Sweden is ‘walking back’ from renewables toward nuclear

[@politicz1973]

If you learn one thing from China it is National Security as the first priority. That is why they are still building coal fired power stations. Sweden has seen the riots in France and cost of living increases as being terminal to national security. This aside from renewables destroying our countryside and having China reaching within is unacceptable.

​@@infidel202the ALP sold us out decades ago, Albo is simply following the UN/WEF agenda. Hawke & Beasley both told Australians what they were upto, unfortunately the majority of Australians have ignored it. Hawke and Beasley drummed up a republic, then Turnbull now Albanese with no private property rights. To quote Kim Beasley in federal parliament “the United Nations has given the federal government a mandate of ownership for housing, property, farms and business to government control once the republic has been proclaimed”. To quote Bob Hawke “the Fabian Society acknowledges the principal tenet of Marxism, the abolition of private property, in this case to own land”.

I still want to know what is 'renewable' about germanium, thalium, lithium, cobalt, etc...utilized for non-recyclable single use processing to make solar panels and batteries? Even the fiberglass blades of giant windmills don't get recycled, use till they destroy themselves (which they do pretty often) and junk them. What is 'renewable' about this technology? The best batteries in the world are junked after less than ten years of constant charge/discharge cycling, the solar panels lose half their already crappy energy conversion efficiency around the same time, then you just throw them away and make more. What is 'renewable' about that? Those elements aren't made in the natural cycles of the Earth, they were created in late stage supernova fusion and we won't be getting more of that stuff, so why is this 'renewable'?

Net Zero is what they want you to own!

[@korycassel5197]

This is the real point. You already don't have water or mineral exploitation rights to your own property, and now these 'renewable' technologies will be completely outside any individual's reach to make for themselves. They've destroyed the grass-roots electrification movements all over the globe that WERE starting to be implemented by ingenious land owners building wind and steam powered generators on their property, destroyed that completely, and now they're going to regulate and control every aspect of power from the mines to the meters and you just get to work and pay period, or they'll come and shoot you. That's the plan.

[@gangalo68]

I’m pretty sure Sweden has abandoned net zero as in net zero release of CO2 and focuses on net zero in using fossil fuels. Which is achievable. Oil is still going to be needed though as a base material in industrial production for example.

[@korycassel5197]

Also the various methods of producing steel, concrete, etc...will be ruinously taxing upon an electric infrastructure that can in no way even deal with current demands if automobiles are all supposed to be electric too. It won't work, electricity production needs to dramatically INCREASE to make everything electric and the way to do that in the long run is with steam turbines period. Whether you're doing nuclear, clean fossil fuel plants (which are very good these days), or innovations with cryophorus heat collection and pressure driven rankin cycles (using solar HEAT collection and storage with inverted air-conditioning heat-pipe technology instead of the doomed photovoltaic nonsense), turbines are robust, reliable, maintainable, energy dense, small footprint. That's the way to generate electricity, there is no better method or even competitive one where you don't have a huge waterfall or damm to use hydroelectric impellers. The 'renewable' methods are flimsy, toxic crap to throw away and replace every 10 years, throw away consumerist short sighted tripe. It's a stoopid way to go. The politicians are ignorant people falling for scams to waste money on these technologies, they will not last, they will not serve to do anything but raise prices and cause shortages of the myriad fossil fuel byproducts shot through modern industrial economies.

[@dattape2828]

Solar and wind sucks. You need huge batteries to store the energy

[@korycassel5197]

And the solar panels and batteries are junk in ten years, and the giant windmill blades destroy themselves by friction of their tips traveling 180+mph continuously by simple dust and pollen in the wind. It's all crap technology and not 'renewable' at all. Yeah, what do we do when kilotons of toxic battery chemicals are leeching into the groundwater around all the dumps of the depleted lithium batteries? Get tumors and die is the answer, but I guess we'll just ship it all over to China.

Australia, one of the worlds largest suppliers of uranium from BHPs Olympic Dam in SA, has no commercial electricity production from nuclear with a population of 26.5m people. Australia has only one reactor, used for the production of medical isotopes - located in Sydney. So. begs the question why doesn't Australia have nuclear based electricity production............

Relax, the politicians are led by the current PM, who during his campaign for election to the highest political office described himself as a former economic adviser to Prime Minister Bob Hawke. That this ridiculous and patently dishonest claim was immediately exposed for the blatant lie it was is clearly immaterial to the otherwise ruthlessly probity obsessed MSM. Remember 'rules for thee but not for me' the consistent theme of the Albanese government ever since 'it's Scott Morrison's fault' stopped working to explain away their inability to deliver upon a single one of their core election promises. Albanese's government is the biggest shell game grift in the entire history of Australian politics.

[@korycassel5197]

I've been looking at cold steam rankin. Reversed technology like air-conditioners utilizing pressure differential to lower the boiling point of working fluids and heat input to generate electricity. Built on a large scale and utilizing heat collectors feeding heat storage, that seems to be an actual practically achievable 'renewable' energy source. The heat storage could be built to hold several days worth of electricity generation capacity to offset intermittency issues and could be backed up by simple gravity generators using water or even just physical weights. The solar panels and batteries are made with rare elements that aren't part of the Earth's natural cycle, the conversion efficiency is crap, and the amount of storage capacity necessary to overcome intermittency is enormous. They aren't 'renewable' in their composition at all, once we REALLY start using up these elements, I don't think we'll be better off than trying a better actual 'renewable' solution in the first place.

The bank hath benefits of interest from all money it creates out of nothing, and whom has the issuing power directly or indirectly decides all future policies by the Governments therefore the destiny of the people. Are undeniable facts that the hand that gives is above the hand that takes and the sole objective of private corporation is gain. If the people in this world keep going in allowing the bank the power to create and control their currencies, the banks will deprive the people fro all properties until their children wake-up homeless on the land their fathers conquered. The ultimate power to create and control all sorts of money needs to be restored to the people, then lodged with their elected Governments and finally put in circulation free from all debt and any obligations of interests. Wars, terrorism, bankruptcy are all effects caused by the privatization of money compound with interest. The whole monetary system need to be replaced by a new one capable of making the previous obsolete and it was needed to be done 200 years ago.
