From the annals of "in the time it takes a lie to (literally) get halfway round the world, sensible energy policy hasn't gotten out of bed yet".

The compressed air storage facility mentioned in the report btw: 5MW/10MWh …but it helps to jazz up the reporter's bit. And we wonder then why people have formed such unrealistic expectations of what is possible. 3/6

The gang however appear to have papered over their momentary fracture on the Blakers brain-snap, so all is well. The answer, wait for it, is Policy. 4/6

Unfortunately we are left with anything but an adequately informed public. Exhibit A: 5/6
Because we really do have to get this right. But it seems we won't, not yet. See Western Victoria. 6/6

@CloudsCreek @PennySharpemlc @GilesParkinson @simonahac So there are a couple of things here to cover. First, the *actual* performance of that Tesla "megabattery"™ in South Australia. Which can only be described as a bit meh. 1/x
@CloudsCreek @PennySharpemlc @GilesParkinson @simonahac In NSW there is the Shoalhaven pumped hydro expansion that people should be following closely. The first serious test of how useful it can be, and the prospects for scaling this option up by several orders of magnitude. 2/x
@CloudsCreek @PennySharpemlc @GilesParkinson @simonahac Especially with regards to Snowy Hydro 2.0
Then there's all that extra transmission line capacity that needs to be built for it to be of any actual use. This comes in with a big price tag. 3/x

@JadeRhinos @Proverbs1_7 @WoundedLiberal @brianefallon @AOC So there are two separate things here. The actual reducing CO₂ emissions because of climate change, of which electricity generation is the (most) important but not only factor. And a bunch of other things that are related but don't need to be part of the same bill ultimately.1/x
@JadeRhinos @Proverbs1_7 @WoundedLiberal @brianefallon @AOC On the latter, just briefly, the Dems want to be careful of only messaging to the woke, and ignoring all those people in historically Republican suburban districts that they won in 2018. I mean Virginia Beach is now held by a Democrat. 😮
That aside does #GND reduce CO₂? 2/x
@JadeRhinos @Proverbs1_7 @WoundedLiberal @brianefallon @AOC Given the fairly clear intentions signalled by @AOC & co in that FAQ, one has to seriously doubt it. But the data matters. So here is what California looks like on a typical day (& night): caiso.com/TodaysOutlook/… 3/x

@gnievchenko @AdamBlazowski @s04paps @TheGreenParty oh I understood that point well enough… and it's a novel way to frame the situation. It's just that logically you should then take into account once built, that solar & wind don't actually replace fossil fuels, only fuel save. And only up to a point. 1/x
@gnievchenko @AdamBlazowski @s04paps @TheGreenParty Whereas a nuclear plant is a 1-for-1 replacement for a fossil fuel plant.
I'll cut to the chase for now, and come back in ~1 hour or so with some real world examples, but on "fuel saving" if you haven't read it, and it seems like you haven't this is the seminal work. 2/x
@gnievchenko @AdamBlazowski @s04paps @TheGreenParty This is from this paper: sciencedirect.com/science/articl…
(citizen-science version) dropbox.com/s/kj3ny5wk93bx…
and the tl;dr axios.com/no-carbon-powe…
…will be back in a bit 3/x

Ever wondered how 100% renewables (or even 200% renewables) would work in Australia? Here's an overview of the 7 elements of a clean energy future. #fairdinkumpower #auspol #climateelection2019 bit.ly/2CNjSzO

Thread
There are at least 9 studies that show 100% renewables are 100% doable, that my article is based on. They are...
1. University of New South Wales (2012, 2013, 2016) - ceem.unsw.edu.au/sites/default/… @jennyriesz @CEEM_UNSW @UNSW
2. Institute for Sustainable Futures (2016) - uts.edu.au/sites/default/… (I was part of this team) @UTSISF @SvenTeske and they have since done the #OneEarth model

It's art up for review in opinions, of course I'm going to gravitate towards something shared with interest, when he didn't say a word for 2 days! Why was he there? #opendata #smartcities #bigdata #ai
I went through every single video he released in hip hop to understand him not saying a word. Easy to work out, he's a very bitter man who has absorbed all his parents immigrant opinions at home #opendata #smartcities #bigdata #ai
His parents are not middle class anywhere & neither is he #opendata #smartcities #bigdata #ai
