Also cost.

What is the cost of replacing renewables and ancillaries two or three times over the life of a nuclear plant? Roll Eyes

A lot less than the cost of the nuclear power plant. Don't tell the LNP though. They are on a roll.

Proof?

There have been a dozen threads about the same topic lately. Did you miss them, or do you just like going round in circles?

People who can't distinguish between etymology and entomology bug me in ways I cannot put into words.

Would it make any difference to your answer? Or would you continue to blurt out idiocies about it still costing the same, like a coalition voter?

Well let's see.

People turning off lights is a minimum draw on electricity. However with burgeoning electronics, the difference has already likely been swamped. eg Victoria households - 5700KW pa 2012, 7312KWh pa 2024.

Of course increasing EV numbers will only make that figure explode.

Building a wind turbine with backup battery -

Concrete for the footings of the tower, the bigger the rotor the greater the pad size. Concrete is a CO2 emitter.

CO2 emissions from making steel, very little blue steel available.

CO2 emissions from expanded mining to make the extra copper, and other critical minerals for the wind turbines, it adds a lot more than (1-3) ground level turbines.

CO2 emissions from placing the towers.

They are just some things. Such simplicity you were asking for is not simple. Roll Eyes

No it doesn't, the cost is still the same. Do you still stand by this idiocy or not Lee? It is hard to tell from your meandering waffle.

All I can say is that my summer bill - with a 7.7Kw system on the roof - was $68 with three air conditioners going, some all day and night for the Eld Gel and me to sleep proper, two fridges, dishwasher and washing machine and dryer (not needed much). The bill before for Spring was $16. Get a battery and they'll pay me and no more power outages.
