@AFnewsroom Will you still seat children next to unknown adults and then charge to move them into the empty seat next to you? Oh and then say there is nothing you can do about it?

#AirFrance continues to upgrade its long-haul Business cabin offer. The airline has introduced mattress pads #Sofitel My Bed, Sofitel’s top-of-the-line bedding collection, on every long-haul Business class seat. corporate.airfrance.com/en/news/air-fr…

@airfrance How are you the best airline when you seat children away from their parents (despite your policy not to) and then charge to move them into the vacant seat next to one of the parents?

For the fourth consecutive year, Air France has been awarded 5 stars in the APEX world ranking of the best airlines. Thank you for your trust!

@DavidOsmond8 Is there a report that shows the volume weighted (or similar) price of the price setter in the NEM markets by source? Ie. Batteries set the market 10% of the time with an average price of $150/MWh

Thread: Each week I run a simulation of Australia’s main electricity grid using rescaled generation data to show that it can get very close to 100% renewable electricity with 24GW/120GWh of storage (5 hrs at av demand) Results: Last week: 100% RE Last 215 weeks: 98.5% RE (1/5)

@VGrubsky @DavidOsmond8 Same thing you do now when a coal power plant blows a poof poof valve and they can't get enough other generation into the mix

@DavidOsmond8 What happens when you have a bad weather patch and this amount of storage isn’t enough?

@airfrance why did I get charged to move my child to the free seat next to me in the same class? I have submitted a claim but Apparently seating a child next to unknown adults "fully complies with your obligations and commercial policies" - which is wild. Please explain...

@airfrance Airfrance is good, when they do what they say they will do. On the other hand, they don't do what they say they will do. For example - they will seat your children next to other people, and then charge you to move your child to the free seat next to you in the same class.

@DavidOsmond8 @c28why @OpenNem Question: how do you know it's economic curtailment? Are you basing this on low/no/negative pricing?

@c28why @OpenNem Clarification: utility solar and wind are averaging 135 GWh/d. So curtailment of utility VRE is averaging 10%, though it's higher for utility PV than for wind. Note that most of this curtailment is economic rather than grid curtailment.

On the Open Electricity website you can preview upcoming features with the lab icon selector in the bottom-right. There may be a new preview feature there now 🤫 👀

@BieglerTom @DavidOsmond8 Life was easy. Sadly those generators are old and ailing. And to replace them like for like would be expensive and continue polluting.

@DavidOsmond8 I can recall when all generators were synchronous. Oh happy days!

Great news. SA now only needs to run one synchronous generator (gas) for system security reasons (was 2). This reduces the min amount of gas SA needs from ~80MW down to ~40 MW. In turn, this will reduce the annual average gas requirements down by ~16 MW (from ~20% to 19%) (cont)

@jenmarketting @DavidOsmond8 I don't understand responses like this. You make a statement, have it rebutted and you rely on an infantile response like this?

@DavidOsmond8 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤡

@StuartMilneeee @DavidOsmond8 Don't forget the frontier projection also involves a massive reduction in industrial load - see manufacturers moving offshore.

@DavidOsmond8 It probably does if those coal plants retire on time. But then it's all but gone towards 2050. What about the ISP plan. It seems to have an incredible proportion of gas in it, no matter where you look. And forever.

Excellent analysis of Dutton's plan to reserve gas for Australia's domestic market. It shows the quantity of gas is small compared to what would be required to replace the retiring coal plants, to fill the gap before nuclear could possibly come online. reneweconomy.com.au/duttons-gas-pl…

Oh dear.

@KTce2020 @PollBludger There are a few in there you could say are balanced. Some of those probably not - but more to the right than left. Just remember just because it may be to the left of you, doesn't mean it is left.

@PollBludger Fair enough. I guess there is aways ABC, Guardian, Nine, Saturday Paper, SBS, Ten … to balance on the left

The Courier Mail's take on the Queensland government's breach of one of its central promises to voters in the regional areas where the LNP cleaned up in October.

@geekus123 @flexibledragnet @DavidOsmond8 This is an infantile argument. If everyone with 3 pets stopped speeding, do you agree that the drop in car crashes (which drives road trauma) would be negligible.

@flexibledragnet @Zoiks @DavidOsmond8 I'll explain my issue, but first, let's confirm some facts. If AUS disappears today, generating zero emissions, do you agree the drop in global GHG atmospheric levels (which drives global warming) would be negligible?

@geekus123 @DavidOsmond8 How does keeping coal open going to lower prices when it cost billions to keep them semi operational. Let's ignore your climate change denial tendencies in this conversation?

@DavidOsmond8 I think our goal should be to cut prices quickly. Our economy is suffering because we're rushing toward renewables, which have no impact on climate anyway. The best approach, in my opinion, is keeping coal plants open, boosting gas supply, and deregulating the market.

@geekus123 @flexibledragnet @DavidOsmond8 Yes I agree on the national security bit which is why China is prioritizing renewables energy over coal and nuclear.

@flexibledragnet @DavidOsmond8 I don't deny there's a climate change. I deny the falsehood that Australia has any impact on global climate irrespective of what it does. China has 3.3K coal plants today and builds a new one every week. India isn't far behind. Cheap energy is a matter of national security.

@geekus123 @flexibledragnet @DavidOsmond8 Just as you said you can compare AU to US. Comparing it to China is equally if not more absurd. China adds more than our total generation capacity in a couple of months. Our coal gen is old. We have to plough billions into it to keep them semi operational. RE is cheaper.

@flexibledragnet @DavidOsmond8 China's net zero goal is somewhere in 2060. Why are we rushing to it instead of doing it properly without destroying Australian manufacturing and damaging our own economy? Saying it would have any impact on climate is a lie. In absolute greenhouse emissions, we add nothing.

@SpangledShimmer @DfromtheC @DanHenTRUTHFOX @WhiteHouse Once again. Does this show professionalism and dignity? Or do we want a cess pit and a race to the bottom?

@TheLege2 @mattjcan @macquariebank Ahh adults in charge. I hear that a lot from the right side of politics. Tony Abbott proclaimed it no? Then proceeded to ignore multiple election promises, remove a energy and carbon policy but not replace it. Also ignored nuclear. Adults indeed.

@Zoiks @mattjcan @macquariebank This country faces a bleak future if Labor are allowed to go down the net zero road. It's time the adults stood up and took charge. Cheap, reliable energy is everything to our future standard of living. If we insist on lower emissions, nuclear is the answer.

Congratulations to @macquariebank for being the first Aussie bank to leave the failing Net Zero Banking Alliance. Let's hope all our banks get back to supporting ALL Australian businesses to make our country stronger. That should be their sole focus!

@sham_mitchell5 @lhilakari @Macquarie You can replace me. I want a future for my kids.

@lhilakari @Macquarie Thanks for letting us know. Good one to switch to.

They never cared about our planet. Only ever cared about profit. Just wanted to green-wash when they thought it was popular. Science be damned, just like the climate. Never use @Macquarie bank, everyone can do better.

@TheLege2 @mattjcan @macquariebank Tell me sir. Where has the bipartisan support come from? How many years did the LNP create with uncertainty given they couldn't land an energy policy (but managed to rip one up). Then they turn around and use nuclear as a method to continue the uncertainty.

@mattjcan @macquariebank The whole net zero thing needs to be tossed in the trash, where it belongs, and energy security become the focus - with bipartisan support. Only that way will private capital be attracted to these shores
