Weststigers Wasteland

All I said, " no they dont" then your rant
BS not true at all.
Find out your facts before posting.
I'm just putting you in your place.
Get it now
You are the reason LU has a reputation of being rude and childish.
I was reading a quote before your rant,
The Wests Tigers are poised to land the signing of Cronulla’s Royce Hunt as they move to fill the void of prop Stefano Utoikamanu.
Hunt has met with Wests Tigers coach Benji Marshall and the club is growing increasingly confident that the Sharks power forward will be on their roster next season.
Hunt is believed to be weighing up a three-year offer as Benji Marshall continues his rebuild of the club.
Hunt is on-contract at the Sharks for 2025 and has been given permission to look for another club for 2026 and beyond.
The Tigers deal would require Hunt securing an early release from Cronulla for 2025, which is expected to be ratified as negotiations intensify this week.

Your probably right but it's time to grow up lad

Again, F$%k off with your attention seeking. You do not know what you are talking about, stop trying to pretend that you do.
Maybe you should decide to "grow up". you're already an old c%$t. best do it before you die, you mental waste.

Goodbye you sookie wooky boy. I think you need a lesson in behaviour and how to have a conversation without getting all silly. You made a dick of yourself so I'm being told.
Zzzzzzzzzzzzz

Yeah those voices in your head. No wonder the admin here have no time for you

I don't know if this belongs here but one of my interests is the energy transition from fossil fuels to different power sources.

Fossil fuels are being 'eaten alive' by the solar rush

Satellite imagery reveals the staggering rise of solar farms around the world in recent years. Can Australia get on board?

www.abc.net.au

The rise of solar power is fascinating (at least in my little head).

This energy transition is one of the amazing things we will see in our time and I'm not joking. I don't think people have gotten their heads around how big a change this is and how quickly it is happening. In stating that my understanding is that energy transformations typically take 100's of years. This is happening so much more quickly than that time frame.

Wait till we pay for electricity on demand ie if its 40 out outside and your air con is cranking just like everyone elses you pay double etc. Poor explanation but I'm sure you get my drift

It's going to be interesting. I think the big issue is everyone blaring their A/C's but at the same time if energy is all solar we should have heaps available at that time.

It's hard to predict the future though. It's just that solar atm is going great guns. I like the idea of Nuclear but atm it's shite. It's really expensive. The next 10 -20 years will be interesting. My opinion at this point is that Nuclear is not going to work as it has in the past but we may have nuclear powered planes and nuclear powered ships for long distance transport. Batteries are too heavy in these use cases.

Interesting solar article thanks. Did you think it was a bit biased in parts?

No. Solar is a gun energy resource at this point in time and it'll get better. It's not going to solve everything right now but I'm an optimist and technology evolves so quickly.

I should add that like I stated above I think there are use cases now that solar won't solve but it's hard to be so confident because technology evolves so quickly.

I don't want to get into politics, but industry will not survive without base load power, sun and wind is not base load, SA is a testament to this.

I'll investigate this one and get back to you. I've never heard an energy industry expert state this. I think it's a scare campaign.

Let me check though. It could take a while. Like not today.

I was thinking if the price of the solar -sourced power is going down etc, somehow we never see that reflected in our bills.

I’m happy to see the industry grow, but the transition has to look after the punter.

 

[Wolfgang90]

I've been thinking of getting solar panels installed but is it still worth it with the lack of rebate? I might wait a year or two to see if anything else improves. I'm also worried about roof tiles being damaged/not replaced properly during installation leading to more issues lol.

I can't see energy companies giving the punter a break unless forced by the govt or something seriously challenges their business.

Hey mate - I think this refers to the minimal power supply required.

Base load - Wikipedia

en.wikipedia.org

I'm going to assume it's the intermittency issue and I'm not saying this is solved now but I don't see this as an issue at all. To give some more context solar only provides power during the day. Other renewables such as wind provide power at other times but even that isn't really required. We just need better batteries. So the batteries aren't there just yet but the concept works now. It's just got to get a bit better. I'd be extremely surprised if this doesn't happen in the next 5-10 years. I honestly don't see this as an issue at all.

Nuclear doesn't have the intermittency problem but it's f**ken expensive and it's slow to market. It's shit atm. I am actually a fan of nuclear as well but I'm a fan of some future development in this power that isn't available now. I think in the future we may see small quick to market nuclear reactors. Even when I'm stating this though I'm skeptical because renewables plus batteries is basically here now. Bill Gates is investing into this technology now (small scale quick to market nuclear reactors) but he is investing in a bunch of different technologies. A lot of them won't work.

The issues that I can see are planes and big boat shipments or even something like long haul trucking. The batteries required for these use cases would be extremely large and therefore it'd start not making economic sense. I have no idea what will happen here. Maybe they will use something like bio-fuels which would be carbon neutral. Maybe this is where nuclear power will come into the picture.

I wouldn't be worried about the intermittency issue though.

If you have any examples of the base load issue give us a link.

Mate - i reckon that twitter page is some far right loony tunes far right BS stuff. Recycling is a funny thing as is landfill. My understanding is that recycling only works so much anyway and landfill in most developed countries simply isn't a problem.

I get my information from places like our world in data.

There is so much misinformation in society. I'd be extremely careful about where you source your information from.

How Recycling Works

Recycling is a pretty simple concept: take something that isn't useful anymore and make it into something new. Learn about the process and the good and bad of recycling.

science.howstuffworks.com

It's rare for a recycled product to be exactly the same as the original material from which it was recycled. Recycled paper, for example, contains ink residue and has shorter fibers than virgin paper (paper made from wood pulp). Because of this, it may be less desirable for some purposes, such as paper used in a copy machine. When a recycled good is cheaper or weaker than the original product, it's known as down-cycling (or downstream recycling). Eventually, goods move so far down the recycling stream it isn't feasible to recycle them any further.

20 years of clean electricity generation and then ending up in landfill is in my opinion amazingly good. If you frame that piece of misinformation in the right way you actually see how stupid it is. They are trying to create a negative but it's actually a positive.

“Far right loony tune stuff” are you serious, pretty childish comment, just because it doesn’t match your narrative.
I’m not trying to change your mind, just presenting some information.
I have been involved in power generation and recycling, for years.

My final point, but you do you, I don’t really care.

Coal-fired power stations provide a stable, reliable energy supply, unmatched by the intermittency of solar and wind. Economically, coal remains cheaper to operate and maintain. Environmentally, modern coal plants with carbon capture can reduce emissions significantly, offering a managed transition to cleaner energy sources while supporting job markets.

It's not childish at all. I don't have narratives. I follow a facts matter policy.

This is really silly. Climate change is real. Everyone knows it. Coal plants are going. They are bad. I think they shut down the last one in England just recently.

If you could capture the carbon then it would be great. I'd have no problems with it.

You are getting sold on propaganda and it's sad. I don't get it. Honestly take and step back and go and educate yourself on the topic.

I used to be a climate change denier. I educated myself on the topic. Being a denier now is just so out there.
