Even nuclear needs to be coupled with storage…

Dutton’s nuclear plan a $4trn hit to the economy: Chalmers afr.com/politics/federal/dut…

The Coalition’s proposed nuclear agenda would be disastrous for power bills, existing and future rooftop solar and for renewable energy investment.

Nicks plans to close the last of his company’s coal fired generators by 2035 and its Bayswater plant by 2033. The company has no intention of waiting for nuclear. “When coal goes, if we don’t get the replacement capacity in place we don’t have a business” reneweconomy.com.au/agl-hail…

'Heel raar' @AukeHoekstra, duurzaamheidsexpert en onderzoeker aan de @TUeindhoven, heeft er geen goed woord voor over dat de wegenbelasting zo hoog gaat uitvallen. Hij vindt het onverstandig. "Ik vind het echt heel raar. Het ene moment zijn we elektrische auto's heel erg aan het stimuleren, en nu schieten we weer de andere kant op. Daarmee gooien we onze koploperspositie weer weg." Volgens Hoeksta is Nederland een gidsland geworden in de wereld op het gebied van elektrische auto's en de laadinfrastructuur. "We lopen nog steeds voorop. Nergens op de wereld zie je zoveel laadpalen. Echt iets om trots op te zijn." Hoekstra vreest dat het nieuwe kabinet niks gaat veranderen aan de belastingmaatregel die eraan komt. De partijen die nu onderhandelen over een nieuw kabinet staan erom bekend de elektrische rijders te 'bashen', zegt hij. ⚡️⚡️⚡️ #alwaysbecharging #netherlands #BEV #taxes
