its the marginal cost of running existing plants, mainly from fuel cost.

The political context here is that the Australian conservatives (the liberal coalition I suppose), who have been vividly against climate policies and renewables, are now trying to propose nuke projects on coal power plant sites. Many of these coal power plants are soon to be phased out with renewables plus storage in the queue for the freed transmission capacity, so there isn’t really any advantages these sites can offer for nuke projects decades from now.
Of course, any realistic realization of nukes in Australia would be no earlier than 2040 (some even suggest 2050), by then they could already get 100% renewable in energy system easily.
my understanding is that Taiwan buys weapons from the us, so he is demanding something that is already a common practice
just a reminder if they put the orange diamonds for wind and solar it would probably lie somewhere near zero $/MWh
It is highly dependent of the local geological conditions. Convection-based geothermal plants (those with hot spring flowing around) probably have less constraints on heat extraction limit. Conduction-based geothermal plants will face more problems.
In some shallow geothermal use case the ground is used as seasonal heat storage so heat renewable rate is not an issue.
The moemorphic character shown in the picture is Archchan, created by ravimo. I wonder why show her in a discussion about Mint?
It’s not a good analogy. A better analogy might be a community that promotes a Linux distro that runs exclusively on Chromebook and claims that that is the ONLY private and secure way to use a computer.
because simplified Chinese characters borrowed many words directly from Japanese kanji, so google translate still recognizes it.
Meanwhile the world still building wind solar battery faster than ever…
Since android are not subject to the risk, I wonder what happens if one connects the computer with hot spot from android.
Edited: just found out in the original report hot spot was also mentioned as a mitigation technique.
I hear you can self host sth called photovoltaic on your rooftop to get it for free!
If you are serious with this relationship (or you expect to still have Chinese partners in the future), I strongly recommend you buy a separate device for all the Chinese spywares required to maintain communication with your partner(s). At some point you will have to enter China, and it is best that you take only this device with you into it then.
This is basically common knowledge now. CSIRO report pointed to similar conclusions for several years, at least since 2021 when I started to notice.
What is relevant to real life (since Australia probably never will get nukes) is that even assignning system costs only onto VRE, they are still almost the same LCoE in a 90% VRE system. This is again consistent with previous reports.
After Australia pass 100% VRE, exporting green hydrogen in the regional market will probably handle the last remaining flexibility needs. Exporting electricity directly to SE Asia is less likely but still a possibility.
Some new phones can set charge limit naturally.
Try to keep the soc in a safe range (eg 50%-80%) and avoid fast charging.

Realism diplomacy is just 19th century style imperialism and interempire alliance with a new name. Look how he appeased Putin during the beginning of russo-ukrainian war. This person has no moral guide and will throw anyone, friend or foe, under the bus to gain perceived nation interest. In the long run it is exactly those moves that harmed US credibility the most.
Spatial and temporal variability are main talking points against variable renewable energy technology adoption and in favor of conventional ones. Now we know where this fixation over constant energy originates from.
Now they will start saying that beneath every hospital and refugee camp in Gaza lies a Hamas headquarter.
I think it is the other way around; easy pirate versions appeared becuz windows was popular, providing access to those who can’t afford.
just thinking: why stop at 2? I suppose a grid of heat towers with mirrors beneath would provide maximum utilization of the solar radiation
