Foxy that is the point I have been making, renewables are cheaper until
you have to guarantee 100% 100% of the time.
No one has modeled it in real time, using real wind speed and solar at
sites all around the area of the grid, over a couple of years at least.
It can be modeled using weather stations on prospective sites.
If the grid area is halved I think the duplication is increased four times.
It is like saying my car is cheap to run petrol only costs $5 a week.

What about these LNP jokers in Canberra, They've put 600,000, probably more, Australians on the unemployment scrap heap, while putting the rest of Australia in the poor house with another $200 billion of debt! Done all this in about four weeks! THE ECONOMIC GURUS!

'What about these LNP jokers in Canberra, They've put 600,000, probably more'

says Mr lockdown everything except public servant salaries.

Hi Paul,

Yes, if only they had left it all alone, even if a few hundred thousand Australians died, taking 'one for the team', from this so-called pandemic (which is probably fake news), which after all has killed barely a hundred here, so why do we need any health services for if they are going to be idle 99 % of the time ? The cost of all that !

Not to mention the cost of an extra 600,000 now unemployed.

Come to think of it, with all of the unnecessary expense on 'defence', when we haven't been even threatened militarily for decades - why can't we do without that too ? And as for country roads, don't get me started ! Empty, most of the time: why not require drivers to make do with only, say, 5 % of the roadways ?

And schools empty for 85 % of the time. All that unnecessary expense ! Money taken out of the pockets of the poor just to employ the spoilt darlings of the rich ?

Overthrow society NOW ! Take it all from the rich and give to the poor NOW !

Joe

LOUDmouth,

Sounds like you've been hitting the Wuhan Bat Soup. I think you better lay off the heavy stuff for a while because you are really starting to scare me with your "We don't do this" and 'We don't do that" attitude. Is that really how you want smart people like me to see you?

Spot on Joe, what about South Aussie, got 6.9% of the population, but has 7.2% of the unemployed. There must be some double dipping going on. BTW what do they want roads for? Leave the village of Adelaide, and your into the desert. BBTW they had an earthquake down there today, me thinks it was a 10.9 on the wacko scale, whatever they call it, all it did was scare a flock of galah's and make a couple of kangaroos nervous! Some say after the quake the whole place broke away from the rest of us, and is now floating south towards' Antarctica, get your winter woolies out Joe. Got down to 7 degrees in the village this morning, more evidence you're heading south, get in your row boat and head to sunny Queensland before its too late. I'll put ya on the books and get ya 1500 bucks a fortnight, and shout you a couple of beers as well!
