@jackwilliam6762 You failed math and basic energy density science. There are multiple mega battery array projects in NSW. For the state of New South Wales (NSW);. 1. 1,200 MW megabattery within the Hunter Economic Zone (HEZ). The total planned portfolio reaching a capacity of 2 GW i.e. 2000 megawatts. If the battery storage has a total generation capacity of 100 megawatts and 129 megawatt-hours of energy storage. This has been described as “capable of powering 50,000 homes”, providing 1 hour & 18 minutes of storage or, more controversially, 2.5 minutes of storage. Not including Fish-n-Chip business activity and nor charging EV. How many houses are there in Sydney? Sydney: All private dwellings 1,692,119 Do the basic math when scaling with 2000 MW megabattery.

@locksmack >If we assume worst case scenario where 100% of the electricity to charge a Tesla is from coal, the Tesla still has lower emissions than an internal combustion engine car. That’s the beauty of EV efficiency. For CO2 in grams per km But let’s start at the tailpipe, beginning with a regular internal combustion vehicle. A Volkswagen Golf 1.0 TSI is a frugal car, officially emitting 124g/km of CO2. However, we should also consider the CO2 generated by producing the fuel used by this car. This lengthy process varies in emissions depending on where the oil is produced, starting with getting oil to the refinery, refining it, and transporting it to the pump. The average figure for emissions from fuel production was calculated to be 30% extra on top of tailpipe emissions for petrol/gasoline and 24% for diesel by Auke Hoekstra, a senior advisor in smart mobility at Eindhoven University of Technology. In other words, the “well to wheel” emissions for the Golf are 162g/km of CO2. Not terrible, but a considerable bump on the published figure. Next, let’s do a similar calculation for a battery-electric vehicle (BEV). I’m going to choose the Volkswagen ID.3 with the Pro Performance powertrain (58kWh battery and 204PS motor), because it’s a similarly sized vehicle to the Golf and is essentially the latter’s BEV replacement. The ID.3 Pro Performance has a top WLTP energy consumption rating of 250Wh/mile, or 156Wh/km. Obviously, the vehicle itself emits no CO2, but the electricity used to charge the battery does. On average, a kWh of electricity in the UK produced 233g of CO2e in 2019 during generation. This varies a lot worldwide. The US national grid produced 417g per kWh in 2019, and in China the figure was over 600g per kWh. Australia, with one of the world’s worst polluting national grids, generated 656.4g of CO2 per kWh. Taking these figures into account, this would mean the ID.3’s electricity would have produced 36g/km of CO2 in the UK, up to 103g/km in Australia. So even with one of the most polluting national grids, BEVs really are greener “well to wheel” than fossil fuel. ------ Volkswagen Golf 1.0 TSI has CO2 162g/km of CO2. Volkswagen ID.3 has CO2 103g/km in Australia (1). Toyota Prius Hybrid 2018 (on 15-inch wheels) has 78g/km, based on new WLTP testing (2). UK has nuclear power. References 1. Electric Vehicles Are Not Zero Emissions - But They Are Much Greener Than Fossil Fuel And Hydrogen, Forbes, Oct 2021 2. Toyota increases published CO2 emissions for Prius and Prius+, Fleetnews UK, 2018,.

@yesdude3914 2018 Toyota HiLux SR (4x4) Specifications TOYOTA claims the HiLux SR (4x4) uses 8.1L/100km of Diesel in the combined city and highway cycle while putting out 201g of CO2. It has a 80L fuel tank, meaning it should be able to travel 988km per full tank. 2022 HiLux SR5 (4x4) has about $66,198 recommended driveaway price (RDP). Tesla CyberTruck should target the 900 km to 1000 km range.

@Sparky_D A single Tesla Powerwall 2 has 13.5 kWh usable capacity while Tesla Model 3 standard range has 60 kWh usable capacity. Do the math. I haven't included running a fish-n-chip shop-like business. I have attenable 5.5 KWh solar panels on my roof.

