The head of the Australian energy market operator AEMO, Daniel Westerman, has rejected nuclear power as a way to replace Australia's ageing coal-fired power stations, arguing that it is too slow and too expensive. In addition, baseload power sources are not competitive in a grid dominated by wind and solar energy anyway.

Did you notice yourself using the word "solar" in this conversation rather than "renewables"?

[–] PixelatedSaturn@lemmy.world 1 points 2 months ago (4 children)

Yes. I used renewables. But I used solar before because that was specifically the conversation. What a funny and irrelevant question.

FFS if you can't see that changing the topic of conversation effects the meaning of people's responses then I don't know what to tell you. I'm done here

Moves goalposts. Gets called on it. Acts like a dick. What a waste of space.

Oh. You are back! I thought you said you were done? But you decided try with insults again?

How cute. But you failed the first time, now it's just cringe 😂.

Too cringe for me I'm afraid. Bye.
