Why dig and ship only to have the stuff shipped back in a different form when all that shipping can be eliminated. $532 million committed to National Battery Strategy, but no plan yet on how to reclaim supply chain. More than half a billion dollars of federal government funds have been set aside to encourage production of batteries in Australia, but exactly how the scheme will work has not yet been figured out.It's a much better plan than the opposition's mega dollar nuclear plan, it's also the same mob that stopped solar panels being made here. |

While our Lord Voldemort tries to convince us that nuclear is the way to go he should really be concentrating on making batteries as we have all the ingredients required to make them here. California is harnessing solar power thanks to a big battery boom, providing a glimpse into Australia's energy future. It's not just crystals getting charged in California. In the Golden State, famous for its clifftop mansions, wellness culture and iconic Hollywood hills, big batteries are now setting global trends by transforming the energy system.We need a cleaner country, not a radioactive 1. |

Fossil fuel companies are facing a dilemma. Commonwealth Bank stops lending to fossil fuel companies without genuine emissions plan. The Commonwealth Bank of Australia (CBA), the country's largest mortgage lender, is the first major Australian bank to start walking away from funding fossil fuel companies without genuine emissions plans. |

We really need to build our own batteries, not nuclear power stations, and we do have the resources needed to do it. Australia 'wasting' record amounts of renewable energy as share of wind and solar soars. Australia is periodically producing such vast amounts of renewable energy that more than a quarter of the wind and solar power generated has to be wasted. |

Is this a solution that is being squandered? The UK Smart Metering Fiasco! ... And the one high risk feature that the UK utilities seized upon was the unintended feature that was added to remotely disconnect/reconnect the user... How 'smart' is that?... Rather interesting for how the politics got the introduction/roll-out so badly wrong! Expensively so... Only in the UK?

I'm not getting my info from U-tube - does that link cover the central problem? I've had two smart meters fitted now. The 'meter' bit works just fine, but the 'smart' bit doesn't: neither of them has been capable of getting a signal to or from the Government's dedicated radio data network. There's been a lot of hoo-hah about "my smart meter isn't working", but is anyone asking the counterpart question: "is the Government data network running in my area?" It takes two to tango ... |
