The top graph is South Australia’s energy grid. The bottom is Queensland’s. Yellow is solar, green is wind, orange is gas, purple is imports, and black is coal.
Over the last week, Queensland used 27.3% renewable power, and South Australia used 81.4%. Source: https://explore.openelectricity.org.au/energy/au/
Something worth mentioning, at least according to the site you linked, $/Mwh SA $99.44 & QLD $214.46 at the time I’m writing this. So SA’s power is also generated at half the cost (if I’m understanding it correctly).
Good point! A lot of politicians think supporting the economy means supporting coal, but this proves solar and wind are best for the economy.
the economy is just rich peoples money, and coal is how those people got rich ...
our planet is becoming embroiled in wars and ethnic cleansings that all started with the question, "who owns the flammable ground stuff?"
the fact that the flammable ground stuff could become worthless if we all focused on it is very dangerous to the richest and most powerful people. they control the most flammable ground stuff. they figured out they can stay wealthy and powerful if they start a bunch of wars and kill any ethnic group who generally thinks maybe who owns the flammable ground stuff are the indigenous people who should own the ground the flammable ground stuff is in.
the song "let's have a war" by Fear summarizes things nicely
They also don’t want you to think about the fact that it’s killing you to get the flammable stuff out of the ground. Just shut up and accept you could never get a different job that pays ok
you have to sell us the rights to extract the flammable stuff because through a process of generational trauma, you might starve to death otherwise.
no but for real though. if you have some money to spare feed your nieghbors. it will help keep them for selling their mineral rights. i've seen it work
