What surprised me was how little solar had been in Portugal and Spain. Most renewable growth had been wind. But that has been drastically changing in very recent years. This is a good thing in terms of citizen participation and cooperative ownerships, since solar is the easiest technology for ordinary people to possess and fully control. In terms of tech level, unless compared with diy small hydro or wind turbine, it is also the simplest among all the options for people who are not trying to build everything from scratch.

This is basically common knowledge now. CSIRO report pointed to similar conclusions for several years, at least since 2021 when I started to notice.

What is relevant to real life (since Australia probably never will get nukes) is that even assignning system costs only onto VRE, they are still almost the same LCoE in a 90% VRE system. This is again consistent with previous reports.

After Australia pass 100% VRE, exporting green hydrogen in the regional market will probably handle the last remaining flexibility needs. Exporting electricity directly to SE Asia is less likely but still a possibility.

Looking forward to it!

Nice! Just out of curiosity: is there currently anyway to prove the use of renewable electricity to the public without revealing sensitive personal data?

Some new phones can set charge limit naturally.

Try to keep the soc in a safe range (eg 50%-80%) and avoid fast charging.

Realism diplomacy is just 19th century style imperialism and interempire alliance with a new name. Look how he appeased Putin during the beginning of russo-ukrainian war. This person has no moral guide and will throw anyone, friend or foe, under the bus to gain perceived nation interest. In the long run it is exactly those moves that harmed US credibility the most.

Spatial and temporal variability are main talking points against variable renewable energy technology adoption and in favor of conventional ones. Now we know where this fixation over constant energy originates from.

Now they will start saying that beneath every hospital and refugee camp in Gaza lies a Hamas headquarter.

I think it is the other way around; easy pirate versions appeared becuz windows was popular, providing access to those who can't afford.
