Is it acceptable in the 21st century that people still have to put up living without power for weeks on end? What is wrong with putting power lines underground and building community-owned micro-grids with community-owned batteries?

[Siegfried Angerer @seaprod100]

@TheKouk The Gini coefficient includes more than income, Stephen. It includes housing debt, government fees, & charges, cost of living, unemployment & underemployment. Poverty used to be 3 in 10. You find it is equivalent to Hong Kong now.

[Siegfried Angerer @seaprod100]

@murpharoo @adamlmorton Industry is doing more to cut emissions than the Morrison gov't, Katherine. Even the Australian superfunds are forced to invest in US micro-grids while they are asking what's going on in Australia? Now that would be a story. Just a little tip from an insider, Katherine.

@LesStonehouse Mortality is reality??????

[Siegfried Angerer @seaprod100]

@LesStonehouse I don't think an entrenched 2 party system is the answer. Not with the entrenched and corrupt public service that evolved under colonial panopticism. We need fundamental reform and true participatory democracy with a truly transparent public service.

@ReclaimAnglesea @SCEGinfo @geelongsustain @SustainableHour Great! I pass this on to our Board member Heinz Dahl who is currently in discussion with the Geelong mayor. Heinz is part of the group working on manufacturing the Zenaji batteries in Geelong. We want to keep things local :-)

[Siegfried Angerer @seaprod100]

@GlenneDrover Does this modelling include all the community-owned micro-grids in the works? Our Port Phillip Energy CoOP is projecting 60,000 5kw battery units between 2021 - 2050 with additional 1 MW storage solutions in designated Green Zones, apartment blocks & large public buildings.

@murpharoo @Paul_Karp Hah hah. So what happened to the argument that Australian coal is the most thermally efficient coal in the world? There comes a point when the economic reality of price will simply force the Mineral Council to rethink. Australia's coal has more benefits being left in the ground.

[Siegfried Angerer @seaprod100]

@AlboMP Then I suggest you support initiatives such as the Port Phillip Energy Cooperative. We will be manufacturing our batteries in Geelong, use Australian software to connect our rooftop solar and battery DER inner-city micro-grid that is installed by local companies & local workers

[Siegfried Angerer @seaprod100]

@TheKouk There is no such thing as a Free Trade Agreement. They are in fact agreements that trade commodity advantages under a reverse subsidy levied onto local consumers for goods shunted through low tax trading hubs such as Taiwan.

@AdamBandt It is true to form, Adam! When the EU built its renewable energy policy in the 90's, we did nothing. When the EU built its renewable regulatory framework in 2000, we did nothing. When the EU built its super grid to connect North sea wind, we did nothing.

[Siegfried Angerer @seaprod100]

@simonahac @JasonFalinskiMP @GregHuntMP Very misleading @JasonFalinskiMP! When the EU built its renewable energy policy in the 1990s, we did nothing. When the EU built its clean energy regulatory framework + Carbon markets, we did nothing. When the EU built its super grid to connect North Sea wind, we did nothing.

[Siegfried Angerer @seaprod100]

@geoffrey_payne The 1890's Vict & NSW planning laws prohibited building within 1000 meters from local waterways & the ocean. You can still see this in some of the older suburbs along the Yarra & in Brighton Victoria. In 2018 I proposed the same laws to the Philippine national disaster authority.

[Siegfried Angerer @seaprod100]

@simonahac It seems to me that if every major city in Australia implemented Post Code based Renewable Energy/ Green Zones by building local community owned micro-grids, we could achieve around 70% renewables by 2030. What do you think?

[Siegfried Angerer @seaprod100]

@ReclaimAnglesea @OECD It would be useful for Mathias to read the OECD mission statement. Equality and Economic Opportunity for all requires Australia to have a serious look at the EU green trade policies instead of getting around them through the UK.

[Siegfried Angerer @seaprod100]

@geoffrey_payne The US experimented with a UBI (Universal Basic Income) in the late '60s & early '70s. The right-wing extremists & Wall street killed the extravagant socialist experiment, enshrined the minimum wage as a privilege, & labeled the poor living in the gutter as lazy welfare cheats.

[Siegfried Angerer @seaprod100]

@LesStonehouse He is keeping his nose clean until Morrison's political career dies from the corrupted blade poisoned by his deceitful fellow travelers stealing from the public purse.

[Siegfried Angerer @seaprod100]

@mirojurcevic @lionheartleojai Assuming his brother had not ratted him out over splitting the Hebrew faithful in Byzantium.

[Siegfried Angerer @seaprod100]

@LesStonehouse I watched a documentary in the 80's called 'The sick people who govern us'. It listed the usual culprits from various Roman Emperors, Napoleon, Hitler, Stalin, etc. They all had similar personality traits. Participatory democracy is possible with serious institutional reform.
