This shows that 'renewables' will not be any sort of replacement for coal and gas. The only alternative to these proven fuels is nuclear.

You do realise that is a report of a report. Not the report. Grin

From your reference -

"Economists Joshua Gans and Andrew Leigh made the finding in a research paper, How Partisan is the Press?, that also said that on another measure of bias The Age slants towards Labor."

Wow economists now do bias. And they have different measures. Grin

And 2009?

Also -

"Overall, we find that the Australian media are quite centrist, with very few outlets being statistically distinguishable from the middle of Australian politics."

Here is the 2009 paper -

https://openresearch-repository.anu.edu.au/items/4a79702f-fb4e-4caf-a918-9abd0ba...

" On this metric, the only media outlet that is significantly slanted is ABC Channel 2 television news, which is significantly pro-Coalition during the period in question."

Wow. One period of time, an election year, and coverage of 107 "intellectuals". Grin

If the latest you can find is 2009 maybe your research skills aren't up to scratch.

Renewables are the only sensible answer to the question of where we get our society's energy from

If we had Hydro then maybe.

We have Hydro, Baron. Which is amazing, considering that we are the second driest continent on the planet. Tsk, tsk, tsk... Roll Eyes

Real hydro Bwhine not that pumped hydro BS that consumes more power than it produces.

How is Snowy Hydro 2 (pumped hydro) going? Over $12 billion and counting not predicted to work for another few years when it should have been operational years ago

Hydro is the cheapest and most reliable of renewables you can turn it on and off like a tap.

Why do all those pushing renewables never mention the cheapest form? Roll Eyes

A friend has a hunting cabin bottom of a valley so no wind shaded most of the day so solar isn't really viable.
Has a creek running through it small turbine gets around 250W 24 hours a day 7 days a week.

So you have no common sense. Who knew? Snowy 1 supplies irrigation and power. Too much irrigation the power available drops. Roll Eyes

It seems in the recent past there has been too much and too little for generation. And that is beyond the environmental degradation of the Snowy river.

I have not heard of the Snowy environment being "fixed". Wink

Australia will face pressure from the UK to set an ambitious goal after Keir Starmer’s Labour government committed to cut emissions by 81 per cent by 2035. *

Australia’s 2030 climate target, to cut emissions from 2005 levels by 43 per cent by 2030, is viewed as a relatively modest aim as it does not comply with the objective of the Paris Agreement for nations to commit to action consistent with limiting global warming to under 2 degrees.

Australia’s Climate Change Authority is currently considering responses to a draft target it issued in April to reduce emissions by 65 to 75 per cent by 2035.

* In the UK Nuclear power is a significant percentage of the yearly electricity source.
They are building more Nuclear plants.
