@roobar1984@FootnotesGuy Aidan has posted before on the GenCost Coal costs. May be he could repost that assessment. Brown coal is very good, black coal still very competitive.
I emailed the Queensland Greens today to resign from the party I founded. Iโm very sad about this as the Greens was a major part of my lifeโs work. However, their support for gender extremism, their rejection of freedom of speech and their refusal to see the world in any other terms than the narrow class bubble they are in meant I had little choice.
I shall be looking to support progressive community independents who are good on the environment and are committed to changing the Sex Discrimination Act and banning puberty blockers.
More on this soon.
๐จ Annika Wells still refuses to justify her flights to US and Paris for family reunions which cost us $94,000
If anyone did what Wells did in our jobs we would be in jail for fraud.
Gencost shows it. Just read the details.
The Coal industry also has their own assessment based on local coal contract costs. Not surprisingly itโs well below Gencost estimates.
If the Government/ public truly want to know the true cost - ask the Industry. Why default to non experts?
@evcricket@FootnotesGuy@yestiseye Good for you. Now justify the $Trillion energy transition on something genuine other than quoting Climate Change as your fall back position.
@evcricket@FootnotesGuy@yestiseye Like many Australian workers our Superannuation is heavily weighted in mining and energy shares including Australian Coal companies.
How many wind, solar and battery manufacturing companies are you invested in?
How many EV manufacturering company shares do you own?
Good luck with your little EV fantasy. Even with $250 Billion in subsidies from China Government + idiot Bowen subsidies the manufacturing Industry is collapsing. Dumping cars in Australia will only delay the inevitable collapse. And the real cost - increased Global emissions and a new class of slave labour.
You want to electrify everything but we couldnโt even build a 600MWh data centre in Sydney today. You want to run 100% EV cars but we couldnโt even build not charge the current EV fleet today. Even homes with solar and batteries are drawing on the grid when they boil the kettle. Justify your $trillion energy transition. Oh climate change. FFS brainwashed.
@evcricket@FootnotesGuy@yestiseye Based on risk adjusted cost / benefit it makes complete sense. Rebuild coal. Nuclear of course can be built within 20 years. Coal to Nuclear transition makes complete sense.
Full life extension programs for Coal plants requires around $750 million each. Worth doing for NSW and QLD fleet. QLD has already allocated $1.6B over 5 years.
Just rebuild them and buy some local thermal coal.
China could rebuild the whole fleet for $5B.
Why electrify everything for Trillions?
Great piece from Greg Sheridan, who is now alert to the fact that the @AEMO_Energy ISP doesn't actually find the least cost energy system. This is an ideological capture of what should be trusted institutions.

@DeepBlueCrypto@elonmusk Football finals PSG defeated Arsenal. To celebrate the Parisians riot. Happens every year win, lose or draw.
The French riot squad are very organised. They have a lot of practice.
