My very post I said groceries, fuel, living expenses are higher don't know why you want to keep banging on about those things.

I've provided the proof re housing. Not sure where you're getting figures from.

As for purchasing power OECD has Iceland ahead https://www.oecd.org/en/data/indicators/purchasing-power-parities-ppp.html

What do you think that means Confused

& in a 159 lite barrel of crude oil....we refine it down to 74 litres of petrol & 47 litres of diesel (rest jet fuel + other)

I'm starting to see why diesel is our biggest issue !

And The Boys Light Up.... !

Depends what time of the year, time of day you are talking about Confused

Summary....both are unreliable Ouch

And The Boys Light Up.... !

Should take the handbreak off.

What is the current war of choice in the ME being fought over?

Not sunlight.

How is it going in the Straits of Hormuz?

Not good...but how much effort would it take to knock out a big solar or wind warm. They are up to to 160 square miles in China....couple of drones could decimate it in a few seconds. The biggest wind farm has 7,000 turbines....how you going to protect that ?

Think your own argument is falling on top of you PT

In fact, thanks for bringing it up.....surely it's enough to minimise the dependence on renewables....based on national security alone !

And The Boys Light Up.... !

Oh i see....so we are back to rooftop solar again...the ONLY renewables technology i see merit in.

Here's the problem....you will never get anywhere near your Renewables targets via rooftop solar only

Which means you need the other highly vulnerable renewables options....which simply can never be protected against attack. Which means you still need pretty well all the fossil fuel backup you have now....lets see Bromance get on his soapbox telling everyone that little reality !

And The Boys Light Up.... !

In Tasmania....23% of households have rooftop solar....& yet it only contributes to under 4% of Tasmania's total grid demand

Think we may have a problem Houston !

And The Boys Light Up.... !

What has that got to do with wars fought over renewable energy?

& anyhow....why the change in argument ? I mean according to some, it's all about saving the planet & making energy cheaper....surely that's sufficient ?

Unless.....

And The Boys Light Up.... !

Population growth is running at less than 1%

Does not compute does LOL

Agree with VSP. Lets get it back on track. I dont know FF thinks this means.

That might be, FF, because Australia is wider than the moon.

(Just getting things back on topic for VSP.)
