Dope Tech Episode 2

<<@jasonhopkins7120 says : I have a physics degree and MBA and worked out the cost of dispatchable energy expected by 2050 based on AEMO 2024 Integrated System Plan p11, CSIRO 23-24 GenCost report appendix data, US department of energy hydrogen tank cost and one MIT report on nuclear. AEMO say we need 50GW power of dispatchable energy by 2050. For context if we used 75% of capacity and the wholesale price of electricity is $100/MWh the electricity would be worth $34billion/year for 327.6million MWh per year. To dispatch 50GW with batteries for 21days, 90% efficient, the battery cost would be $11.2trillion (not including solar and wind farm and grid improvement costs). To dispatch 50GW with natural gas with carbon capture and storage, the capital cost is $254billion and fuel cost of $100/MWh (not including gas infrastructure for gas and CO2 transport). To dispatch 50GW with hydrogen for 21days, 25% efficiency, the capital cost would be $2.05trillion (not including solar and wind farms and grid improvements). To dispatch with large nuclear, the capital cost would be $396billion with fuel cost of $3/MWh. Note you need 3 times as many solar and wind farms with hydrogen storage compared to battery storage. Also note the cost of batteries (CSIRO), hydrogen equipment (CSIRO), Gas CCS (CSIRO) and large scale nuclear (MIT) is expected to half over the next 10years. Note they have different life expectancies, batteries 10-15 years, nuclear 60-100 years, the others in between. Some say we need 6weeks dispatchable energy storage; some say a week. The AEMO plan for 2035 is to have about 20GW of dispatchable utility storage with rest hydro and gas with no coal.>> <<@joycelynbennetts says : Australia cannot afford not to go forward to nuclear. Albanese and Bowen are a total embarrassment.>> <<@meeranraees3183 says : In the hunder rules regulations of general scientist globally peace rights for world Illegaly any others attacks to energy power technology digital ecosystem solar missile nuclear energy power technology digital ecosystem research of general scientist there's finishing in the hunder general scientist globally peace and there's company owners trail international criminal court law of Islamic of general scientist globally peace>> <<@stanyeaman4824 says : Please replace ‘renewables’ with ‘unreliable intermittents’.>> <<@markb7898 says : While I like the idea of renewable energy sources it will not work for base load. I have just purchased a petrol generator for when we get rolling black outs under looney labor ideals. Not very green but neither is living in the dark and cold. The long labor remain in power the more costly generators will become. Buy one now!>> <<@dancinguy99 says : Idiot Labor dysfunctional fools don't observe world wide FACTS on electricity generation, supply availablity, reliability or costs. Full time inept informed stupidity. Or is this deliberate to wreck our country. Whichever, they're lying useless incompetent bastards>> <<@savagegfry says : A recent term I heard, from the ex-boss of ANSTO, is that Labor's unreliables only policy, is actually "energy fascism". I agree with that!>> <<@Gregory-i4r says : Their trying to make it so the libs have to finish their dream, if it's too far advanced. The fools should be barred from politics.>> <<@batmanlives6456 says : Gone down the drain would be a more accurate statement!!!>> <<@StevenGuegens says : What Malcolm turdbull said about Peter Dutton well he has to be expelled from the liberal party forever for he's a embarrassment and a fool and a disgrace 💯 percent 👎>> <<@Ernst12 says : There also be a lot of, let's say, dubious deals negotiated behind closed doors which are now difficult to get out of. Further if Labor now admitted that is was wrong, there would be a substantial loss of face and the Greens would go berserk.>> <<@aerotuc says : Prople look at the exlressions on these fat polititans they hate us snd want to continue in fairy land even uf it kills us>> <<@aerotuc says : Labours goons taken us down a very slippery DEAD end road.Where recovery begins once they are up shit creek and we are driving the bulldozers to knock down the solar farms and wind turbines turned to the recycle bins>> <<@NoChannelChannel says : Labor working real hard to increase cost of living, and Trojan horse's will install them back in.>> <<@creationdotcomfan says : Oh darling. Teals are there to strip the Coalition of votes. If they agreed with the Coalition, there would be no Teals. Academics are out to ruin the Right. It's clear if you have studied there lately.>> <<@jolla9963 says : I reckon the ALP, Greens and Teal have all invested heavily in renewables. What's it called?, a conflict of interest?>> <<@YvonneCrean says : One wonders who their masters are 🤔💲>> <<@JonathanBriggs-q4u says : Yes it’s the cheapest for of energy. It’s not 1984 you know. Renewables are not controversial in any way. People come to Australia for the sun and you burn coal like it’s the Donbas. You people are nuts on the right.>> <<@toddsmith7199 says : It is funny how the messaging from Labor suddenly changed after the coalition changed energy policy. I haven't heard them talking about being a "renewable energy superpower" anymore or telling the public that energy will be practically free and we are all going to get rich out of renewable energy. Now they are admitting the cost of energy will go up with renewables but argue that it will go up less than it would go up if we went with nuclear. They have been pushed right back on the defensive and the lies have fallen away with just a modicum of resistance.