Tell the ABC to tell the Origin Zero Team to put solar panels on their roof tops to run their hungry little data centres. And buy plenty of batteries!🤣🤣😂

2moAs I see it this makes a strong case for nuclear energy! The data centres will provide the baseload the rest being fluctuations from the households. Industry will also provide steady demand. Something to be studied seriously because wind energy, solar panels and mickey mouse contraptions won’t help the energy requirments of the nation! I believe however that vested interests such as the massive investments in solar panel farms and other will sabotage this option by fueling the nuclear scare, something that the oil industry practiced to dissuade independence from oil!
