@coopotron well, maybe we need more coal and gas. Australia has reached a reasonable degree of prosperity but what about the poor in Africa, Asia, South America, the sub continent and even in the USA and Australia. Reliable regular base load power will enable an ever increasing degree of prosperity amongst poor folks in society, industrialise, commercialise and provide options and opportunity for education and self reliance. A few big wind fans and solar panels ain’t gonna do it.
