These tunnels could shelter thousands in the event of a catastrophic disaster!

I think Man U should preserve the legacy of old trafford❤because old trafford is the iconic for our story .we should redeveloped ''Renovation'' something like the new Bernabéu would be nice🎉❤

Huge Pumps and pipes are not known for their efficiency and will loose enormous amounts of expensive energy. What are the project energy losses for pumping vast quantities of water up hill ? What is the on going maintenance of all these pumps and pipes ( underground tunnels) ? I still hope the project will work ( even partially) but have doubts.

With all this "Wasted-Doe"-we could have built 5 new-coal power-stations,-right next door,-& had nice "Base-Load"-security !!-just like the Chinese are doing,--with our Endless Supply,of top grade coking coal !!--this track,the "Hippies"have conned,you into,--we really will be "freezing-in-the-dark"--but,our "politition's wont,-they'll be in "sunny Acapulco"-on their "bloated-pensions"-Bowen has already bought his !!-''Cheers-Everyone-!!"-

Never give a project to lowest tender , especially if it’s lowest tender by 3 billion dollars ! Project has been a shit show from day 1 for that reason !

Given that hydro electricity generation is around 70% efficient, and pumping that water back up the hill is around 130% inefficient, only to get back 70%of efficiency, that 8 billion dollars would have gone a long way into subsidising home batteries for virtual power plants in the suburbs where it's produced and consumed, and it would have been working already. Nice presentation by the way.

My Great Gand children will stilll be paying for this collosal waste of taxpayer dollars. The only viable, zero emmission, 24/7 base load power, is Nuclear. Australia is quite happy to put reactors on our new submarines, yet we cannot have power generation from it. And we cannot have an adult conversation about it becase of government missinformation of costs and risks. AND because laws will need to be changed before investors will actually look at the projects and give us true costings and timelines.

Clearly they should have done far more in researching the ground where the project were to be bored. The excessive over-costs are more than unfair to the taxpayers.

me thinks you have used unrelated footage to push your narrative farmer protests outside Victorian parliament, were probably over wind-farms, not Snowy 2.0

Repeats negative commentary over and over. Seems like a great project regardless of costs.

Whooo, you have totally misrepresented much of the engineering of this project and what you say it can replace. For example, SH2.0 will not in essence add to the generating capacity of the Snowy scheme. It is only to act as a battery. SH1.0 depends upon water flowing into dams from snow melting. SH2.0 depends upon power generated elsewhere. You quote coal fired generation as an average of 600MW, whilst showing an image of a power station which is typically made up of at least 4 units totalling over 2000MW. That power station can run almost 24/7. SH2.0 you quote as a capacity of 2200MW, but that is not running 24/7 . It has to purchase power to pump water up the hill and only when excess power is available. There is much much more to the engineering. But bear in mind that even SH1.0 was only ever considered as a peak load backup, never a main source of power.

GREAt if work out for long further bring power into suppy know poor australia class woek go paid out through the australia taxs service rest life because government do not plan out this project right way because lazy and cheap way cut down cost lot peope got long time take just build last project in snow mountain in 1960 in australia

It's now over $12bn! Plus, another $10bn in transmission lines to connect it to the grid.

The problem was, Sco Mofo's fingerprints are all over it!...

The People Mover and the connection of it to Metro is the key. The People Mover will start at the enormous Car Rental facility (CONRAC), then stop at Metro then at two stops before entering the airport terminals. My critique….I hate the Tom Bradley International Terminal new design, 3 entrances with ramps that force people to enter the terminal to either go up or down, on cheap new elevators and escalators that are new but are broken down constantly. Before, the escalators and stairs were outside, connecting the arrival and departure levels, like <I said now they force you to enter the building through 3 narrow ramp entrances, just to find the new escalators not working, and the elevators (some not working) operating slow, and you have to stand back to see the lighted symbol if they are going up or down. Overall, I hate the new 3 ramped entrances, they are cramped, one doble door each, which get congested at peek hours. Terrible TBIT design, flat, and the inside with blue signage and white walls might as well be a hospital. LAWA leadership needs to think outside the box. Even the art work hung is……hospital waiting room. LAWA…..be bold, be futuristic. Also, get rod of the mobile home style “offices”? scattered at the base of the Theme Building, make it a green area, sitting park.

Every dollar spent gets recycled into the economy through salaries and purchases of equipment. Government gets a cut and people have livelihoods 😊

Hopefully not coming: Snowy 3.Oh no! The next magnitude. Liberal National incompetence goes nuclear!

There is no climate crisis. It’s a scam created by politicians who crave power over us and con men cashing in on it - oh, and greenies who want nothing better than to destroy civilisation.

The original snowy scheme was carried out without the current modern equipment & tech knowledge & didn't suffer this outcome, one wonders why, was it started with too much haste, being driven by the then turmoil with the then Federal government over climate change/renewable energy, or was it the current batch of engineers became overconfident with modern tunnelling techniques, coupled with a lack of knowledge of the geological terrain gained from the past surveys & tunnelling engineers of sixty years ago.

Some weird people will do anything to make money, including making videos such as this one.

Look up Gambler's ruin. Had proper risk assessment been completed up front - things might be different. Simply trying to spend you way out of trouble (and not understand/manage the risks that are still not fully defined) is not how to do it. What makes you think the overrun is "only" 8Bn ???

