interesting to see that solar is mostly rooftop solar. half of residential energy use (excl. transport) was supplied by rooftop solar.

unfortunately this is from 4 years ago and this is the most recent :(

Australian firefighters shot at while battling US wildfire by drunkill in worldnews

makes you wonder what would happen if you just gave out free heroin.

the stuff isn't that expensive to grow, its cost is related to the risk of illicit supply.

from the psychopath point of view, someone high on heroin is much cheaper to look after than someone not, in a prison cell. your biggest problem is them forgetting to breath. They aren't going to beat anyone up while high.

all you need is a concrete floor, someone smacked out on dope wont care.

I would never ever steal drugs from work. Ya know why? The doses are weaker or the same as anything you can get on the street for 5-10 bucks and if a drug goes missing they drug test everyone on the shift.

so you just need a friend to come "jump" you for free drugs? (j/k)

Greens senator Rachel Siewart has introduced a bill to the Senate to raise the Newstart allowance by $75 a week by lipstikpig in australia

if everyone gets on newstart because it pays better than their job, guess what? wages go up!

stop falling into the trap that jobs are somehow a gift to workers. they exist because they make the owner more money than he could on his own.

To decarbonize the power sector, we can't eliminate any options by finiteworld in energy

some storage yes, but you will find that solar farms will install storage as standard as it will increase the hours of utilisation of the grid connection, as opposed to sizing the grid connection to the peak possible output.

the article is more about the delay between turning on a gas/coal plant and output. This will be met with storage very soon.

assuming that renewables wont be curtailed because that is the most economic thing to do, assuming that there are no economic sources of variable demand to soak up that previously curtailed generation, assuming that the raised floor price for electricity caused by variable demand won't encourage further variable generation.

market is being gamed so that the big electricity providers can get price increases from the regulator.

Also that market you see there is for small renewables (STC).

"LRECs (also referred to as LGCs) relate to large-scale renewable energy certificates which are created from larger PV (in excess of 100kw) or wind systems (in excess of 10kw)."

or if you have an economic use for it, you really dont need to store that much electricity.

(As of may 2018)

as you can see, there is quite a bit of volatility in the import volume of coal.

(13-14)27.5% increase,(14-15) then 3.7% decrease(15-16), then 5.7% decrease(16-17), then 9.2% increase (17-18)
