I am surprised that their country isn’t mostly working on Solar considering the sun hours they get and the available space.
Don’t get me started, we could be world leaders in renewables, if our politicians weren’t funded by mining billionaires and our media wasn’t heavily controlled by Murdoch
Former colony blues. It wasn’t just the criminals we sent to Australia or the religious wackos exported to the Americas. We also sent people to exploit them and I guess old habits die hard.
Not sure what everyone else is on about we are heavily invested in renewables now:
What are the colors other than coal?
I’m glad to see coal in decline 😉
All the data for the national energy market is public: https://explore.openelectricity.org.au/energy/nem/?range=7d&interval=30m&view=discrete-time&group=Detailed
As Donald Horne pointed out in 1964, we are country of happy go lucky fools, electing mostly idiots. Nothing much has changed.
I assume its energy storage problems, and its not efficient enough to import solar and the large amount of batteries required from China yet.
Maybe if Australia keeps increasing its coal exports to China the price will come down as energy prices fall in China.
Is it that expensive to import solar pannels from China, I get that infrastructure scale batteries are expensive?
Total cost of power its very expensive. When you see how cheap solar is that’s just the panels, you then have to deal with the intermittency, and the backup power generation for the periods where performance is degraded.
This is outdated - the LCOE of solar/wind+battery storage is lower than fossil methods of power generation.
Have a reputable citation?
Here’s why renewables are expensive, which takes all costs into account for 100% uptime of power, without brownouts.

Most studies ignore a lot of cost.
That study is a massive dumpster fire, and most certainly not a reputable citation
Do you have a study then, dont just come and take a shit.
I want the study to include storage, and maintenance obviously, and any backup power required for 100% grid reliability.
The people profiting off of making civilization dependent on oil should be the ones to pay when oil prices go up.
Just keep unwaveringly supporting America and Israel mate!
Regardless of whom he supports, the oil prices are still going to stay up for him, since he has no production of his own to compensate.
If America and especially Israel were treated as pariah states, this shit would’ve been less likely to happen.
As it so happens Australia is one of their biggest cheerleaders.
Doesnt Australia export oil and gas?
It exports crude oil, but has not enough refining capacity for its own consumption.
Ah really, same as Canada, thats interesting.
Bye bye Petrodollar! Man is the us fucked.
That’s more of a plan than, “High oil prices are great for us. We’re gonna make so much money.”
1)secure oil
2)people say it’s not profitable
3)???
4)it’s profitable
Not much more though
And I bet companies still won’t relaxe Home Office rules and still make everyone come into the office rip.
Won’t someone think of the
"e s s e n t i a l
i n d u s t r i e s" ???
I’m such an idiot, I thought being halfway across the world from this orange pedo would keep me shielded from his shenanigans. I was so wrong, this one man has messed up the entire world. Why is allowed to live still? I abhor violence but I also understand when an exception (or two) have to be made
The future is a Cunt, right? But we’re all right Cunts on the bus!
Wait, is that the Aussie version of bozos on this bus?
how is australian public transport? cause far as i know, only the beach parts are habited, the middle part is mostly rural.
No one goes to the middle part except rural people, which is why no one goes to the middle part
Our public transport is middling, not great, but not terrible. Mind you, if everyone started using it, it would be terrible
Rural people, so boring.
They are. It may be a result of the crap internet they voted to have?
Even Australia is affected by the crisis…
Specially Australia; it’s an Island in the middle of nowhere that has to import everything.
It’s just a huge desert in the middle of the ocean.

Wow the Australian government has failed it people too.
The American government failed the Australian people.
They put too much faith in allies that don’t care about anyone.