@davidbrayshaw3529 During the nighttime, solar panels don't work and wind turbines are not reliable. The energy density from current-gen batteries is relatively inferior when compared to hydrocarbon counterparts. NSW has multiple mega battery energy storage projects and they are insufficient to replace coal plants. UK has nuclear power to provide power during the nighttime. For the state of New South Wales (NSW);. 1. 1,200 MW megabattery within the Hunter Economic Zone (HEZ). The total planned portfolio reaching a capacity of 2 GW i.e. 2000 megawatts.

@davidbrayshaw3529 From AU's Green Vehicle Guide Lexus CT200h has CO2 has 95 g/km, Prius 2010 has 89g/km. Prius 2016 has 80g/km. I have been driving hybrid vehicles since 2007 with a Prius G2. I have never owned an SUV or V6/V8 sedan vehicle. I dislike hypocritical climate change shills who have SUVs.

@davidbrayshaw3529 South Australia's and Tasmania's populations are relatively small. South Australia's population = 1.771 million Tasmania's population = 541,071. NSW's two out-of-Sydney cities Newcastle's population = 322,278 Wollongong's population =295,669 NSW's population = 8.166 million These are Y2020 numbers.

@ytlurker220 >just because we don't have EVs in everyone's garage (because they're damn expensive and scarce in Aus) doesn't mean that person can't push for progress!!! 1. You haven't factored in Climate 200's imposing climate change mindset. 2. Note that I have been driving hybrid vehicles since 2007. I have never owned an SUV or V6/V8 sedan vehicle. I have attenable 5.5 KWh solar panels on my roof. 3. I dislike false prophets e.g. Al Gore's prediction addiction!!!

@mingesack5606 FYI, Victoria has brown coal-to-gas-to-hydrogen projects.

@davidbrayshaw3529 >inherent problem with all renewable energy technologies. FYI, biofuels are also renewable energy (chemical) storage mediums with fewer meteorological issues, but they have extra processing cost overheads. E10 fuel already has about 10% bioethanol. During the night, the US, Canada, and the UK have CO2-free nuclear power generation for baseload power, in addition to natural gas and remaining coal power generation. There's no problem with EV sales demand since Tesla sells every single EV coupled with a waiting list, hence the problem is supply.

@davidbrayshaw3529 What Australia does with climate change little means little since Australia is a small populated country and the Australian economy is mostly a "branch economy". Australia's manufacturing and chemical industries are NOWHERE near South Korea's. South Korea has about 50 million population. >And the LNP has just figured that out which is why they have all of a sudden ( in the last 12 months at least), formulated a pro EV policy. LNP dislikes Green/Labor/Climate 200's socialist "big government intervention". Brown coal is not mined in NSW. A Japanese-Australian consortium began converting brown coal into liquid hydrogen as part of a $500 million pilot project at AGL’s nearby Loy Yang A power plant. It plans to create hydrogen through the gasification of Latrobe Valley coal before its transport to the Port of Hasting for liquefaction and shipment to Japan. Hydrogen can be stored and handled like natural gas. Your anti-coal mining = bad is based on ignorance.

@davidbrayshaw3529 Kevin Rudd's appointed Labor judge (Mordecai Bromberg) killed Toyota Australia's hybrid Electric-Petrol powertrain manufacturing in Australia. In the US, Toyotal's hybrid Electric-Petrol powertrain is one step away from EVs since they (e.g. Prius) can be converted into Plug-in BEV. Well done, socialist! PS; I own vehicles with Toyota/Lexus's hybrid Electric-Petrol powertrain. Kevin Rudd's appointed Mordecai Bromberg is a d**khead.

