Are you going to vote LNP or One Nation?

Have you figured out the difference between a submarine and a power station yet, or are you still waiting for someone to explain it to you?

Depends on how much you want for a bridge?

Yes thanks, I’d appreciate the explanation of the difference; the submarine apparently uses a nuclear reactor to boil the water to make steam to power the turbine[s] what does a power station do?

1) You can buy the entire submarine from overseas, ready to go.

2) You can't run submarines off wind or solar. Despite the opportunity you recently took to bloviate about wind powered submarines.

Are you asking me to prove that we can't get wind and solar powered submarines?

This was Lee's response when I pointed out to him that his own evidence (bloviating copy and paste jobs from AI) said that renewables are cheaper, and to get the best value we should get 80% to 90% of our electricity from weather-dependent renewables:

lee wrote on Oct 10^th, 2026 at 8:36pm:

The fact that in only covers 80-90% shows that it isn't viable, even on average. AT ALL. Cool

Just go nuclear. No need for intermittent, weather dependant power at all.

Bloviating.

All that I’m asking you to do is answer the question that you posed, however if you can’t then that’s only to be expected’

‘’Freediver,

‘’ Have you figured out the difference between a submarine and a power station yet, or are you still waiting for someone to explain it to you?’’

So to reiterate, I’m waiting.

Then why did you ask the question if you had already answered it?

I think that you can’t and are indulging in a bit of obfuscation.

Are you saying that FD is bloviating? Undecided

bloviating meaning

To bloviate means to speak or write at length in a pompous, boastful, or self-important way, usually while offering very little real substance or meaning.

Key Details

• Definition: To talk on and on while blowing "hot air"—using big, inflated words to sound important without actually saying anything useful.

• Origin: An Americanism originating in the late 19th-century American Midwest (around Ohio), likely formed by combining the word blow with the mock-Latin suffix -ate.

• Famous Association: The word is famously linked to U.S. President Warren G. Harding, who used it and was widely mocked for his own long-winded, vague political speeches. Harding once defined Bloviation as "the art of speaking for as long as the occasion warrants, and saying nothing".

• Common Synonyms: Pontificate, rant, ramble, or windbag.

I think that you can’t and are indulging in a bit of obfuscation.

Because you complained that it was all too complicated for you.

I am not asking you what the difference is, I am asking whether I have gotten through to you. Do you understand the difference between submarines and power stations yet, and that it was a particularly silly question to ask, given your apparent implication (you seem too scared to actually say anything on the matter) that if nuclear subs are a good idea, nuclear power must be equally good?

Would you like to tell us more about the nuclear power plant you think is going to be built here by 2030? Or was that just more bloviating?
