,yeap, 30 of these built just last year in China and India probably did better

Do both...What an original idea. Restrict gas exports to satisfy our own needs.
Instead of developing more gas, expert argues Australia should limit exports
Forget more gas supply, expert argues. Stop exporting so much
Among the many crises facing the nation in recent years, the east coast gas shortage has been among the most divisive from a political, economic and social perspective.
The problem is, the Governments are so addicted to spending the money they earn from raw material exports, they can't reduce the dig and ship ideology.What an original idea. Restrict gas exports to satisfy our own needs.

Well we did say they would be running the ruler over a lot of processing industries, as to their viability, so this is just one of many announcements that will be made before 2030 IMO.They are falling unsurprisingly one after the others..saving the world..irony only..one bankruptcy at a time

Not new..look at us or most european countryOn the subject of power generation and making it cleaner.
Europe greenwashing with north Africa’s renewable energy, report says
Greenpeace argues European-backed projects hamper countries’ ability to decarbonise their own economieswww.theguardian.com
European countries are extracting renewable energy from Morocco and Egypt to “greenwash” their own economies, while leaving north Africans reliant on dirty imported fuels and paying the environmental costs, a Greenpeace report says.
Both Morocco and Egypt are aiming to leverage their strategic locations south of the Mediterranean, and their solar and wind power potential, to position themselves as pivotal to Europe’s quest to diversify its energy supply.
Greenpeace’s report argues that European-backed renewable and lower-carbon projects producing energy for export are hampering the two countries’ ability to decarbonise their own economies, displacing local populations and consuming millions of litres of fresh water, in some cases in environments where it was already scarce.
The exact situation people like me have been warning about for a very long time.They are falling unsurprisingly one after the others..saving the world..irony only..one bankruptcy at a time

You've no idea how many hours I've spent trying to convince certain persons on this point.

The problem here isn't the technology per se but it's the lack of co-ordination surrounding it all.How community polarisation is slowing the development of essential infrastructure.
'It's not the way of country people': Division brews over renewables
Division is widespread in rural Australian communities over the roll-out of renewable energy projects, with neighbours and lifelong friends in conflict over proposed developments.
I would disagree ,however coordination you add and whatever commonsense you could get, you can not fight physics and energy density .The problem here isn't the technology per se but it's the lack of co-ordination surrounding it all.
There are examples where company 1 built a wind farm, then company 2 built one, then company 3 built one, and they all built their own transmission, there was no co-operation and so on. End result well I wouldn't want to live there either because it's just a mess.
Versus if we had a single approach to it all well it can be viewed as one big project, even if built in stages, and that can avoid duplication of transmission, it can avoid duplication of roads and so on. It can also avoid inefficient layout of the turbines etc. That also makes it possible to discuss the whole thing up front, hear rational arguments regarding any specific problems, and seek to resolve those. Eg just take 5 turbines out if they're particularly problematic or move where the line goes or whatever.
That's not to say there won't be some situations where it's difficult to resolve but with a proper approach to planning it could certainly be improved.
