Does matter as the threads name says it powers it. A few years ago when i was working with wtgs a friend who worked for tge council said that the ACC used completely renewable power. I told her when there is no wind at night the oower was coming from gas 15km down tge road. Not her fault, just had been mislead. One of there supplies was a solar farm at Streaky Bay about 700 km away. The issue is it hides from the public how hard the transition is going to be as we get more intermittent generation on the grid and it takes away from the communitys that host these sites and are really using rnewable electricity. You can't even see a wtg from the adelaide metro area. You can see plenty of instaled gas as you cruise around the NW of the city.

There is a lot more to a grid then just the electricity. Your figures dont allow for storage, artificial inertia, tranmission gt back up. Otherwise Sa would have the cheapest electricity in the country. So you cant give me a country. Sa grid is smallest on the NEM (maybe Tassie) so a big difference to a country

Doesnt really matter what is backing up getmany but it shows how far intermittent generation is behind. Sweden was considering not signing a contract for an interconnector to Germany because it pushes electricity prices up in the south of the country. Not sure what ended up there, haven't heard. All those countrys you mentioned have a heap of traditional hydro or geothermal. I specified wind and solar like Australia is attempting to do. Aust has only 8% traditional hydro and not likely to get more. Again name a country that has cheap power delivered to the consumer and close to net 0 using a wind and solar dominated grid? Have a look at electricitymaps and see the countrys that are doing the best with net 0

France would be supporting them even with fossil fuels. They thing is they are supporting their failing intermittents with carbon free nuclear. On Australia's situation, name me a country anywhere in the world that has cheap electricity deliverd to the consumer and got close to net 0 using a grid made up of wind and solar. Australia has only 8% traditional hydro. Germany has 170Gws of instaled wind and solar for a max grid demand of 65 GW and still imports from other countrys. We have no other country. SA last week had a few days where we could have doubled our wind and solar and it still would not have been enough, yet we say we are 70% intermittents. How much is that last 30% going to cost and if we did triple our generation to get that last little bit, there will be a lot of plant laying around doing nothing in the part of the year when the fuel for the intermittents is good. Underutilised plant = $$$$. Ask any earthmover, aircraft owner

Bhp part of albos mob!

So is that at night as well, batterys or creztive accounting?

A lot of mining is already disconnected from the grid. I'm surprised there is not more solar and wind tied directly to them as it would cut down the price of diesel as well as freight. The wtg company I worked for was in talks with a couple, but nothing came of it.

Pity industry will have trouble disconnevtibg to the grid. The more people that disconnect the harder it will be to compete. China are laughing there heads off i reckon

Making large steps in nuclear power development as well as India

All sides They all have people lobbying talking bribes with them. Do you really believe different

Unfortunately that is human nature for most people.

Do we know how many eligable voters vote?

Finke is a free for all but they still have a womens class, which by the way i think is a great thing. Love seeing women compete in things like motorcycle riding. Tried to get my daughter into it a bit, she can ride but was more academic type.

Thats the point. ON getting attention because of quality of the major players, weather it is right or wrong

Rash or gangrene

Maybe, they are pretty bad at the moment😆

They are worse now than they have everbeen.both sides

A magnet for people who are sick of the standard of politicians we have now. Surprised people can't see that

Do you really believe they weren't considering this before the election!! They new, we may as well have ON in. Lying pieces of sh#t. Politicians are a joke! The housing crisis hasn't just apeared since the election. Going out of my way to be as honest as possible, this really bugs me!

Right wing. Left wing it does't matter, they are all sht at the moment. Have a look who backs the other partys before you pick on one paticular party. What has what Lang Hancock got to do with anything in the current climate. I only own my own home but am pssed off with politicians saying one thing before an election and changing their mind on it. Are you trying to tell me they had no pkans before the election on tjese policys. Are we supposed to just ignore the lies. These people are supposed to be the ones we trust with running our country and they are the least trustful out there. No wonder ON is doing well. People have had a gutsful of the dishonesty and are trying to punish the current batch.

My major concern about what people have or had in their pants when it comes to sport. Even tjings like darts and snooker. Men are generally taller than women so have an advantage with reach.

My howl of rage about several politicians lying yo get voted in and there being no consequences. Do we just accept this now. Why bother having elections then. We dont know what we are going to get anyway.

Saw a setup where the pin is pressed in and than a tapered grub screw is screwed into the pin to increase the "interference". Long time ago and cant remember if it was a crank or something different, same priciple though. I see there is after market rods available for the 503 in the states. I believe rotax don't condone it for aircraft 2 strokes but.

Visited the ASC when they were building the last one and refurbishing the Collins. The guide was saying they decided they wanted them to go faster so they put a heap of fairng on them.
