Canem Malum, well there is a lot of guess work in the figure 12.
No one will know just what that number is until someone tries to build
a system running only on solar and wind in a large country.
It is plain to see that renewables cannot do the job in a country as
small as Sth Australia.
There is just not enough weather difference in that available area.
People keep talking about batteries, but it is the scale of the
problem that destroys good ideas.
An industry group in the UK used the data for January 2016 to work out
how many batteries the size of Sth Australia's Tesla battery would be needed.
Remember that the UK has nuclear power backup.

Turned out they would have needed 14,000 batteries at $100,000 each.
I gathered from that article that it is easy to work out how many
batteries are needed for any grid.
The UK is probably too small to attempt renewables.
AEMO has all the data so they should
be able to do the calculation for Australia if they include WA.

I hope someone orders them to do it.

runner,

Give it a rest.

As I told ttbn some time ago - you've got the rest
of your life to continue to be a jerk.
Why not take today off?

runner you amaze me truly you do? how can you have lived so long and learned so little? mid terms will show even you Trump is a Chump

I certainly hope you are not right for once in your life Belly! Take a bex Foxy. I thought you would be over Hilary by now. I am glad you aren't with the rest of the dummy spitters in America.

runner,

Get over Trump. He's a disaster.

Absolute total disaster.

And so is Middle-America.

They deserve each other.

All we can do is hope that the rest of the country
turns up to vote at the next election - and kick
this lunatic out before he does even more damage.

As for Hillary Clinton?

Her time has long gone.

runner thanks, nice to know some things/posters never change, understand you have had a long wait but it may be even longer, waiting for your first original thought that is, mid terms, start looking foe reason for Trump getting hurt now
