Morning all

How's everyone going? hopefully not too 'stir crazy' ATM

Here's a nice little Sunday morning read! (seeing now that we all have a little bit more time on our hands these days )

The world's energy order is changing — and China is set to reap the strategic benefits
https://www.abc.net.au/news/2020-04-19/the-worlds-energy-order-is-changing-china-to-reap-benefits/12161912

I like this statement "Australia's economically-demonstrated solar and wind energy resources are estimated to be 75 per cent greater than its combined coal, gas, oil and uranium resources.". You are going to need to store that energy somewhere me thinks
If only we didn't have a government tied to the old FF industries . They are just pissed that they can't tax the sun or the wind (or the storage) hence I think another reason for the delay in roll-out here in Oz

I think this virus thing has really shown up the weaknesses in the global energy chain and reliance to the old world order..............
(I do remember reading somewhere recently of the idea of setting up a energy farm in Oz and sending the energy to Singapore!)

Not only can you smell that change in the air we are now reading in the Main stream media
