Pretty interesting that both the energy company and the government hide behind β€œcommercial in confidence”.

In confidence to who? The other party is happy to talk clearly so..

Meanwhile in Australia, the so-called National Press Club cancels decorated journalist, Chris Hedges, who was to speak on the "amplification of Israeli lies in the press, which most reporters know are lies, betraying Palestinian colleagues who are slandered, targeted and killed by Israel"

Largest commercial gas turbine in Australia..

Designed to be dual fuel capable but no signs whatsoever of any hydrogen supply being available in the short to medium term..

The number of these that could be manufactured annually seems pretty low. A maximum of 30GW a year?

There is a 320MW gas turbine (A GE 9F) commissioned locally and I’d really like to go see it..

Tallawarra B started construction in 2021 and was operational in 2024.

I’d love to know how many hours of runtime it has had in its first year of operation..

I was reading an analysis of the gas turbine market which suggested a limited number of annual manufacturing slots and those being booked out for 5 years.. unless a significant premium was being paid - which just meant you were buying out someone else.

So 2029 may be slightly optimistic even!

Nope. They are expecting a large amount of additional generation to come online - largely paid for by people other than them..

And as they will write large contracts for consumption, they also become β€œlarge customers” with the ability to negotiate pricing downwards..

Hang on, what does Parliament have to do with it constitutionally?

(In Australia anyway).

Didn’t the Greens make a big point about how they wanted to seek change to how the government (prime minister) doesn’t require parliaments permission (or even, consultation?) to β€œgo to war”?

This is ever so slightly funnier if you simply do not know this is a reference to an airport. And imagine this is about the person.

Ha!

I had to look this up and noticed the Broncos won the NRL wooden spoon in 2020!

5 years from wooden spoon to Premiers!
