Yeah these people are no better than Guy McPherson. Let's all give up and become mars. I say we fight like Zelenskyy and try to solve the climate crisis.
Interesting... thanks for the links. SAPGen is a private company so what ever they build will need to compete with all that wind and solar. Also did you look at the graph from Tasmania? - too bad they are doing other unrelated environmentally bad things.
For frequency control, it seems like the Tesla batteries now have some competition in the form of synchronous condensers. For storage there seems to be several better alternatives than lithium.

As an Australian, I feel like we're all just squatters on the mining companies land. They are tolerating us for now. If you are Adrian Burragubba from the Wangan & Jagalingou people their patience has run out.
Hey Charles, thank you for your wonderful book. "Programming Windows 3.1". I read every page and it was a great kick start to becoming a working programmer. Not sure if I should mention, I ditched Windows for Linux when XP came out :)

In the original version of the legislation, google and facebook were required to pay up each time they served an <a> tag that pointed news.com sites. That's what google meant by "breaking the open web" - having to pay <a href> tax.
This was all fine by Microsoft. They apparently did some deal with Murdock in 2019 so appear to have been behind this all along. It's all echos of Gates era dealings.
Agreed - a single fire doesn't mean squat. Fires breaking out all over like an alien invasion mean the climate has already changed: https://myfirewatch.landgate.wa.gov.au
