tto continue..
And who put out that solar had a terrible carbon foot print...this is a common claim and people sprout it as truth without personal review of where the sums came from.
And NP is now safe..I don't know as so many reactors are getting old and if money starts to dry up can anyone not doubt safety and maintenance will go downhill.
The real problem is storage of energy.
Batteries are ok but it is difficult to see them solving the problem.
In my view water storage is the answer even if that means we have to change rivers and make dams where none would be better.
Everything is a trade off but I could handle more Snowy Mountain systems.
It was not electricity that killed the Dowry River it was the add on irrigation system.
If all spare energy topped up water storage it would take away entirely the problem of no sun no wind and stopping and starting pile gas or coal system.
And place NP stations under the lakes minimizing failures of water pumps as gravity feed coolant will almost always work.
One cost NP minimise is the rent to house waste.I bet this aspect is played down but tent is expensive...well being the potential landlords we should make it known we won't store crap for free.
