I'm talking about Australia.

2019-01-23 17:13:43 UTC  

Where solar thermal will certainly work.

2019-01-23 17:13:43 UTC  

Its the classic when the wind blows and the sun does not shine, how are you gonna get power

2019-01-23 17:13:49 UTC  

Solar heating works you’d think the water would come out cold at 70

2019-01-23 17:13:56 UTC  

No it’s near boiling

2019-01-23 17:14:19 UTC  

But it’s harder for cold water

2019-01-23 17:14:36 UTC  

You store it using hydro-batteries.

2019-01-23 17:14:40 UTC  

On that note, it's currently 4am in Australias most populated regions, how did Australia get brought up?

2019-01-23 17:14:51 UTC  

It's likely I'm the only Australian up atm

2019-01-23 17:15:00 UTC  

straya cunt

2019-01-23 17:15:09 UTC  

Lol

2019-01-23 17:15:18 UTC  

And maybe you have some traditional fossil fuel stations (esp. natural gas, which can be turned on and off in less than an hour).

2019-01-23 17:15:25 UTC  

I have interesting sleeping patterns

2019-01-23 17:15:42 UTC  

at this point in the day just call it early riser

2019-01-23 17:15:50 UTC  

I live apparently on exactly the opposite side of the world to Oz.

2019-01-23 17:15:58 UTC  

No, because I'm about to have a few more hours of sleep

2019-01-23 17:16:03 UTC  

Victoria fucked themselves shutting down a coal powerplant and the prices went through the roof

2019-01-23 17:16:19 UTC  

they didnt replace the power that the coal generated

2019-01-23 17:16:19 UTC  

It was dirty and old...

2019-01-23 17:16:28 UTC  

With good planning, that could have been offset.

2019-01-23 17:16:35 UTC  

Not that they shouldn't have shut it down but they needed a replacement at the least

2019-01-23 17:17:03 UTC  

what they do is when you got high load on the grid, the govt pays steel forges and visy, all the high usage companies to shut down

2019-01-23 17:17:09 UTC  

There's a bunch of wind turbines which are surprisingly efficient in Victoria because of the katabatic winds

2019-01-23 17:17:13 UTC  

and so it costs you up the ass

2019-01-23 17:17:23 UTC  

Just... Greens complain because of muh birds

2019-01-23 17:17:37 UTC  

Greens literally look like anprim communists at this point

2019-01-23 17:17:48 UTC  

But anyway, environmentalism is more than just energy production, we have environmental problems resulting from industrial production in many ways.

2019-01-23 17:17:53 UTC  

Solar efficiency is climbing at a quick pace

2019-01-23 17:17:58 UTC  

Plastics are insane.

2019-01-23 17:18:09 UTC  

For instance.

2019-01-23 17:18:09 UTC  

Plastics give me nightmares

2019-01-23 17:18:20 UTC  

And it depends on what solar. Solar cells on the dragon space capsule are more efficient than ones on your house or calculator.

2019-01-23 17:18:27 UTC  

Literally turning the frogs gay

2019-01-23 17:18:37 UTC  

Our oceans look to be properly fucked.

2019-01-23 17:18:54 UTC  

And the fucking fish aren't breeding because they're gay.

2019-01-23 17:19:04 UTC  

Nothing we can do . No concensus their is a problem

2019-01-23 17:19:37 UTC  

Just move on to space colonies and live on veggie juice.

2019-01-23 17:19:37 UTC  

Protest?

2019-01-23 17:20:15 UTC  

Well, actually, if we could get the left to compromise on migration, and the right to compromise on environmental issues, we might have a deal worth making.

2019-01-23 17:20:40 UTC  

The two are tied, but not in the way the left claims.
