    Am just playing catch up on this thread
    Lots of good links here ;)
    The early implementation/acceptance is proven to make a difference.
    What cost $3M to build four years ago now costs $5m, next year it will cost $7M :rolleyes:

    After the Langford incident ( https://www.google.com/url?sa=t&sou...cQFnoECAcQAQ&usg=AOvVaw3A5qO7PMi7UblP7cGutj4F ) " and probably long before" the gas network was interlinked from Tas-Bris (likely incl Adelaide) .

    With the recent (So called) electricity crisis (due to so called market economics and overseas demand driving up local prices (,even though we have contracts selling bucket loads for next to nothing:() .....m

    I also accept the loss of electricity via/due to transmission, but based on the INTERNET network I'm wondering why we don't have a similar global network for electricity, why a rooftop solar system is producing 100% In Auckland is transferred to Brisbane, with the excess then transferred to Darwin, when Darwin's has excess it then passes it forward to the next continents.....
    Forming a global solar network (backed up by wind and wave production ;)).

    Could be waiting a long time for that production. This from 2014 and many of the issues have still not been resolved satisfactorily

    Why Wave Power Has Lagged Far Behind as Energy Source

    I understand it was Carnegie which was attempting it in recent years over in WA. Went down the toilet along with over $200m+ which may have included $60m from Lockheed-Martin if my memory serves me correctly.

    King Island was looking at establishing a small pilot project to supplement it's electricity generation. Haven't heard how much progress they have made.

    ... and Australian's are brilliant at ideas - sadly we're about 10 years behind where we could've been due to government policy - however, this development excited me too

    Food to go.

    "The federal government will fund $13 million for the construction of a large-scale Food Organics and Garden Organics (FOGO) composting facility in Canberra.

    The facility set to be built at the Hume Resource Recovery Estate – adjacent to the existing Materials Recovery Facility at Mugga Lane – will be capable of processing 50,000 tonnes of the ACT’s organic waste each year."

    Went to a freebie Uni Conservatorium lecture, the other week, that covered this - Australia has enough hot rock geothermal energy to tap into, such that a 1km x 1km x 1km development could power the whole country for 70 years ... and it's 100% renewable as, as an area cools slightly, develop a new area and in a few years the old section will be maximum heat again

    Adelaidean -- Could Australia be powered by hot rocks?