Probably, but it’s not like they could do much about it.
I’m sure the transit system is capable of handling such an increase is riders…
God damn. So many people working hard to find the most negative takes on absolutely everything here.
Identifying a future problem caused by the advice is just being pragmatic. Did Australia announce increased service capacity along with this advice? (I absolutely did NOT read the article.)
And I hope everybody in Australia blames the right people for this. Yes, this is a very fucking stupid decision by a very fucking stupid president of the United States, but it’s all those red hat wearing motherfuckers in the United States that put him in power. In this particular instance, general Americans are the fucking idiots that are responsible for this shit.
Like all western societies, australians have their own flavor of red hats and a rich variety of home grown fascists. They love networking internationally (and then call us globalists). Blame and shame them.
Like all western societies, australians have their own flavor of red hats
That has nothing to do with being a western society. I’m pretty sure that China, India and Somalia have it too. Maybe named differently, and with Chinese Supremacist instead of White Supremacist groups, but pretty similar. It’s just something that exists in each human society. It’s called Chauvinism btw.
And we can’t forget blaming Albanese for his pandering to Trump every step of the way. Even today the spineless coward still won’t blame America for this.
Show me any pandering. It will no doubt surprise you to discover that international relations is a slow and careful game. I think Albo has done an excellent job keeping us out of the whirlpool of shit that Trump has caused.
Are you kidding? Tell me who has been our diplomat to the United States since albo was elected, and since trump was. How they haven’t been fired and have not bent over for trump like so many others.
This is perhaps the silliest thing I’ve seen posted to reddit, it’s actually frustrating lol
I voted for kevin07 and he’s done nothing but shit on trump Chad style.
Get outta here lmao
Wait, am I on reddit and I don’t realize it?
Wait, is this some kind of response to a post?
Is this the real life?
According the the lastest polls over 110 million Americans still think Trump is great and doing the right things.
I would argue that the people on the left who were infighting and telling others not to coconut vote, lead to an orange in power.
Anyone on the left saying that ‘both sides are the same’ or that biden was ‘genocidal’ can now enjoy the alternative - which is worse.
Well done you did it. You blew it up. You maniac leftists are unanimous your hate for the left and the right welcomes your hatred.
Those crazy leftists, why couldn’t they just be okay with dead Palestinian children. It’s the leftists fault!
Cool so now trumps in power and you get dead Iranian children.
Also the “red hat” motherfuckers in australia that kept australia so dependant on fossil fuels when it has some of the best natural resources for wind and solar power.
Indeed and ONP just won 4 seats in South Aus,
They could’ve voted Green who have been pushing for dental in medicare, taxing billionaires, better public transport and renewable but instead they vote ONP, led by an another illiterate orange moron, flown around by a billionaire who is oft seen visiting Mar-a-Lago.
We should be asking wtf is wrong with Australian voters.
Labor won what, 33? More? Most of the one nation votes are from the liberals anyway who recently utterly collapsed.
And gas.
Natural gas is a fossil fuel
(We steal the gas from our neighbours)
And uranium
Their fossil power is mostly coal though, so not really affected by this.
I was mostly referring to the lack of transport electrification.
thanks, turnballs.
Let’s also add that Netanyahu is also just as, if not more responsible as well.
Ghislane probably made tapes of him too. Bibi is a face.
Pinky and The Brain of geopolitics right there.
“Bibi, what are we going to do this year?”
“Same as we do every year, Trumpy. Try to take over the world!!”
“Narf!”
Except neither is a genius and both are insane.
That works for the song beautifully. Well done.
Indeed. Fuck that cunt as well.
Everything you said is true, but I hope more people are seeing the US as the canary we are in the realm of right wing politics. The cancer is spreading and getting more control around the world. Everyone should look at how the US has fallen under the Trump regime and what not to do. That’s not to say that the US was doing great things outside of Trump, but this is certainly worse for the citizens of the US and the cascading effects are clearly having a negative effect on much of the rest of the world.
Personally I think the canary was Britain with Brexit, but I grant you that unless one has lived there for a while it’s hard to really understand the politics of it all since due to their cultural favored image style, the Fascists in England are sleazy posh types kniffing others in the back rather than loud, obnoxious types punching others in the gut.
As I see it, America’s Iran is the violent and loud country version of Britain’s Brexit.
And plenty in my country would still vote for him a 4th time.
Wasn’t this the start of Mad Max?
The first mad max is sick AF. Hella 80s.
70s
True!
