@mondantipode @stokdog Even if your 800t figure is right, it works out to ~3.2 gCO₂/kWh over a normal turbine life. Wind is ~11 g lifecycle. Coal is ~820. Gas is ~490. That’s not an anti-wind argument. It’s an argument for doing the math.

@stokdog This concrete monstrosity sits under every wind turbine in your once-green and pleasant province!
1,200 tonnes of concrete.
80 tonnes of steel.
800 tonnes of CO₂.
That’s the same as a car driving 7 million km - or circling the Earth 120+ times!
Build back… better?

Cette monstruosité en béton se trouve sous chaque éolienne de votre province, autrefois verdoyante et agréable! 1200 tonnes de béton. 80 tonnes d’acier. 800 tonnes de CO₂. L’équivalent d’une voiture qui parcoure 7 millions de km, ou fait 120 fois le tour de la planète Terre! Build back better. *

@stokdog The problem with this kind of thinking is you let “perfect” block “better” , while ignoring the full lifecycle of what you’re criticising.

@gitgud111 @ausstockchick I own a hybrid … 🤡
Feel free to explain why you think my analogy is flawed, use your big boy worlds.

Is everyone buying #EVs now

There is ZERO new Model Y inventory across Australia. Last week there was plenty. Probably nothing.

@AvidCommentator 11 tankers..
That’s a rounding error in global LNG.
Ships chase price, this is literally how the market is supposed to work.

"Around 11 LNG tankers originally bound for Europe have diverted to Asia since 3 March"
I have good news and bad news.
Good news: Fuel cargos may go to the highest bidder.
Bad news: Fuel cargos may go to the highest bidder.

Europe-bound LNG cargoes divert to Asia amid Middle East supply disruption Around 11 LNG tankers originally bound for Europe have diverted to Asia since 3 March, according to market data, as buyers respond to tightening supply and rising spot prices following the closure of the Strait of Hormuz and outages at Qatar’s Ras Laffan LNG complex. The latest diversion involves the LNG carrier La Seine, which altered course from Montoir to Asia on 19 March after loading in the United States. Other vessels, including BW Brussels and LNG Cross River, are now heading toward Dahej, India, while additional cargoes are signalling destinations in Taiwan and East Asia. ▶️ Watch the #MarineTraffic playback with the LNG vessel movements.

@mattjcan 19% of a 4% slice… to a market phasing it out.
‘By far’ doing some heavy lifting.

Despite all the talk today of decarbonisation and Paris, Australia's biggest export to the EU - by far - remains ... COAL.
English
We're almost completely screwed in Australia. Our entire food supply chain depends on plentiful access to diesel. So do all our heavy industries.
The regime has one option: Pick up the phone and call Russia groveling, Vladivostok has diesel. and its not far from Australia. We already purchase oil from Russian indirectly, through India (paying much more in the process) in order to satisfy our parasitic "friend" the USA.
The fuel can arrive in Australia in around 15-20 days. We have about 24 days left of diesel. It will soon be too late. Will our cowardly PM do what's right for Australia, or continue to serve the parasites who are destroying this country from the inside?

Australia was partially left without gasoline, and a panic-induced rush to buy supplies began - X

@tradetomars @ausstockchick No… that’s the jerry can brigade

@ray_waspe @ausstockchick Congrats on buying a hybrid, with all the downsides of still owning a gas car. Dumbest things.
English
@gitgud111 @ausstockchick No … EVs are more like a bidet in that scenario.
Toilet paper buyers = people with Jerry cans
English
@ausstockchick All those absolute omega brains who made a fortune investing in toilet paper are now going all in into EVs 😂

@ausstockchick Caused by a heavily oil sales dependant economy attacking another oils sales dependent economy.

@AvidCommentator Either commercial stocks count (and Australia isn’t zero), or they don’t (and Korea isn’t double). Pick one.
English
@0delay1 No, I'm using the standard IEA methodology for measuring reserves.
Also Australia's total public fuel/oil reserve is zero.
English
South Korea has fuel and oil reserves equivalent to over 6 months of consumption...
Australia.....does not....
First Squawk@FirstSquawk
President Lee of South Korea proposes that public institutions limit the use of passenger vehicles to six days a week.
English
@MadsMelbourne Countries can’t align on anything but apparently they’ve nailed a flawless secret global fuel conspiracy. Incredible.
English
Headlines like this just go to show this fuel crisis is by design to usher in the Climate Change UN Agenda 2030!
Don’t worry about the toxic missiles being used overseas or the 1000 coal plants China has or the tonnes of minerals we are mining and exporting. It’s Australians who drive utes that’s the real problem.
Who cares about people’s ability to earn an income or to transport goods or simply to travel! It’s very clear the plan is t destroy this country and the lives of everyone here!
English
@jamieandrei @AvidCommentator FYI usage
South Korea: ~745 gallons per person/year
Australia: ~657 gallons per person/year
English
@0delay1 @AvidCommentator Erm.. Australia is approx. 80 times bigger than Korea.. where are they gunna drive? Inside their hirise units? They tiny.. we would use more then them.. trucks, trains, planes etc exponentially larger routes.. 😳..
English
@AvidCommentator Korea has 100m barrels of actual government reserves, fair.
But the ‘6 months’ stat you’re quoting includes private refinery stock.
You’re mixing categories to make it sound bigger than it is.
Btw their consumption per person is pretty close to ours.
English
@0delay1 Double in per capita consumption terms.
English
@jamieandrei @AvidCommentator It’s not all about size.
We have a population that’s more urbanised than the USA, Korea or China .. interesting strawman tho.

It’s becuse of the cyclone .
Why lie so much ?

🚨🇦🇺 Meanwhile in Australia
Petrol is already being sold out and everyone is already panic buying from the supermarkets.
Australia is much more reliant on Middle Eastern market, not aided by the fact it’s tyrannical government are currently out of control.
English
@AvidCommentator ‘Double Australia’s reserves’ sounds big until you realise they’ve got double the population. Per person it’s basically the same.
English
@0delay1 I disagree.
They have that oil on their land and no one can take that away from them.
They also have sizable public reserves which account for over half of their total reserves and are equal to more than double Australia's in their own right.
English
@AvidCommentator They have it on their land’ 😂 mate they import 100% of it. That’s not sovereign oil, it’s stock on a shelf. Calling it ‘reserves’ is just accounting. Australia runs supply chains and offshore holdings. Stop falling for headline stats.

@MadsMelbourne Almost like there’s some kind of war going on.

Doesn’t it seem strange to everyone that major refinery’s all across the world are going offline all at the same time!?!
