  1. last week the IDF shot and killed a journalist
  2. overkill for what it was at that stage of the war, typhoons and tempests did the same job on a single engine
  3. its still garbage though, people rave about apple but they write some truly horrible software
  4. I can't believe how gullible some people are, imagine signing off on a contractor's work without doing inspection, don't forget its your taxes not someone else's.
  5. electric scooters are a better option Xiaomi M365 IP54 12.5kg Ultralight 30km Long Life Folding Electric Scooter Intelligent BMS Double Brake System 25 km/h Max. Load 100kg Two Wheels Electric Scooter
  6. there are apparently 500 odd abandoned mine sites around the country suitable for pumped hydro
  7. uninstall Itunes, I had it on windows 95™ and it was garbage
  8. 99 times out of a 100 buying a new ipad is the quick way to sort out problems
  9. the used market is flooded with cheap boats and planes now
  10. you can watch the national energy market in real time OpenNEM: An Open Platform for National Electricity Market Data
  11. Even in the Trump heartland they are ditching coal to get into wind Xcel’s new vision: 85% carbon free by 2030 - CUB Minnesota
  12. Red tape is a investment killer, one of the eternal truths in life. Look how successful the recreational auto industry has been compared to recreational aviation.
  13. $480k is barely scraping by have a look at sapphire, 18 months from first shovel to fully operational Sapphire – A New Future
  14. Energy companies are world leaders at tax evasion. They won't tell old mate how much money they really are making because he would want a bigger cut. Modern wind turbine is designed to churn out 3.6MW at 8c a kw, its a nice earner
  15. to give you an idea how quickly the market for wind power is evolving, yellow bars are new wind farms and the blue line is the total production
  16. the chinese aren't mucking around with coal anymore, solar is the biggest new energy source
  17. Here's another $90M that could have gone into producing that actually works like wind and solar. I think the all up spend by the Rudd-Gillard-Rudd-Abbott-Turnbull governments on "clean coal" is over $400M Browned off: $90m 'clean coal' program ends as final project collapses
  18. building wind and solar farms solves a lot more issues than building coal fired power stations. the WA liberal govt tried resurrecting an old coal, turns out that you can't build a power station as cheaply as what the coal lobby makes people believe. WA taxpayers foot huge bill for botched power project | PerthNow $310M builds a lot of wind and solar farms.
  19. its also about being able to supply in surges above the just the capacity of the windmill
  20. You sound like a bloke who has been talking to one too many insurance salesman
  21. nuclear can't compete against solar and wind on cost. no one wants it
  22. "Duty of care" is the one of the cornerstones of our legal system.
  23. The germans (Siemens?) are talking about building water towers inside wind turbines and having a pumped hydro solution built into the wind turbine. I think most wind farms now are required to have some sort of storage now as part of their grid connection.
