You have been left in the dark mate, Solar panels have been operating for 45 years and still producing power.
Wind turbines use power for air conditioning of the electrical components, when there aint no wind ,it gets power from a battery.
2 gigantic solar farms in vic, not only a power station a tourist attraction. There is no govt; money involved, except feed in tarrif.
The installer is also the retailer.
You get subsidized for home solar, and hot water solar, but when you get solar hot water, make it a big one and use the hot water for winter heating.

There is a process for extracting co2 from flue gasses, namely coal fired power station gas, C2 H4 OHNH2 + H2O + CO2 < > C2 H4 OHNH3 + HCO3. The end product is then ready for storage. Hope this is helpful.

mate your giving opinion
not fact that we can confirm or refute

you admit the feedin tarrif
and over simplify extracting the c02
[who have collected much cash..and havnt done it

that aircon con...mate the cost of batteries
puchas/service..makes that suggestion insane

name names ol mate
your wheels are spinning as bad as your opinions

those who know too much
are getting in on the scam

and its a scam mate
unmless you collect AND USE ...ONLY your own power
ALL OF YOU STILL HOOK INTO COAL power..when the sun dont shine

put that into that dark place
you keep your mind in

get off the system
go exclusivly solar..*

or your in it..
for the buy back
tarrif slush fund

getting double for the day input
and discount at night..*off the grid

stand on principle
if its feasable financially

*[and you say it is]
stop govt picking winners..and let 'the market decide'

no more gifts
to scamers and decievers

no more wasted govt funded adverts
we are not decieved

so save your paid adverts

The batteries for home use cost no more than a car battery, Deep cycle marine batteries $ 150 ea. and 10 year service. I am 90% solar, a couple more batteries and 100% +. Solar panels are half price now, For $600 ea you can get a 200 watt panel. Mad not to. Solar heating and solar cooling, why not. Power companies have opened large can of worms now, so may as well take advantage of it.

The climate skeptics, are not only skeptical, but they deny any change as important. NASA is full of science and they have the equipment and finance to make scientific revelations.
Sea level is rising at 3.27mm / yr
co2 concentrations highest in 650,000 yrs
co2 = 391 parts / million
.9c rise in sea water temp since 1880.
global temp 2,000 --2,009 warmest on record.
Greenland ice loss doubled between 1966 -- 2005 100 billion tons / yr
Arctic ice decrease 11.5 % / decade. All items are measurable.
Sea water is brine, which allows colder freezing temperatures
The sea water surrounding the arctic, or beneath the arctic is fluid and with an increase of .9 c that is enough for increased ice melt, and this increase in temp is increasing the momentum of ice melt.
Carbon particles in the atmosphere are effecting weather patterns, along with a higher sea temperature. Nature has been compromised,
European countries are bankrupt, and can not expect much momentum from them for the time.

It is incredible that when the opportunity suites the structure of conversation goes from Carbon to Co2. Carbon is caused from fossil fuels, it's black and a carsonagenic, which is visible and measurable. Co2 is invisible and sustains life in measured doses. Carbon is blamed for the rise in sea temps; Co2 is at it's highest level for 650,000 yrs.
Nasa measured this by drilling deep into ice shelf and measuring the carbon age and quantity. Carbon is a corse of potassium in broken down form. Co2 has a use as a refrigerant and dry ice. Both components have a use, but not in the wild.
