there is less tech and resources involved in producing a solar panel than a laptop. I think you'll eventually see batteries integrated into the solar panel There is no way that a private company is going to invest in a coal fired power station in Australia, the bureaucracy comes from the liberal party trying to win a few votes from the oldies

nothing like clean realiable stable coal

RAAF F-35 caught up in US F-35 delivery suspension April 26, 2018 by australianaviation.com.au 15 Comments The RAAF has so far taken delivery of five F-35As. (Defence) The Pentagon has stopped taking delivery of F-35 Lightning II fighters from Lockheed Martin, including at least one aircraft for Australia, due to unresolved corrosion issues. The corrosion reportedly resulted from a known production error in fasteners that hold composite exterior panels to the aircraft’s airframe. The issue was discovered in 2017 during depot maintenance on aircraft delivered to date. As a result, the JSF Project Office (JPO) has suspended F-35 deliveries until an agreement can be reached with Lockheed Martin on how the cost of repairing the corrosion would be covered. Since the suspension in early April, a US Senate Armed Services Committee hearing heard on April 18 that five F-35 deliveries have been put on hold including three for the US, one for Norway, and one for Australia. “We are still progressing along with the Joint Program Office on that,” Lockheed Martin Chairman, President and CEO Marillyn Hewson said during an April 24 earnings call. “It’s just a temporary suspension that they have on accepting some aircraft until we reach agreement on a contractual issue. So, we’re working through that contractual issue with them. “It’s not affecting production at all, because we continue to produce the F-35. That continues,” she added. “We are confident we’re going to meet our deliveries this year of over 90 aircraft for 2018.”

you have to accept that only the coal industry is the honest player. I tell you what though, once you start seeing floating wind turbines, that are capable of relocating, hitting the market, its game over for coal. They will float out of the shipyards/factories in China, erect their blades and deliver cheap power to anywhere in the world

It's hard to see how coal is going to find any significant improvements, steam driven turbines are a fairly mature technology

the world is perpetually changing, the traditional mass media is in serious decline, the only way to keep your audience is to give them the news that confirms the audience's bias. Your media sources will just be picking up PR releases from big coal and turning them into "news". the wind keeps on blowing, we get better at harvesting it because its "free" energy. Capacity factors at Danish offshore wind farms

because the same reason the monash foundation exists, the commercial media has to sing for its supper.
