And look at Snowy 2.0 . Cost blow out after blowout. National Park being needlessly scared and impacted, and the tunnel boring machines progressing, at the rate so far of a couple of hundred METRES a year, and now stalled for months after opening a "sink hole", may be finished at this rate in 70 years!
$20B is the latest shaky estimate, without the interconnector wiring.
And it wont increase energy Supply, as it is just an in-efficiant battery at best; and a strain on the system to charge, compounding over time.
It will allow Redfin perch to defeat natural barriers to their introduction, and spread through the entire Murray/ Darling + catchments over time, decimating trout and native fishes, leaving muddied waters for all forever, all the way to the Bight.
Australia could sink 50 metres overnight, and eliminate ALL our CO2 emissions, and the world wouldn't notice we'd gone, from that point of veiw.
But jezz, they'ed miss our coal and gas and iron ore and lithium and uranium and cobalt and copper and nickel and gold and........ thats all. Not our CO2!
