I don’t think they believe it, i would hope they are not that stupid. I rather think they benefit from lying.

How about we stop confusing power or strength with capacity? 200MW is not a capacity, it’s power or strength.
I know you did it right in your post, but the flashy video does not.

You think it's going to happen in any substantial fashion? I am not convinced. I am struggling to see the advantage over a regular city. While I see a lot of disadvantages.

It's even simpler actually.
Supermarket car parks are starting to add solar shade systems. Install a couple of chargers attached and people charge while parking at the supermarket.
Or work carparks.
Simple things, most of them will work for some people only, together they will work for everybody.

Quite the interesting shift in meaning, pretty fun! i guess when you forget what it usually means in German, and just start from the words it makes sense. learned something today!

Interesting. You're certain? The German word means literally "wedged up", meaning prude, unable to let loose and be free, silly and uninhibited.

what does verklempt mean?
You're not thinking of the German word? Because that does not seem to fit.

The rise of the green curve is not what matters. The decline of the gray/black one does.

The same stupidity with the milk thing.
Except it won't even help the meat industry or lobby either. Well, it may help someone in the lobby group itself, because they can go around claiming to their customers that they did a great thing, while in fact they haven't. But it won't help anybody.

Despite a lot of potential for cheap solar untapped, I am not 100% convinced is no need/use for seasonal storage. It would mean wasting a lot of electricity in summer. But given how cheap solar is, that may be fine.
I cannot see how digging up coal, oil or gas could possibly be cheaper…

Upgrading the solar and battery in our house is possibLe. Affordable compared to paying for the expensive grid connection. But what do we do with our excess energy in summer then?
I agree we have plenty solar capacity and it is not terrible expensive, but it is a little complicated.

We could add more panels. Easy. We could save electricity, for example using heat pump hot water. But what about an electric car in Winter.
October 5, 2025 at 8:09 PM
From my own experience: I live in Wollongong, south of Sydney. Sunny, suburban. Ideal. I have 8kW on the roof. Generates about 1.5 times the energy we need. house uses no gas. But over winter we lack about 300kWh. That is too much for a battery, but we have too much electricity in Summer.

How many frames is this?

Yea, since reality is totally against fossil fuels, they just make up lies and bullshit.
Can we please have back conservatives that care about reality?
