@cheryljoneldxr@tedlieu@SecretaryWright BTW it is not as productive. You want an energy system not components. Buy an ev and have home batteries to store your noontime surplus. Plenty of examples here in Australia.
@RositaDaz48 Aukus will be operating in an underwater warfare environment nothing like that of the 1950s to 2010s.
Given the advances in the uuv, quantum sensing technologies maturity. The Aukus is like a herd of white elephants operating in a denuded forests. Naked and exposed.
@baoshaoshan A 10 year old Toyota Corolla has a mandatory warranty period. The used nuclear submarines doesn't. Remember the Kanimbla and Manoora rust buckets, this one got high level nuclear waste to deal with.
@Mon4Kooyong When you got zero sovereign ownership of the supply chain then the boat needs to go thousands of nautical miles to Seattle for major work. Slot not available for years. Will it be a boat anchor in Garden Island Quay side?
@DavidShoebridge Buying three Kanimbla and Manoora but with short service life and astronomical disposal costs. Still 368 billion? Or multiplied by N where N is number greater than 1.
@MrRexPatrick You are getting second hand shit with limited service life and HUGE disposal costs. Minora and Kanimba redux. But scrapping costs more than the acquisition costs.
@baoshaoshan There will be zero submarines. Not even the Aukus ones until 2050s. They did not factor in first of the class debugging and commissioning risks. Optimism bias leaden in the time line.
@NickBryantNY From a systems thinking perspective, whose interests are these wars served? Not the USA. But other forces inside USA like the MNCs and MICs?
