@Spoon oh c'mon now, surely it brings a warm glow to one's heart to know that we have the comforting certainty of knowledge that whenever faced with a policy choice, elbow will always take the greasy low road.

AEMO is concerned about system strength. It does not yet agree with battery technology providers that grid forming inverters can provide all the system strength services traditionally provides by coal and gas, and synchronous condensers are hard to obtain, and expensive to boot.

if... IF... we do happen to solve this real problem:

the lack of replacement wind and solar capacity

then what are the engineering problems needing to be overcome, to adapt at least some of the large steam turbine generators as defacto synchronous condensers?

in principle at least, generators & motors are just the same in reverse, so, pending adequate upstream green electricity, supply it to these generators so that they become motors that drive the coupled steam turbines. use the existing lube & seal systems, but no boilers are needed, hence none of the coal processing & usage is required [all that can indeed then be scrapped]. take advantage of the huge rotating masses to provide the important frequency stability to the network, which for all these decades they've been doing in their historical role... just now do it "in reverse", as defacto synchronous condensers.

ofc there will be engineering matters to be observed, but even so, as a stop gap til straya finally has full green energy, why is nobody publicly canvassing this possibility?

Australia's biggest coal generator may be phased out, unit by unit, rather than a hard exit

Origin says a phased closure of the country's biggest coal generator is a "reasonable" assumption. "It's not straightforward," says CEO Frank Calabria.

@moz @timrichards

The voters are obviously idiots and should be replaced with better onesto the extent that there is ever double-digit support for liebs, nuts, & phon, plus absence of majority support for the Greens, then imo your statement, though only intended satirically, is in fact 100% accurate.

@sajilicious he needs to fall under a bus on marrickville road. his pathological hatred of The Greens, & thus refusal to do any deals with them, but instead keep cowering to the liebs & nuts, is absolutely ruining our chances for progress. from someone i once thought was ok, i now hold him in complete contempt.

the labs have proven themselves every bit as noxiously egregious in govt as the liebs & nuts, wrt #foi [& ofc, so soooo much else], so here's a thought experiment. when the day comes that #TheGreens form govt, will they remain a party of principle & morality, or will they then just transform into the same types of scumbags as have plagued straya for all these decades? 🤔🤷

everything rudd had said about the repugnant orange oaf was correct & justified. more strayan pollies should have loudly agreed & magnified.

hearing of rudd now repeatedly apologising to the repugnant orange oaf is simply stomach-turning, & frankly infuriating. straya's ongoing intense political obeisance & servility to merka is fucken near treasonous, & unambiguously craven. will we ever grow up?

😡🤢🤮

Why has support for One Nation surged since the election, and will it last? https://www.abc.net.au/news/2025-10-15/why-is-one-nation-surging-in-the-polls/105891732 #PoliticalPartiesandMovements #PaulineHanson'sOneNation

Why has support for One Nation surged since the federal election, and will it last?

Polling has support for One Nation somewhere between 10 and 14 per cent, much higher than during the federal election.

@Old_IT_geek There is no ooniverse, conceivable or otherwise, in which the work experience boy from IPA can ever accurately be described as a "senior conservative". Hang your head in shame, Jake Evans... & Aunty overall, pls pull your heads outta the Lieberals' arse.
