Why would you create a toxic waste dump when there is no good reason to do so ?
Jobs you say ?
How about Australian jobs in green steel ?
How about jobs in green hydrogen ?
How about jobs in building Vanadium batteries ?
How about jobs in offshore wind ?
How about jobs in pumped hydro ?
How about jobs in high voltage transmission ?
South Australia leads the world in renewable energy . Setting the stage for large grid batteries that are now used all around the world . Grid forming inverters. Another technology being trialed here that people from all over the world are following.
Jobs that are happening today . Not in 30 years .
" now the numbers for such a plant do stack up. "
Post the numbers . Put up or shut up.
