A drop in the bucket is a private mans ambition.
100 m coming from green energy, Electricity storage that does not generate a single kWh. It is not supposed to. Just maybe it will save energy dumping.
You need to look further ahead.
The amount of wasted power only pushes up costs. Deck head.

Luciferase,

Just to continue the OT a bit further; we in Australia, don't know what cold is really like.
A friend of mine was in Canada and saw some workmen in full winter gear standing by a manhole in the street, as it was a summer day she asked why. She was surprised to be told that the men were about to go down into the permafrost.

She later stayed in houses that had a cupboard over a hole that went down to the permafrost, the coldness of the food was regulated by the depth to which it was lowered by a windlass.

SM is talking absolute rubbishy again. SA.does not dump power. Absolute frogs warble.
SA has to dump power every time the sun shines or the.wind blows. The missing link is storage. Or cut supplying with Victoria. This shat was not heard of until they interconnected all eastern states.

In order to make the great SA experiment work Vic/NSW/Qld have to soak up SA excess generation whenever it presents, the rest of us must pay for storage through https://arena.gov.au/media/arena-and-cefc-support-solutions-for-certainty-of-energy-supply-including-flexible-capacity-and-large-scale-energy-storage/, an "emergency" gas fired turbine must be built with public money and run on gas where royalties are diverted from the state to farmers, on top of every other subsidy from the RET, FiT, solar rebates, research grants, quarantined gas prices, and much more.

The ideologues are dragging us down their dead-end path, which will become eventually become apparent. The result will be very little change to emissions through the whole cycle from manufacture to generation and storage, decommissioning/replacement/recycling.

It is sheer madness. Greens have stonkered the chance of ever dealing with AGW. I thank them so much for this and all their other contributions to Australian life.

God help us.
