since when was solar thermal even a legitimate base-load option?

 

[Blastus]

since some green dude said it was on the drum which proves it

I've yet to see any advantages from getting in early other than allowing more time for a transitioning economy

we'll see what goes

What I'm more pessimistic about is the capacity of our government to facilitate an orderly transition to a low-carbon economy in the distant future. At that point in time the carbon-based energy sector and all those connected may well be in absolute chaos, and I think the political discourse at that point in time may be even more woeful then it is now. I've had the chance to interview a few local economic development professionals, and their 20 year predictions tend to be pretty abysmal in this regard. Many also think coal will be a dirty word in 20 years, which is also where a lot of support for a mining tax comes from. Right now there is certainly the will and the potential to lay down some pretty crucial infrastructure.

Funnily enough, Chemical Ali, there were indeed tax concessions for horse owners in Great Britain, America etc to assist their transition to public transport/automobile ownership, as well as the obvious public infrastructure investment to make automobile use far more feasible (graded --> graded sealed roads).

Oddly there isn't any details of said proposed tax.
So i don't know where this division is coming from.
It is best to hold judgement until such details are out rather than speculating possibilities and making rash judgments on that.

The climate change push has nothing whatever to do with the climate or global warming.

It is a political policy originated in the UN and embraced by Europe’s Greens and socialist left parties to de-industrialize the free world - what’s left of it.
