Irrelevant to what would happen if Haselwood wasn’t closed.

ABSOLUTELY NOTHING MEASURABLE.

Not when even if we closed all power generation entirely
and banned all modes of transport entirely would produce
no measurable effect on climate what so ever.

Fraid so.

If it was economic in the first place, its even more economic to
replace the subset of what was built to allow it to continue to be
used now that the price they get for the electricity is much higher.

> Like automobiles, power stations do not last forever.

No one ever said they did. But if it was economic to build
it in the first place, its even more economic to replace the
subset of what was built to allow it to continue to be used
now that the price they get for the electricity is much higher.

Even sillier than you usually manage. The Snowy system has
always been about pumped storage, by far the best way to
do something about the inevitable intermittency of what
renewable power generation we have and to allow the coal
fired power generation to work at maximum efficiency.

Have fun listing even a single example of a major renewable
power generation system done in this country without a subsidy.

Those fuck the environment too.

>> Fucks the stability of the grid.

Pity that no one is silly enough to build it without a subsidy here.

Another lie with non synchronous power generation.

How odd that the only people who pay for
them themselves are those who are off grid.

Nukes leave them for dead in that regard and don’t have
a problem with system stabity or intermittency either.

That’s a lie with geothermal and hydro.

Is that right ?  Not even a single other person
who has ever said that its much better to continue
with coal fired power generation that piss our
money against the wall on renewables eh ?

Keep this shit up and your shit and lies and desperate
attempt at childish insults will be flushed where it belongs.

Must be why not even a double digit percentage of the

who want nothing but renewable power generation.

Who cares ?  They are as completely irrelevant as your fuckwits.
