And where is the money going to, more importantly
And where is the money going to, more importantlyWhere is the money coming from ?
Not the ideal thread i know:As a side info,,:
Had to drive around yesterday...Truck carrying wind turbine collides with bridge closing major highway
A major Queensland highway has reopened after a truck carrying half of a wind turbine collided with a bridge on Friday.www.abc.net.au
With such bright lights, i guess we'd better avoid nuclear in Australia
If we can't manage wind turbines, how can we manage nuclear reactors ?Not the ideal thread i know:
More on this bridge/wind turbine failed date
Just highlights in my view that the grid can not be seen independently:Damage bill expected to be 'tens of millions' after truck hits bridge
The damage bill from a truck crash on a major Queensland highway is expected to run into the tens of millions of dollars, and some warn it could happen again unless upgrades are fast-tracked.www.abc.net.au
It affects and is affected by our industrialisation decline, population growth, and infrastructure not limited to the transmission line.
This is the image of the whole Australia economy now and then.
Do you like the picture?
Fully agree with you, we are not technically able anymore.you have read my opinion on nuclear before.If we can't manage wind turbines, how can we manage nuclear reactors ?
Take the cost.ready to near the cost.
Interesting that they say they are going to use 20MW turbines, when the first 20MW wind turbine was only commissioned 8 months ago and it failed after two months.And as posted by Mr LeDuc
"Denmark Seeks to Attract Wind Investment. Having failed to attract any bids for its biggest ever offshore wind tender in late 2024, Denmark plans to launch its 2025 offering with two areas in the Danish North Sea, willing to dole out government subsidies for new developments worth $8.3 billion."
It is such a bargain this free wind power that only subsidies can hope to help it work.
Denmark sets up offshore wind tender with up to $8.3bn in subsidies - Splash247
The Danish government has revealed it would launch a 3GW offshore wind tender this autumn. The country also decided to support developers with two-sided contracts for difference after last year’s tender attracted no bids. The three tenders cover two areas in the Danish North Sea and one in the...splash247.com
Probably why the ratepayers there will spend 8 billions for the privilege...Interesting that they say they are going to use 20MW turbines, when the first 20MW wind turbine was only commissioned 8 months ago and it failed after two months.
It was due to high wind speeds, however with climate change more violent storms are predicted, therefore wind turbines will have to be made to cope.

World's first 20MW offshore wind turbine installed in China
China's Mingyang Smart Energy has announced the successful installation of the MySE18.X-20MW—the world's largest offshore wind turbine.esdnews.com.au
China’s Mingyang Smart Energy has announced the successful installation of its MySE18.X-20MW—the world’s largest single-capacity offshore wind turbine—in Hainan.
Named the 2023 Global Best Offshore Wind Turbine by Windpower Monthly, the MySE18.X-20MW boasts modular, lightweight design with flexible power up to 20MW and a wind rotor diameter of 260-292m.

'Two blades break off' world's most powerful wind turbine in China
UPDATED| Giant prototype offshore wind turbine survived super typhoon but has reportedly succumbed to what appear to be multiple blade breaks this monthwww.rechargenews.com
The world’s most powerful wind turbine, a 20MW giant manufactured by Mingyang, has reportedly suffered multiple blade breaks just months after the prototype machine was installed in China.
The blades on the MySE18.X-20MW prototype offshore model broke earlier this month, according to Chinese news reports.
And you should have ended with:Home batteries apparently are having the same problem as V2G cars, people don't mind using the battery for their own consumption, but they aren't keen on buying it for someone else.
Can cheaper home batteries crack the VPP nut? Data shows consumers still "not interested" - One Step Off The Grid
New data reveals just how few solar and battery households are opting in to virtual power plants. Can government incentives change consumers' minds?onestepoffthegrid.com.au
It will be interesting to see where they source the gas from and how long it is before the Greens complain about the emissions from gas generation.
The more things change, the more they stay the same, at least it has been put into the arena, that fossil fuel is here to stay.
Maybe now they can get an actual plan in place, that gives certainty to the coal generators, as to how long they are required.

That's the issue, sooner or later it has to be addressed, gas isn't going to last long and it doesn't resolve the emissions problem.Yes, the Greens may be a problem again. I wonder what the Greens will say if the best long term firming ie hydro is mentioned?
Best indeed but not enoughYes, the Greens may be a problem again. I wonder what the Greens will say if the best long term firming ie hydro is mentioned?
And it lasts for a long time, so the cost per operational time unit is very low.Hydro is expensive, but it is clean
Yep, but they have reduced the Marinus link to one cable, which would indicate that they aren't actually interested in hydro, because Tassie is the perfect place to increase hydro capacity.And it lasts for a long time, so the cost per operational time unit is very low.
