[ Snip ] Ratty: Had a conversation with some of your countrymen. When did your school system stop teaching logic and critical thinking?? Sig, I resigned from the Education Department in 1967. That's when the rot set in .... seriously. Our politicians are discussing a Clean Energy Target; Labor (≈ Democrats) want 50% of power from renewables by 2030.

end ... tunnel .... light? Cabinet dumps Clean Energy Target for new 'affordable, reliable' power planEnergy retailers will be forced to source a percentage of their power from reliable, dispatchable generation, as part of an energy plan to be presented to the Coalition party room tomorrow. [no guarantees yet]
The ABC understands Federal Cabinet has agreed to put the onus on the retailers to make sure a guaranteed amount of reliable energy comes from sources such as coal, batteries, gas and pumped hydro.
Cabinet is also keen to adopt a generator reliability obligation, which requires three years' notice of closing a power station, in order to prevent a repeat of the sudden closure of Hazelwood power station in Victoria in March. It will also seek to introduce a replacement to the Clean Energy Target (CET), just four months after it was proposed by chief scientist Alan Finkel.
Details of what that mechanism is have not been released, but senior Government sources say advice from the Energy Security Board will lead to lower prices than the "business as usual" scenario and the CET.
The Energy Security Board was another key recommendation of Dr Finkel's review.
But regardless of the mechanism, Prime Minister Malcolm Turnbull told Question Time on Monday the Government would honour its commitment to the Paris agreement, which is a reduction in emissions of 26-28 per cent below 2005 levels by 2030. [idiots]
"There are many approaches to energy policy that can work. The question is ensuring that you adopt the best, that's the task of government," Mr Turnbull said.
The future of the proposed CET has caused significant tension within the Coalition party room, with some backbenchers arguing it wrongly cuts coal power out of the mix and will not bring down power prices.

That is NUTS! I WILL sell 10 acres with a house, shop, 38x60 16' sidewall building, along with 75,000 bushels of grain storage for 1.8 million Aussie $. I will throw in the 15,000 gallons of fuel storage and pumps.

I can get you nice 2000 ft2 3 BR/2BR single family houses on a 10000 ft2 lot all day long here in Columbia, MO for under 200,000 USD. If you don't wish to be just over median, add 100k USD. And this is an expensive area for central Missouri. Sell out ... buy 8 here ... and become SIR Ratty. Number 2 (Gosford) looks very much like properties here minus the tropicals. But for electric at $0.07 to $0.11 per KWh, passive solar and cheap natural gas, you could build and maintain your own tropical arboritum. And what's this 'Stamp Duty' crap? Is that where you bend over and they brand you?
