They are in service in Russia and China. Nfi where they were made. That's beside the point. Once again you get your facts completely wrong and try to deflect your own incompetence to some other issue.
So your objection is an economic one?
The problem is that we aren't. In Vic Hazelwood was shut down a few years ago which was way over due. It's original plan for that place was to shut down in the 80's but it had band aid upon band aid till it was shut 5 or so years ago. The problem is there is no base loa 24/7 replacement, same same for every other base load power plant that shuts down. I don't see anybody commissioning a coal plant ever again in Aus. Gas should be on the table but probably won't so here we are.
Yep. I'll explain for others.
And look at the cost of living these days. Unless you farm all your own food and mine your own fuel, you're completely reliant on the energy chain.
Everyone talks of the supply chain, well the energy chain is there too, and labor seem intent on making it cost more.
This makes everything go up, as the terminus that deploys fuel into tankers has to pay a higher electricity bill, the service stations have to pay more, so fuel goes up, now the delivery trucks have to pay more.
Then the warehouses that store food have to pay more, then the colesworths shop fronts have to pay more.
The phone companies running exchanges have to pay more.
The data centers managing all the payment systems have to pay more.
So what these companies do is increase their pricing to compensate, so we see that as inflation, so now you have to pay more, so you ask your boss for more money, then all the employees want more more money so small businesses have to increase their pricing to pay for all these increases.
It all stems from energy increasing in cost, because our retarded minister for energy is a complete numpty. Coal sations are closing down and there has been no strategy to replace the base load power, so now big companies are moving off shore where they can get good cheap power in other parts of Aisa.
Meanwhile we chase this obsessive goal of net zero and are ruining our economy to try and reduce 1.5% of the worlds carbon.
We could burn coal here to increase our energy use and decrease the price, push industry to make cleaner power generation and we would likely have a bigger impact on reducing carbon helping other countries reduce their emissions, not stifling our selves.
It's pure madness.
