#32999 — OT: Snowy Hydro

FromSylvia Else <sylvia@not.at.this.address>
Date2017-03-16 15:12 +1100
SubjectOT: Snowy Hydro
Message-ID<eiuhm4F923eU1@mid.individual.net>
<http://www.abc.net.au/news/2017-03-16/snowy-hydro-scheme-funding-boost-to-secure-electricity-supply/8358502>

"In one hour it could produce 20 times the 100 megawatts an hour 
expected from the battery proposed by the South Australian Government, 
but would deliver it constantly for almost a week," [Mr Turnbull] said.

I thought he'd know better than to come out with such gibberish. Maybe 
he was misquoted.

That aside, Snowy Hydro is energy limited, because there is only so much 
water (less in extended dry spells). If it produces a higher power 
output, it can do so for less time. That is why it's not used for base 
load - it would empty its reservoirs.

Maybe the government intends to use the extra power generation only 
during extreme demand to avert rolling blackouts. That wouldn't use much 
of the water in the scheme of things, but I seriously question whether 
the proposal is the cheapest solution.

Sylvia.

**Yep, it's fucked, but we're stuck with those neanderthals in the 
Lieberal Party. They'll do ANYTHING, except use the abundant Sunshine in 
this country to generate electricity. They're even talking about nukes 
for fuck's sake! The US has finally managed to safely bury 2 years' 
worth of high level waste. Only 48 years' worth of waste to go... I'd be 
happy with nukes, provided they bury the waste in the pollie's 
backyards. Still, they won't discuss, geo-thermal,  Solar/thermal or 
Solar PV/battery systems. All have been shown to work and provide 
electricity at competitive prices.

They could put these at the bottom of the dams to increase the capacity 
without extra earthworks...

That's if the dams are deep enough to be useful...

**Interesting concept. Dig deep enough and you'll realise that the 
Lieberals are wedded to fossil fuels and nukes. Anything else is a 
distraction. for some reason, they cannot abide a non-polluting energy 
source. Fuckwits.

What rot, if you showed workable, cheaper,  alternatives with absolutely 
no drawbacks they would jump on them.

** TW has a bit of a point, Liberals are confirmed supporters of the status quo - mostly because doing the opposite has so often proved a recipe for disaster. 

OTOH, a proven source of cheap, renewable energy would be jumped on by entrepreneurial business types like a rabid sea gull on a pile of smoking hot chips. 

Cos there is a bucketful of money to be made replacing all the existing infrastructure. 

Maybe digging *real deep* into the earths core is the go .... 

Greenies would have heart attacks at the very thought.

**The cheaper, less polluting alternatives are already here. Instead, 
the Lieberals continue to provide subsidies to fossil fuels. Hell, 
they're actually considering giving a billion Dollars to a bunch of 
Indian con-men to mine coal in Qld! Like that's going to end well. 
Trouble is, the coal industry gives lots of money to the Lieberals. You 
don't have a problem with that? Can you spell 'conflict of interests'?

Adani does not care whether the government is Liberal or Labor. They
are happy to bribe anybody. Getup has summarised some of their
misdeeds here <http://tinyurl.com/qj6ppev>. Getup is biased but they
provide evidence to back up their claims.

IMO the federal govt should be spending whatever it takes to
keep Hazelwood going, because its right next to brown coal
that is useless for anything else, and if fools like Trevor don't
like that, they should go and fuck themselves.

leave it in the ground and in a few million years, with a bit of luck, 
it will turn into black coal and won't be quite so useless. As it is, 
brown coal is coal that's not quite aged long enough. Like a good wine, 
it should be left to age a little more. Then future generations can 
derive the benefit, if any, from it.

Brown coal is fine for power generation.

Its nothing like that black and white and there is no point
in waiting for millions of years even if it was true, and it isnt.
There is plenty of much better quality coal in this country
right now and it should be exported to those who want it
and not by Indian spivs and con men either.

> Like a good wine, it should be left to age a little more.

Even sillier than you usually manage. Even the krauts arent that stupid.

We have plenty of better coal available right now for what its useful for.

Its a clapped out old wreck that would cost more to fix than its worth. 
Thats why its owner wants to junk it.

That’s a pig ignorant lie.

How odd that they couldn’t work that out when they bought it.

Well as an ignorant pig, I suppose that you should be familiar with such 
lies. If it is such a viable operation, why are its owners willing to 
walk away and take a loss?

They wouldn't be the first to buy a dud.

**Brown coal is the most polluting energy source presently in use 
anywhere. Hazelwood must be shut down. In any case, there is nothing the 
government can do about it, since it was sold and shut down by a private 
company. Australia has the capacity to generate huge amounts of clean 
energy. THAT is what the government needs to be investing in. Not coal.

Who cares ?  What matters is that the brown coal is useless for
anything but power generation and so should be used for that.

Even sillier than you usually manage.

Wrong, as always.

> since it was sold and shut down by a private company.

But if the govt chose to, it is free to buy it back from them
or to hand them the money to allow it to operate again.

> Australia has the capacity to generate huge amounts of clean energy.

Stupid way to generate electricity for all sorts of reasons.

> THAT is what the government needs to be investing in. Not coal.

You are just plain wrong, as always.
