If only people didn’t overestimate their understanding of the process of electricity production, transmission and consumption. Oh and basic economics.
Bloody oath. Some people you couldn't think could get more whacky just keep doubling down.
Tiny country vs huge country. Less transmission lines required. Less transmission losses, voltage drop. Less infrastructure. The list goes on.
It's like licking a stamp vs licking an a3 sheet.
they are legit factors but peripheral. We can, and are to some extent, doing the same state by state, well populated region by region. Scotland is effectively a state or region of the UK. The Scotland/ Vic, southern SA, SE QLD are better comparisons.
The big difference? One country has a huge vested interest in coal and the other doesn't.
Yet there's a heavily invested private venture to sell Australian solar energy to Singapore. If private investors think it's viable and think they can send the power to Singapore, then surely the technology is there to overcome all of your above blockers.
Probably is. Old mate Dan was just over there a little while ago doing a few back yarders when he thought no-one was looking.
He's playing with fire, the trouble is it won't be him that gets burnt, it's us mugs.
Ooooh yeah. Old mate Chairman Xi is just quietly rummaging around n sinking hooks into countries all over the world. Sneaky bastard might just end up owning more than half of it before anyone wakes up n goes Oi. By then it'll be too late she cried n everyone will be running around in little Mao hats n coats eatin won tons n noodles for breakfast lunch n tea.
I could chow down on a bit of rice or noodles, but I'm stuffed if I'll eat bats, rats or cats.
Yep, Scotland, more room for solar, oh, wait a minute . . . less room for solar panels. More sunshine, oh, wait a minute . . . less sunshine. More room for wind farms, oh wait a minute . . .
You get the idea.
If Scotland can do this then we certainly can.
What about more offshore wind farms, solar farms all over the place, pumped hydro, tidal, solar collecting power stations.
Australia is missing a huge opportunity here beause of the shortsightedness of government after government.

Here's one link. Plenty of others on Google
Australian billionaire to back $14 billion solar power supply to Singapore: AFR
Atlassian Corp PLC <TEAM.O> co-founder Mike Cannon-Brookes has pledged to help fund a A$20 billion ($14 billion) project to supply solar power from northern Australia to Singapore by a subsea cable, an Australian newspaper reported on Wednesday.

Yep scary innit. Funny thing is we'd all be *smile* without climate in the first place n now everyone's screaming n crying because we've got some. People should just stop fussin n carrying on, making a drama out of everything n deal with whatever *smile* happens in front of them.
But then they can’t use it as a tool to impose their worldview on everyone else.
A week into February and Melbourne's yet to hit 30 degrees, and not forecast to get there in the next week. It's an outrage!
