WTF?

Still wrong mhaze.

One thing I can assure you of is that I never (and I do mean never) source from youtube and certainly do not follow the links to youtube on OLO.

So maybe just a school boyesque blunder on your part.

And I do mean blunder as the three sources are all mentioned at the start of the thread. If you need to go to youtube rather than the sources themselves it is no wonder you struggle.

I have clarified what I mean mhaze and I'll follow that up in my next post so that you can understand.

I still stand by the fact that I gave you three sources at the start of the link (one of which you referred to) so your assertion that "this habit of trying to hide how bad his sources are by not mentioning them" is pure nonsense.

As an aside in his previous post ttbn mentions a "recent study". He does not mention the source but it took me all of 5 seconds to see that he was referring to an article on the Institute of Public Affairs web site.

Now that's what living in the real world can look like.

mhaze - now the follow up I mentioned.

I'll use a real world example so that you don't get yourself into a tizz.

Back on 26th August this year I was posting on a thread that our host Graham started.

Graham made this statement: " I can remember a time when an industry organisation actually stood up against a government except around the edges."

I responded, in part, by saying "So it appears that Graham's default position is that industry organisations should stand up against government regardless of the policy. I would suggest that industry and government being constantly opposed to each other would benefit neither."

Graham responds with: "Thanks WTF, you quoted an obvious typo on my part - "can't" fits better into the sentence than "can". So that's part of the mystery solved."

Now how did I respond? Did I suggest that Graham "gets it wrong or deliberately falsifies it" as you responded to me?

The answer of course is No.

My response was: "I think typos are part and parcel of posting. Thanks for the clarification."

No cheap attempt at an undergraduate level "got ya! moment but an acknowledgement and a thank you for the clarification.

This is an example how a mature and adult debate takes place.

I imagine that Graham and myself differ on a number of topics but still take the time to to seek and accept what the other says when clarification is required.

If you think that is too high a standard for you to aspire to I can assure you it is not.

The unreliable, expensive energy lobby is in panic mode. So is Albanese. Bowen is too stupid to notice.

The Coalition has to go further than just dumping Net Zero; emissions reductions - the myth of man-made climate change - have to go too.

But, even the scrapping of Net Zero has the hysterics getting even more hysterical.

The wild and silly shouting by climate morons will only get worse as their stupidity is finally being challenged in Australia, as it has been in more enlightened countries for some time.

For the non-political corporate investors in the renewables shame, it means big losses are on the way. The far left Albanese government and Teal and Green stooges look like losing their ideological suck blanket and the biggest virtue-signalling opportunity ever.

They are going down, and they will be screaming all the way to the bottom.

Still trying to hide where you regurgitated this from WTF?

The info is so vague I can't really blame you. But selectively quoting and misquoting ephemeral data isn't really all that honest.

And trying to make it seem much worse than it is by failing to mention that the calculations are about claimed CUMULLATIVE losses over 25 years rather than losses in one year isn't a good look.

But I suspect that no matter how many websites I find that use the same data you are selectively relying on, you'll continue to assert that wasn't the one. All very childish.

Still, 3 youtube reports all using the same obscure reports (well two of three obscure) as you used and you assert that they had nothing to do with your research!! Oh look up there... a flock of pigs just flew by.

I suspect that our whole economic system is destined for disaster.
I thought this when I first heard we were committed to install
28,000 polar panels a day for 8 years and 40 windturbines a month for
8 years.
I remember I wrote on hearing it, "didn't any public servant pick up
his own hand calculator to realise it is impossible.
I wrote that the number of trucks and workers needed to be on site
and to be fed and accommodated in all these locations is impossible.
WELL I TOLD YOU SO !

They believed in fairies and so allowed some power stations to be blown up !
Now they are in a position where they cannot get them all installed
before the economy needs the power so it follows the natural law.
The economy will collapse because we will run out of money & electricity.
