This is 3-5 times higher than real costs of utility PV today. If it's all so cheap then it doesn't require any subsidies... and private business should all over it without expecting taxpayer handouts... But fact is they wouldn't touch it without subsidies. It's all about using your horse sense, or ...

A new report published today concludes that new nuclear build is the most efficient way to achieve decarbonisation of the electricity grid https://world-nuclear-news.org/Articles/New-nuclear-the-most-efficient-way-to-decarbonise https://e2418dea-885f-4b73-9d8e-51a90019407d.filesusr.com/ugd/2bb616_9a...

I just noticed Victoria is now well in front of South Australia in terms of online wind-farms. Victoria now has 2,774MW online South Australia has 2,142MW http://anero.id/energy/wind-energy The "Install capacity" on EM is now total trash data deliberately setup to make wind-farms look better then th...

Here are a few articles from Arstechnica on Tesla's battery day/promises who I believe try harder than most of the clickbait crap out there... https://arstechnica.com/cars/2020/09/how-tesla-plans-to-make-batteries-cheap-enough-for-a-25000-car/ https://arstechnica.com/cars/2020/09/heres-what-tesla-wi...

Something new in drones/quadcopters, at least as far as I have noticed... Amazon's new Ring camera is actually a flying drone -- for inside your home Ring announces the $250 Always Home Cam indoor drone and plans for end-to-end encryption. https://youtu.be/4dmrrBIk6jc 4dmrrBIk6jc I think these kinds...

Once we've burned up all the hydrogen, how do we get water back? Hydrogen is the most abundant element in the whole universe. And it's never destroyed, it just binds to other elements like 2 Oxygen elements to create water... When you "burn" hydrogen its actually a reversing chemical process of com...

https://youtu.be/mRAdyiYDwYI On the topic of that video again, I was thinking how much of a "pain in the ass" it is to buy crypto locally, as I already joined a local crypto service that exchanges AUD to crypto a few years ago, but after giving them a high res photo of my passport/drivers licence a...

The population is already stabilising. We don't need any regressive measures to control population - education and good public health initiatives are working just fine. Often when people talk about rapid population control they typically have someone other than themselves in mind... You guys watch/...

The blackouts last week were caused by a fossil fuel plant failing. ... ......And the failures we had were due to fossil fuel generation plants and weather.... Seriously ? ..you need to check your facts ! http://www.saveourskylineohio.com/2020/08/18/gov-newsom-admits-green-energy-failed-california/...

But what is mi...

https://youtu.be/mRAdyiYDwYI Interesting... RedIceTV who are I guess "mildly edgy", have been banned from YouTube/PayPal for a while now, but now banks and credit card facilities have banned them as well, they lost their final credit card processing merchant account the other day. RedIceTV seem to ...

Nate Hagens: "We need to get working on an ad hoc "break glass in case of emergency" response to the impending financial collapses that will be coming due to the pre-existing fragile state of the world economy and the new extreme pressures of the Corona virus." https://youtu.be/DBQZhEy9CoE I think ...

Looks like there is a lot of movement in the Nikola Motor hydrogen fuel-cell electric trucks, looks like they are ready for mass production. rphYdZNP_ko Here is a video of the electric truck doing 0-60mph in 5seconds, apparently they are going to upload a professionally made video of it via gopro an...

i recently bought some supercapacitor banks for my solar setup. each 2f unit contains 6x 10f supercapacitors in series.....so 1.667 farads in total... should i be bothered about this? I noticed other identical looking "6x 10f supercapacitors in series module" sellers actually call it 1.6farads. It ...

Twitter hacked! Major profile twitter accounts used to send message claiming they will send u double the bitcoin you send them, apparently some ppl feel for it and it's estimated the hackers netted over $100k in bitcoin. https://twitter.com/breaking911/status/1283523035534852096 https://nymag.com/in...

There are tons of propaganda on how cheap renewable energy is but the RE lovers don't want to look at the real-world data or even use basic horse sense. The fact is just look at the power-bills in South Australia where it is more dependant on wind than just about any other state in the world, their ...

So build that cheap prototype within 4 years first and see what it can do. So far they have managed to build a cheap website. That is mostly because you won't let them or anyone else build anything. I started following this Twitter account which has some great videos and memes on Molten Salt Nuclea...

More flying fuel-cell electric transport. Californian propulsion developer ZeroAvia has conducted what it claims is the UK’s “first electric-powered flight of a commercial-scale aircraft”, with a converted Piper M350 piston-single taking off on 22 June from Cranfield airport. The six-seat hydrogen-e...

The new battery technology from Tesla must be so good that it requires more cobalt, because Tesla just signed up a new deal to buy more cobalt from more suppliers.

Well as far as I am concerned the performance increases in Lithium cells over the last 20 years has been pretty crappy if you ask me, I think people are too overoptimistic on a miracle battery and are seeing things through beer goggles, so to speak. The proof is all these flying cars that have actua...

On the subject of nuclear, can anyone name for me when the last nuclear power plant was built in a nation which never previously had any experience with nuclear power? But has a nuclear power plant recently been built in a nation which has no such nuclear history? I suspect it would never fly in a ...
