    Yeah i wanna agree with a lot of their points as fair but their 'plaster solar everywhere" Is just. Yeah ok lets plaster solar outside fucking hobart and see how that goes. And export to neighbouring countries? Which ones? PNG would be the only potentially viable one. 4000km to nz may be fuck all flight time but it’s a dealbreaker for a power transmission line

      Part of the frustration is that because our cities are arse land is too expensive for government projects that would improve them (according to neolib, country-as-household financial theories). Building out the infrastructure for like large battery farms in Syd for example is a nightmare problem for a government afraid to government.

      NSW is doing a very neolib plan of subsiding household batteries if you agree to turn your house into a powerplant (details uncertain but presumably incentives to feed the grid and charge during peak times). could help solve the coal dependency as much as it’s not my fav idea.

        Vic is running neighbourhood battery banks - i’m begging for one on the empty lot next door.
