The Climate, Environment and Energy Thread

[LP]

The Yallourn power station is closing 4 years ahead of schedule.  Economics is proving to be a major factor in turning away from fossil fuel.

Yallourn currently produces 5% of our power.

Apparently, our largest storage battery will be constructed on the site.

This sends a very strong market signal to renewable power companies.

I hope those batteries have better longevity, support and warranty than those '25 year' solar cells, many of which are forked after just 3 to 5 years and the companies that installed them long long gone. They are basically China's rubbish that we are importing!
