Re: Renewable Energy Tech
Off memory there were also some geology problems there, but my understanding is that they are resolved (at a cost of course). PHES is a pretty straight forward technology (very rural) but as with any dam geology and geotech are crucial. Get that wrong, or dont do sufficient investigations, and its a...

Re: Renewable Energy Tech
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. BESS are OK, but the reality is that right now, most BESS sit at about 4...

Re: Ed sheeran is modestly talented IMO
Great to see a bunch of middle aged men, ie clearly sitting in Taylor Swifts target market saying she doesn’t have a cultural impact.
She is massive all over the globe. People in China love her. People in Indonesia love her. People in Brazil love her.
I doubt the same can be said for MJ.
