis so that all radiation is bad m’kay. The actual data supports the hormesis hypothesis, which the above study confirms. Another early example of Green ideology being intentionally unscientific for political advantage.
I suspect the Indian Restaurant bill story is from an Amber Heard supporter.
It was reported she was staying at a $25,000 per week mansion for the duration of the trial (and yet can’t pay the judgement debt).
Tit for tat perhaps? Although it’s possible, I doubt an Indian Curry house would be stocking $10k bottles of wine.
Three months of fighting does that. The shitposting of a month earlier has certainly turned bitter.

Great news: if you put vodka in your mower, your lawn is half cut.
You may be surprised.
What will really blow your mind is… when the price of Uranium goes over $500/kg it becomes economical to extract it from the ocean instead of land.
SATP – You need to attract victorious Hollywood actors to your establishment. Put out the word now that they’re welcome with all their friends.
For starters [boom tish], the restuarant doesn’t include prices on its menu.
Good trick that.
Now I only have lead pencles to blame.

What about cutting your neighbours grass?
Africans are finding out that their “blak” brothers are just as venal and corrupt as the white “bas” ever was.
Can a water desalination plant be re-purposed or dual-purposed for this use?
Just back from Syd-de-knee. Stayed at a hotel in Hyde Park. Was surprised to see behind a reception a big screen advertising the hotel …the happy couple enjoying the amenities were buffed and both had peni (plural of cock).
It was a bit …different.
Not that there’s anything wrong with that …according to others.
Not sure I’d want Amber at the Cafe though. The cleaning bills would be large, and that’s with most of my clientelle incontinent most days already. A noisy miner shat on my sleeve today. Ingrate.
Yeah, Lysenkoism never died, it just moved to the West.
BoN, the radiation hormesis thing also shows that trips to Mars will not be as dangerous from the radiation perspective as currently thought.
In other words, it’s not your average Birmingham Indian take away.
Not for Sydney.
Pommy curry houses are all over the shop. I was disturbed to find feathers in one example of the genre.
Did they charge extra for that?
mothballs are made of naptha, aren’t they? 🙂
There’s more energy in the de-sal plant’s mothballs than any uranium you’ll get out of them.
No No No, The hole was dug by the excavator, compacted the base with the drop hammer, lowered into the hole by a 20t Kato slung off the boom, back filled with a wheel loader and smoothed off with a bobcat with a smudge bar, lifted out with the tower crane.
See, that makes sense.
PS – you forgot to add in the labour component with the machine hire (4 to 6 hour minimum), no tendering for you.
Don’t thank me i’m a people person.
At least you knew it was a bird of some sort. Still not the worst meal I had in the UK.
C&P from the ol’ Fred, because I think I’m onto something here-
…
2001- terrorism is actually a new thing called “al-Qaeda”, and rampant control and surveillance of everyone is a good thing
2020- the sniffles is actually a new thing called “COVID”, and rampant control and surveillance of everyone is actually a good thing
2022- organized crime is actually a new thing called “n’Dragheta”, and rampant control and surveillance of everyone is actually a good thing.

Good wash-job for Andrews’ surveillance sweep.
Are you paying attention yet?
…
News Radio report made much of the ingenuity of planting algorithm software on mobiles and tracking financial transactions through banking. Yet it appears no arrests have been made, so it’s just another Big Brother dragnet which we can expect is probably already being planted into ordinary everyday aussies.

Seems he hired the whole restaurant – which seated over 300 people – for the evening, so he and his twenty or so guests could kick their heels up.
What’s the matter cohenite, are you overleveraged and panicking because you didn’t read the obvious signs over 12 months ago that this would happen?
Honestly, if you experience pain from interest rate rises reverting to historical norms then that was entirely your fault to begin with. Shouldn’t have bet your life on the bank funding your extravagant lifestyle. Live within your means, grasshoppers!
2dogs – theoretically a selective ion-exchange unit could do that. Use one with an affinity for uranium added onto the end of the desal modules, then once loaded take it off line and strip it with acid to produce a uranium solution.
Since you already have the pumping costs paid for (by the desal plant) the incremental addition of the IX elements would be easier to justify.
Not sure whether you would use selective IX membranes (which don’t exist but could be easily developed) or IX resin beads, which do exist. A fluidized-bed of the IX beads might be the best, as they’re off the shelf and the unit would just be a very big container with upward flow of the desal reject stream. The continuous resin-in-solution process is well known.
Still would need a serious U price to make it work. By comparison a monazite concentrate containing 10% thorium is very easy to produce from a mineral sands plant. Thorium metal for a reactor would be extremely cheap, much cheaper than U235.

Even tho Johnny Depp is a drug phuk’d 3 times looser ,who was dragged thru the court system by a vindictive ex and was humiliated by Barnaby Joyce for illegal puppy importing , I feel a lot in common with him. Except for being drug phuk’d and illegal puppy importing , that is.

Barney did the right thing by raiding the Treasury prior to his departure as funds were made available for a range of things which needed doing but had never been tackled. These include the new children’s hospital, the new stadium at Burswood, and major upgrades to the Tonkin Highway.
He had seen what happened federally when Rudd took over from Howard and squandered the massive savings accumulated by Howard and Costello so he started a range of projects rather than see it fritted away by a future Labor government.
In particular I respect him for the major capital upgrades at the Collie coal fired power station. The greeny zealots and the ALP shouted condemnation at him for upgrading a coal fired power station, nowadays there’s no praise for Barney that we now have the least expensive power in Australia and will continue to have this for many years to come thanks to Barney.

Murugappan family eyes its hometown Biloela fare

The Murugappan family will begin their journey back to Biloela with a renewed focus on a future in Australia, and toying with the idea of opening an Indian restaurant in the regional Queensland town with which they are now synonymous.
Whatever deaths occur from the people smuggler resumption can be laid firmly at the feet of these queue jumpers and their nauseating supporters.
My worst find in a half-eaten curry was a band-aid. The waiter was neither surprised, nor particularly apologetic.
He asked if I wanted another serving.
Err, no thanks, given it would probably come out of the same cauldron.
Had to ask him to take it off the bill at the end.
LOL. Had a nice chuckle over that.
The average unthinking jab junky Australian moron wouldnt be capable of developing and running a manufacturing plant.
