well that's it then....we drill down to the core...pump salt water in....we get the steam to drive the turbines and the core uses the salt as fuel

Bazz is right. Renewables is and always has been a fantasy. Those in the know will tell us that the size and nature of these 'green' power generators, would be so out of scale in both size and amenity. The green dreamers are living in a factual void and believe in the mantra, 'build it and they will come'. Well the technology and ideas have not yet been realised or imagined that will produce the kind of power we require and at the reliability we require it. This current talk of batteries is so one hundred years ago, it shows us just how stupid pollies and the greens, really are. With enough power stations co-operating with each other, if there is a problem with one power station they simply isolate that one from the grid and the others take the load. The 'others' form the battery. The problem we are facing is greed. The power industry was sold off and all these criminals are holding the country to ransom. eg; South Aust. We should never have allowed the sale of national services like power and water, just to name two. I strongly endorse the repatriation of these 'public' utilities forthwith. Unfortunately for the dreamers the immediate and short term solution to the energy problem IS coal. It ticks all the boxes, if only the green dreamers would just shut up and actually look at the problem with an open mind and not a mindset. Currently there is no other better technology than nuclear which again ticks all the long term boxes. While the public sit on their hands and believe what the pollies are telling them, we will get no-where. We have given in to the stupid green movement, who BTW are just another political party trying to make themselves relevant, we have created these 'green' power sources. The stupidity and irony of these people is, that they push for an inefficient and under producing costly system and create a huge visual pollution as a result.