The concept is a good one but only works where the geology is compatible. There is no such thing as too many soil sample test borings. That's a management problem. At what point would a nuclear power plant have been more cost effective?

Wait! The Clippers have fans? O_o

Inadequate research leading to billions wasted and negative environmental consequences... Hope and prayers don't belong in engineering

Real ill-conceived; for one huge tunnel/pipes moving organic water will cause turbulences, potable water can over time destroy most anything; with organic water all through the system what are all the (anaerobic ) creepy-crawlies going to do to everything. I bet no one knows.

Firstly - Please tell What is the basic Overview of the Problem Eg Is it a low lying city was built in a flood Plain

They look like chodes

This focus on guesswork and media bias is BS. The concept has strong engineering substance. Playing with amatuerish cost figures without explaining what was included in that price at that timeframe. IE when the full extensive value is priced guess what the expense or costs rose. When the electrical output distribution is included it has become a surprise extra cost. Who would believe it? Its amazing how many billions are added so quickly, with no breakdown or explanations of what those extras are or how the timeline or inflation has contributed to these figures. Has no-one noticed by design this is very long term infrastructure that has national power and water benefits. Forgettable ABC and political negative feedback and focus is not helpful. The original Snowy project has proved very worthwhile and a great investment. It was not a profit centre but a resource. When completed the Snowy 2 infrastructure will be a durable supporting infrastructure not designed to compete with commercial interests. When times conspire it will prevent runnaway price gauging. By reuse of water storage to create more power generation in times of need the country will get value. The value over the next 100 years will be immense. The value in water resource terms can be extended by reducing evaporation losses by placing floating solar power systems. Why has there been no push on the electrical distribution network and design? Floods and droughts storms and uncertainty are Australian facts of life. Get real and get it done. Thanks for the efforts of the many skilled workers involved.

All these look mansions malls airport college campus corporation buildings these new stadiums just don't give me the football vibe if I was to go to titans new stadium first I'm gonna say to myself is this elon musk futuristic mansions

the fire is still an unpunished crime to this sacred monument. Some new proposals/changes from the president of france for the rebuilt are also an insult to the monument spirit. For example he wants to replace some original intact stained glass by it's own modern unspiritual ones, against the will of everyone involved. Other things are also involved like "unfortunate death" of a very important one involved in the reconstruction decisions. Devil is in the details. Look, search, investigate.

I've definitely experienced how annoying this airport has been multiple times coming back forth from Asia. It has been such a pain. Going out of terminals and having to start from the beginning mid journey has been very annoying. Not having to do that again would be very nice

At 02:45, this is absolutely incorrect. Australia's largest power station - Eraring near Newcastle, NSW - generates 720MW of electricity per generating unit, giving a total of 2,880MW. There isn't a hydro-electric power station anywhere in Australia that comes close to it. I'm not against hydro, in fact I am for it, but Australia is short on water resources suitable for it, which is why the Snowy scheme already has pumped hydro in place at some of the stations there. Maintenance and breakdowns aside, Eraring can generate electricity all the time and we are going to need more than an additional 2,200MW of hydro to back up the wind-solar folly being fed to us by the Minister for Blackouts, Chris Bowen.

Flew in with the wife and kids 10-12 years ago to see family. Worst experience ever. Went back this past Aug, completely different experience. To do what they did, in NYC, with all those people is simply incredible.

Plump storage is great if done correctly. Wonder if project will pencil out given the recent growth of grid scale batteries?

The drawings of the Snowy 2.0, proudly displayed by The Moronson Govt, were dated in the mid 90's. So certainly not their idea but a idea rejected 20 years before.

This project was a way to give the impression that the Liberal government cared about environmental concerns while still promoting thermal coal. It was also throwing a bone to a lame duck Prime Minister (Malcolm Turnbull) so that he would have an "announceable" and a big media splash with plenty of photo opportunities of him in a helicopter wearing a hard hat. No feasibility studies were conducted beforehand. Nobody did a cost/benefit analysis comparing Snowy 2.0 with other options such as just building solar and storage nearer to energy consumers. Liberal party media consultants just wanted to tap into jingoistic folklore of the historic Snowy Mountains project. They glossed over small factors like the complexities of tunneling, the cost of long distance power transmission lines and the source of renewable energy that would supposedly feed Snowy 2.0. It was a horseshit boondoggle from the start and savage time/cost overruns were utterly likely from the beginning. I could smell this project disaster coming from the first announcement. If you've ever been involved in a big and complex project then you understand the level of prior analysis and planning that goes into ensuring that it will be a success. None of that was done before Snowy 2.0 was announced. The whole project was a political brain fart. Remember this if a Liberal government ever tries to convince you that they could build a nuclear reactor. They couldn't find their ass with both hands and GPS.

This is just a guess…….but is this report balanced? I would think there is much more to this simplistic story

There is no plan for mass transit (trains station, LIRR, OR NYC SUBWAY),from the airport to Grand Central or Penn Station

This cannot replace coal power plants, bc this isn’t a power plant. It’s a power bank as you stated several times. By themselves, storage banks always have a net loss of energy. If it was connected to renewable energy power plants such as wind and solar, those could replace coal power plants, and this power bank could store that energy for use when those power plants aren’t producing energy, but this power bank cannot produce net gains in energy.

This is the most ambitious project in Australia and cost should not be a concern as In the future we will be looking at the project in awe. Just push on and support the project and team members
