You may find this interesting.

“Solar panels, batteries, wind turbines, these are modular technologies. By that I mean, if I have one panel or a million panels, I just make more of the same thing. Right? It’s why chips get cheaper is because we make slightly better [computer] chips and we make bigger factories that make more chips,” Cannon-Brookes said.
"“These are modular technologies, they will always win once they reach the point of scale that begets the learning rate which makes them cheaper, which means that they get more scale which means that they get more learning rate.
“We’ve seen this in chips. We’ve seen it in cameras. The camera in your mobile phone in ten years, improved quality per pixels per dollar a thousand-fold. So it got either 1,000 times cheaper, or it got 100 times cheaper and ten times more powerful or some combination. This is the way that technology works when that technology is modular.”"

That story is full of inaccuracies- example - no such thing as 200%

Thanks Mike, I likes Drone images. By jeeeeeeeezuz, your cleaning Staff need pulling in to gear for their tardy housekeeping. Dust everywhere. 'er indoors would like that challenge. Maybe some new Feather Dusters may not go astray.:wallbash::Rolling:


I'll take a guess here when I say the prop holding the Dunny Door open indicates that you have a few Voyeurs walking past & would like the odd shufti of the Boss on the can.[bigrolf]


Does The Donald visit often to get that coloured face?

Is that The Knob I spy behind the tipper's tray or have you flattened that as well?

Questions, all these questions.

The Moxy and 30t are doing rehab works on Iron Warrior.
I closed that pit in June and had the crew rehabilitating the site since then.

We’ve seeded the re-profiled faces and restored the top soil, and the recent rains should have it up and growing in short order.

Then you will need some Tracked Lawnmowers. Have got 9 sheep here if you need them. Well I assume they are still here. A bloke working for the Vineyard Development cleared the boundary yesterday arvo with an Excavator & ripped down some mesh fencing. Sheep owner checked it out last night & said he was happy with it but I still haven't seen the buggers yet.

Probably in some one's roaster as we speak.[bigrolf]



EDIT. 1648 hrs SHEEP SIGHTED.[happycry]:ehigh5:

You shouldn't quote things out of context. It diminishes your credibility.

Long ago now, I was all about 200 per cent renewables,” Cannon-Brookes told the panel. “Because literally it was a thing that makes people think. ‘What do you mean 200 per cent?'”

I would normally use 200% just to exaggerate the %



Either that or 2000%. One can't diminish wot you ain't got.[bigrolf]

True. but if you post that there are inaccuracies, you should list them, and the reason you think they are. Or your credibility can be questioned. You can't question facts.

This pushed the coal power contribution down to its own new record low of 45.2%. Gas, as the Open NEM charts reveal, contributed a minuscule amount to the mix at midday, at just over 1.8 per cent.

Considering my post was directly after yours, and I specified a particular comment that is inaccurate I’d say I covered it off.

As for credibility - I don’t give a **** what anyone on here thinks of me [emoji6]