@Sparky_D > 13.5kWh of battery could likely be enough to cover a days driving Are you saying human's other electrical usage doesn't exist? 13.5kWh of the battery would cover my family's daily needs before the EV and fish-n-chip shop. With a 13.5kWh battery, 1. it can provide 13.5 hours at 1 KW power 2. it can provide 6.75 hours at 2 KW power Recent continuous rain would have drained the 13.5kWh battery to zero. My house's Reverse Cycle AirCon power input is about 5.81 KW, it's usually around 1KW. I use natural gas or a 2KW air fryer for cooking. Tesla Power Wall 2's 13.5 kWh battery covers Tesla Model 3 standard range's 22% of 60 KWh i.e. 110 km. I'm looking at dual Tesla Power Wall 2 13.5 kWh installations. I have done preliminary calculations for off-the-grid capability.

@davidbrayshaw3529 Electrolysis from salt water has a higher energy overhead. Despite the abundance of seawater, it is not commonly used for water splitting. Unless the water is desalinated prior to entering the electrolyzer, an expensive extra step, the chloride ions in seawater turn into toxic chlorine gas, which degrades the equipment and seeps into the environment. Freshwater resource for human consumption needs to be conserved.

@davidbrayshaw3529 J-POWER Latrobe Valley non-executive director Jeremy Stone said that the HESC Pilot has led to the creation of around 400 jobs across the supply chain in Victoria. A commercial-scale HESC project is expected to produce 225,000t of clean liquid hydrogen annually with carbon capture and storage. Separately, the Victorian Labor and Commonwealth LNP governments are advancing the CarbonNet Project for the hydrogen pilot’s commercialisation. The CarbonNet Project aims to establish a commercial-scale Carbon Capture and Storage (CCS) network in Gippsland, Victoria.

@davidbrayshaw3529 For 1.1 tons of hydrogen Methane pyrolysis method = 5.2 MWh heat input. If a coal source is used, add the extra overhead. Methane pyrolysis has refined carbon material byproducts for the manufacturing feed stock e.g. carbon fiber, graphite in batteries and 'etc'. Electrolysis method = 39.4 MWh electrical input. If salt water source is use, add the extra overhead.

@davidbrayshaw3529 Hydrogen production is important for combustion turbine engines and the steel-making process. With the use of microwaves and certain catalysts, hydrocarbon plastics can generate hydrogen and solid refined carbon. Methane pyrolysis produces solid refined carbon and hydrogen. Solid refined carbon is required for carbon fiber, carbon graphite, carbon-nano tube and etc.

From @elonmusk Hate to say it, but we need to increase oil & gas output immediately. Extraordinary times demand extraordinary measures. ---- Musk told Joe Rogan on a podcast last year: “I’m not in favor of demonizing the oil and gas industry,” “We’re gonna need to burn fossil fuels for a long time. The question is just at what rate do we move to a sustainable energy future?”

@showyceramics >Record of $11 BILLION in special fossil fuel tax subsidies given last year by LNP. Fossil fuel tax subsidies are based on the energy user's fuel usage. The energy user paid for the fuel and taxes that are being returned to the user. Greens are asking for a direct funding injection. Australia offers nearly A$70 billion in grants, incentives, and funding pools to Australian-based companies across priority sectors. Source: Accenture

@Snoop_Dugg Solar is not reliable and Indonesia has a greater depth of experience and infrastructure in nuclear technology than any other country in Southeast Asia. For NT-Singapore solar project, if the project goes to plan, it will provide Singapore with up to 15 percent of its electricity needs from 2028 via $22 billion to $30 billion estimated cost. With Singapore's population size being about 5.686 million, 36-42 gigawatt hours of mega battery storage + 17 to 20 gigawatts solar can supply Singapore with up to 15 percent of its electricity needs from 2028 . LOL Hint: For 100% electricity needs, pony up $200 billion just for Singapore's 5.686 million population. Scale to Australia's 26 million population and that's about $914 billion.

@Snoop_Dugg > NT to power Indonesia The narrative " NT to power Indonesia" is false. Indonesia's approval of a sub-sea survey permit to run a cable through its waters has brought the project a step closer to fruition.
