another marvellous essay by prof andrew blakers explaining the massive benefits coming our way from
#snowyhydro2 . i wish to zarquon that the myriad MSM & political critics [aka, ignoramuses] would bother scratching below the surface of "aha gotcha - cost blowout!" to see & report the longterm perspective.

White elephant? Hardly – Snowy 2.0 will last 150 years and work with batteries to push out gas

Snowy 2.0 will bring something genuinely new to Australia’s electricity system: large and long lasting energy storage

Thank you Andrew Blakers [professor of engineering, Australian National University]
✅ Personally i remain excited by the huge prospects availed by Strayan #PumpedHydro, not least ofc being #SnowyHydro2, & i am so thoroughly sick of the MSM pointscoring superficiality of cheap potshots at transient project difficulties. It's a major engineering project, you fuckheads, & by definition involves many uncertainties that could only be quantified & resolved on the job... just like ALL major engineering projects. It's what we engineers do, ffs... scope designs, build in contingencies, but well aware that unforeseen problems are inevitable & grist to our mill. The point is that the final objective is so massively important for our decarbonised future, decade after decade, long after the temporary construction challenges were overcome.

Fuck off, pig-ignorant naysayers.

Snowy 2.0: Energy storage for one cent per person per day

The cost increases means that Snowy 2.0 has gone from bargain of the century to merely a very good technical and economic investment.

I just turned on #4Corners and suddenly thought I had mistakenly switched to #Utopia. It was #MalcolmTurnbull giving a press conference to announce a #ShovelReady #NationBuilding #SnowyHydro2 and putting the CEO on the spot to give a timeframe BEFORE the feasibility study was finished. #auspol.
A Bigger Picture: Politiker-Memoiren geraten in "Piratenhände"

Malcolm Turnbull, ehemals australischer Premierminister, publizierte heute seine Memoiren "A Bigger Picture". Das Buch wurde piratisiert.
