The politicians are all rabbiting on and on about how cheap wind and
solar is. True the source of energy is cheap but the cost of using it
on the scale we need is beyond our means.

There is a really good solution, the modular reactors. Here is is
information on Rolls Royce's system of factory built power stations.

There is a video showing the assembly.
Just put them where grid and switch yards are already installed.
That on its own would save $2Trillion.
There is only one catch that I can see;
by the time we get our politicians
to act there will be a very big queue at Rolls Royce.

Don't worry Bazz. China will copy them & churn them out at half price. Plenty for us, if we beg hard enough.

We would not have a "power problem" in the first place if it hadn't been for the lies about carbon dioxide and climate change.

The political class, Liberals and Labor (can't blame the 8% Greens who have no power of their own and are just parasites) caused the price of power to rise with their idiotic climate hysteria and promises of zero emissions of the essential-for-life carbon dioxide.

Now, these same idiots, having caused massive increases in electricity prices, are going to spend consumers own taxes (plus borrowed money) to 'ease the pain' that they have caused. It doesn't get madder than that. Well, apart from ripping the environment and productive land to pieces to build frightfully ugly wind and solar farms.

The is no 'solution' to this kind of madness because people mad enough to do what our politicians have done are too far gone to accept that anything needs solving.

When we finally become part of the Third World, and the maniacs who put us there are dead, maybe, just maybe, future generations might 'discover' what we have thrown away and be able to crawl back.

Indeed ttbn & Hasbeen; I recently received a new contract from Origin.
To my horror it showed a 65% increase in power rates !
I am currently looking elsewhere.

If the Libs want to get reelected in NSW they should announce that
they will takeover Liddel on 28th April !

There's no moral, technical or other justification to keep on giving in to this greed !
It's time these companies & their bosses are given a shake-up !

If the Libs want to get re-elected. I don't think they do want to get re-elected. They are certainly not acting as if they do. The joint will be well and truly wrecked before they stir their stumps, led by what's-his-name-again?
