Now, now muddy, you can only make that statement when you exclude hydro.

Iceland, Costa Rica, Albania - all 100% renewables when you include hydro.
Norway was 99.1% in 2021 and getting better.

I count eight countries at 100% renewables with hydro, another 2 at 99.8%, and a total of 21 countries above 90% renewables using figures from 2021.

Many of whom have power costs lower than Australia.

Even New Zealand is over 80%.

I'll agree Capex for Snowy 2 is higher than it should've been, but I don't know how you blame Labor for that one. The big cost blowouts happened under LNP - most of them caused by Angus Taylor parachuting his useless cronies into executive positions.

I like nuclear technology, but it is way too expensive for Australia. There's plenty of people who have explained why.

BTW you seem to have forgotten what rain is.

You lot like to confuse what is really a simple argument.

Are those places using pumped hydro.

How many of these dams were built inthe last 5 years.

The green movement is ALL about wind, solar & batteries..& balancing & connecting these stranded attempts at power producing.

Give me a number - all in costs to go green.
