The Climate, Environment and Energy Thread

[LP]

I do not recall any large scale project, state or federal, which has been delivered on time and within budget.

That applies to all projects.

I don't have a problem with renewable policies, but I have a huge problem with blatant lies, like Tanya Plibersek claiming Australia's energy market can become renewable dominated with just $120B of investment as an alternative to nuclear or other technologies like hydrogen, gas or geothermal.

It's an absurdly low claim deliberately made to make any alternatives look worse, and you can do the basic math yourself and know how far off that $120B claim really is, it's a number pulled out of someone's ar5e!

FWIW, $120B won't even get residential across the target line, and residential is only 10% of the domestic energy market! $120B sounds a lot, but it's only about $11,000 per house, which would be a disaster when the sun doesn't shine!

Part of the problem in this debate, too much of the media has taken a position rather than being analytical and impartial, they all think they are informed editors who hold an opinion that matters.
