Re: Bondi Junction Shooting
People leapt to a number of conclusions and in some cases, downright falsehoods. Case in point, 7 News naming completely the wrong person (again) and opening itself to a big payout for libel (again). and yes, i had the same thought of what it might be, but only as one possible reason, but I didn't ...

Re: Renewable Energy Tech
In NSW, the poles and wires are government owned Good to know - we're still getting bummed on charges :x Yes. The gold-plating thing was annoying alright The new problem is that the wires don’t go to the places where the wind blows. That’s why the Govt (to their modest credit) are setting up these ...

Crazy odds for a team that's won one game all season away from home in Perth where we struggled historically. Almost tempted to put $5 on the Force at that value, but just can't bring myself to bet against my team.

Force seem to play a bit better at home and seem to go ok against NZ teams.
So Crusaders by 15 plus.

Actually, I'm not. The narrative that we see on social media and in mainstream media does suggest that, and Rachel Riley was caught up in that.

Re: Renewable Energy Tech
The other one with rooftop solar is that the efficiencies just dont work. You dont get the ideal tilt angle, you are typically building it where people live, not where the best solar resource is, and the O&M component is not the same meaning soiling losses are higher. As such, LCOE is significantly ...

SA will be an interesting one. Six BESS are under construction at the moment (I think!) and then there is the interconnector that is around 12 months off, through to NSW.

PHES is critical as we get to a greater level of RE penetration. Its not so much an issue when you have significant coal still providing that dispatchable power, but when that starts dropping away then you need something there.