>> <<@GirtByIdiots says : They're going down the renewables road quickly and hard so they can destroy any other form of energy infrastructure we have, knowing they won't be in government long. Then the opposition have no choice but to continue down the same road.>> <<@stanyeaman4824 says : Where’s this nuclear abundance in Australia? It is all quarantined forever in the Kakadu National Park. That was the purpose of the Hawke government in creating the Kakadu NP. It includes the Koongarra and Jabiluka uranium deposits. The only big uranium deposit left is purely as a low-grade byproduct of copper/gold mining at Olympic Dam. If the copper closes, so does the uranium.>> <<@tlb2970 says : Albo and his clowns are going the wrong way, need to turn back before an accident occurs 😂😂😂>> <<@rob6543 says : Net zero will never happen it’s impossible think about it net zero = 0 it can’t happen stop doing everything you know it’s laughable,just enjoy your life and all that you have zero =0 prove me wrong , destroying everything for nothing 0️⃣😊>> <<@ROARTORQUE says : Bring on the EARLY ELECTION 🎉>> <<@gjssjg says : "renewables" is a weasel word for "Sold out to China".>> <<@chop098 says : Nuclear power just doesn't make sense in Australia. The economics of it just don't make sense compared to solar.>> <<@marksmart9754 says : Climate change is a fallacy used by governments and corporations to control the public. Renewables is an expensive fantasy that only benefits the suppliers. The government and businesses are reaping the benefits at the expense of the Australian people. It’s time we kicked this government out.>> <<@clydesimpson1462 says : To achieve Net Zero by 2050 this is what needs to happen: Batteries and Hydro must grow 700% Wind and solar must grow 600% Rooftop solar 400% When you drive around Australia just imagine the wind and solar farms need to be 6 to 7 times bigger than their current size. 1 Million Hectares of flora and fauna have already been destroyed, 28,000 km's of new transmission lines need to be installed, access roads, disruption to farmland, disruption to farming, crop-dusting, radio transmission, low flying aircraft, and at the end of solar and wind serviceable life what then. What an absolute mess to leave future generations to clean up.>> <<@cplbruiser8267 says : Let alone renewables are not the answer. I dont want to go on a country drive through a mass of wind towers dotting the landscape. Horrible!>> <<@KayCarmody-u4f says : CHINA must be laughing at Australia because they are the ones selling all this terrible ugliness and Marin a fortune while they are building Coal fired plants and I think nuclear and some millionaires are happily taking all the subsidies from poor taxpayers it is so DISGUSTING 👿👿👿👿💩💩💩>> <<@peterjackson5225 says : Labor government...Queensland first to vote Labor out...never ever vote Labor. .millions on a new football team ...what about families living in tents....worst pm ever>> <<@philliphoward5113 says : Perhaps labor have a back up plan for the renewables to help keep base load power for the country :- Once the NUCLEAR subs have been built they will spend their life in dry dock with power cables hooked up to the power grid to stave off blackouts 🤣🤣🤣>> <<@DogSKiD says : Vote to get Australia back on track i say and no more Greens or The two main parties, they need to go now!>> <<@graemekeeley4497 says : And our power bills reflect just how heavily Labor is into "the renewable energy road “It's madness when Nature enriched Australia with an abundance of Coal, Gas, and Uranium>> <<@slobodanpaunovic3834 says : Climate change is a lie by globalists, vote Labor out>> <<@troy6882 says : Waiting for a real boy as your not 3rd enough and why industry is a dangerous business as a 250 drone cost the military 1000 to gov junkies are a costly thing reminder off school days to a smoke you never change dug.....but your a transformer moon mission in the works dug your dangerous dug.......>> <<@DogSKiD says : take note Albo, the fat white mans Government they are talking about, yeah that’s you, you donkey. i can’t believe how epic your plans have backfired lol. Good luck when they throw you off the roof.>> <<@GeoffTrevenen says : Out with Arsehole Albanese, Brown nose Blackout Bowen, Idiot Giles and Push Bike Penny Wong. Total and illogical bunch of has beens>> <<@rinzler9775 says : It's the hill they have chosen all of us to die on.>> <<@DogSKiD says : no wonder the imagination seems like one religion>> <<@Aussiemade2000 says : Dissolve the government. None of them care about the nation. Wake the F up Australians 🇦🇺 Every issue the people of this nation are facing is because of the government.>> <<@thesurfingprospector6345 says : The Teals are scum>> <<@DogSKiD says : These jokers will never form Government again! How much Tax payer money has been distributed to muslim hostile nations through the greens and senators like Payman? that is what i want to know, where is our money going?>> <<@MrTryReasoning says : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wYGqvB0SEBY>> <<@jeffmcdonnell1179 says : Renewables is a scam.>> <<@nwodestruction3903 says : Vladimir Putin is nowhere near the enemy of the Australian people as much as these two Marxist brain dead idiot politicians are.>> <<@Peter-p5u8t says : Reliable noook-leear please 👍✅🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 good bye renewable buffoons 🤡🤡🤡>> <<@oldtimers6460 says : The so-called renewables will have to be renewed at least 3 times in the life of a nuclear reactor.>> <<@riprex2072 says : Labor just needs to F.OFF and quickly.>> <<@Hugh1966 says : Because it’s the future you Luddite>>
