Nothing I said is bordering on “miss information”. It’s all true.
If we were serious about “net zero” we’d be all in on nuclear. It’s the only way to it.
No shit. Coal works at night though.
Where are they getting the power grid from? These Co-ops going to raise and spend literal trillions of dollars making the infrastructure?
You know why it hasn’t been done? Because there isn’t a plan where it works. The maths doesn’t math.
No that’s not what they’re saying. They’re saying that generating loads and loads of power when no one needs it is leading to power companies having to charge people for feeding into the grid to stop them from doing so, instead of paying them.
Solars biggest problem is that without batteries it’s basically useless now, and grid scale batteries don’t exist, and there’s no real outlook where they are.
Turning your lights and aircon on for 8 hours during the day isn’t going to light and cool your house after dark. .
Having solar panels does not mean “they” can’t cut your power off and ruin your life.
The sun doesn’t shine 24/7, and the amount of batteries you’d need to be able to be completely off grid is prohibitively expensive.
“They” still have you by the balls.
Solar panels require mining and non-renewable materials to make, and are economically non-recyclable, meaning they end up in landfill.
No, the problem at the economic level is that solar generates the large majority of its power when it’s not needed. Power companies don’t need the power because there is massive excess, so they will start charging for feed-in.
It’s like if you got a 20kW solar panel setup but didn’t have batteries and are at work all day every day - yeah you generated a shit-tonne of power, but you didn’t use it, couldn’t store it, and you still have to buy electricity as soon as the sun goes down, only now with shrinking profit for the power companies due to excess solar during the day, they charge you now for power at night, meaning you’re power bill increased after getting solar.
We’re already at the part where solar power is like trying to sell ice to Eskimos.
No, it’s not racism lol. It’s like you didn’t read a single word I wrote.
Why would anyone want the CGT discount removed from shares and other non-housing investments though? Those affect renters too. It’s just another tax grab on money that the government has no right to tax.
I’m fine with removing the discount on housing, but there’s no justifiable reason to remove it from everything else. If it’s about housing like they said, why does it apply to shares?
They’ve also done nothing to address the actual biggest issue - supply and demand. Nothing to increase supply, nothing to decrease demand.
HDR is not “imperceptible”.
Also you talk about playing competitive games, yet you are on Linux, an OS where most of the popular competitive games aren’t available?
It’s literally where we’re at in Australia. Right now. As we keep pushing for more and more “renewables”. Prices keep going up. Feed-in goes into negative, meaning you pay the power company to export your solar power to them.
I’m sure it’s just a coincidence.
