@afairsinternt @LewisWithrow5 @GovNuclear "investment cost of small-scale reactors is expected to be reduced to a level comparable to that of large-scale reactors" i.e. both more expensive than solar.

Getting small nuclear down to the cost of large nuclear when large nuclear is already not cost competitive is not a flex

@knackeredmummii @NZNationalParty Children don’t deserve decent school meals, they deserve parents that provide them with sufficient quantities of healthy food. Parents should be feeding their children, not schools/the government.

@SuperTeamClean @WSJ @WSJFreeEx @WSJopinion @EliseStefanik It’s an opinion piece you idiot. People are allowed to disagree with you.

@DijkstraJ @DavidOsmond8 Eraring costs $437m/GWh, so ~$52B for 120GWh new. Australia already has 24GWh of batteries so about ~$42B left to go, a third of your number. Costs will continue to fall.

@mattvanswol You don’t hate public schools enough. Homeschool your children.

@browncharley23 @floating_home @renewablesmiffy Exactly, they have scheduled charging. It’s almost as if people respond to price signals and the implementation of differing peak/off-peak tariffs change demand for power at those times.

@Merzamatruh42 @NiwaWeather Anthropogenic climate change doesn’t increase temperatures?

[Scott McFaul @scott_mcfaul]

@AgentSmith_NZ @NiwaWeather If they are, it’s because it’s true every month. Temperatures are trending upwards due to climate change.

@FlattsBridge @AlnouriDanny @PicturesUssr It was released in 1991, before the Soviet Union dissolved on 26th December that same year. The photo is from 1992, that is not the year the computer was released. It was fully completed during the existence of the USSR.

@dleague93 @shafu0x Peanut shells are made of carbon, but are not hydrocarbons. They are a renewable waste product (no-one grows peanuts for the shells) and so providing less energy is less relevant than the feedstock costs. Sounds like she was better off without you.

@MHReddell The national minimum wage is not the same as the minimum award rate. Earlier in the article it states that "the minimum wage in Australia will rise 5.97% to A$26.44 an hour ($32.02), and minimum award workers will get a 4.75% pay increase". The small and 21% are different groups.

@AusManUnder @OurWorldInData Australian power prices are falling due to more renewables. The lowest prices of the day tend to be when solar is producing the most, around midday.

@Wwit314 @SawyerMerritt @Tesla Demand doesn’t exceed supply, they are always perfectly balanced in the electricity grid through the price mechanism. This is electricity markets 101.

@Right_of_metal @DannyDeraney No, they mean the cemetery. It’s not clear from the post that “this land” is referring to the cemetery and not the actual land of the United States in North America.

@GrahamEcosse @DannyDeraney The UK wasn’t in danger of being invaded? The government of the day certainly didn’t think they were immune to Nazi invasion.

@BkkJman @DannyDeraney Perhaps he thought it was the actual land of the USA, like as in the American Revolution? “France also gave us this land as American soil.” is not as clear as to what “this land” is.
