So, in order to provide more "Green Electricity", Snowy Mountains Power is building a new 600mw power station.
Sounds Good? Except this isn't more Hydro, they're actually building a GAS-Fired power station. So how the heck is that Green? Well I'm glad you asked, because this is the truly genius bit. It will be able to run on HYDROGEN Gas. Yes, that's right folks, they'll be able to use electricity to produce Hydrogen gas, then burn that hydrogen to produce electricity. Why has nobody thought of this brilliant idea before? ![]() |

If you’re going to complain the world has gone mad - why not start by changing your username to “Sane Dazz”? :p

Oh, I see our angry facebook poster has returned here instead of starting his own blog elsewhere.
You are mad, YOUR reality is bonkers. Stop getting news from facebook or where ever. Haven't you heard of the Hunter Power project? It's mentioned on the same pages as snowy 2.0 but it's not in the same place. https://www.snowyhydro.com.au/hunter-power-project/ ![]() I mean what would you like to do? You know coal plants aren't getting built and the existing ones are closing. Hydro can't do everything and 2.0 is more of a battery really. So currently people are building gas etc. It's not green, but it's not greenies who want it anyway - they'd prefer solar and wind. But the resources sector is huge and powerful, it's them that are pushing the governments to gas! (or bringing up nuclear). E: anyway, snowy 2.0 isn't a green power supply, (that would be solar, wind or tidal instead). Snowy 2.0 is a pumped hydro plan, ie a battery. Still need to make power somewhere but those in power are getting lobbied by the resource industry and pushing gas upon us. Keeps those industries in business, keeps miners mining, and more employed servicing and maintaining it. Nothing green about it, it's not a green solution. It's about jobs etc. Last edited by oldel; 02-12-2021 at 12:32 AM. |

I said it's being BUILT by Snowy Hydro. Maybe stop getting your mummy to do your English Homework? Quote:

"Green" is apparently whatever the pollies say it is. They ARE claiming "Green" credentials, because this Gas-Fired station is capable of running on so-called "Green Hydrogen". ![]() Quote:
NB: Please stop stalking me on facebook, it's getting creepy. |

The government are the ones pushing this - AEMO have basically said it's not needed, there is enough capacity coming online over the next year or two to cover the shortfall due to Liddell's closure. |

Hi. Making hydrogen gas and burning it doesnt help the mining sector at all and if you burn it with the oxygen that you split it from when it was water the only waste products are heat and water. If they mix these gasses with what they are burning now they will get more energy out for no more pollution output and have a stable base load generation system still in place but fueled by green supply chains. Cheers MD

Mate, Just stay off social media, no news ect. Just worry about YOU and forget trying to get anyone here to understand you, Been there done that.
Seriously just focus on yourself. The world ( the people in it ) are a bit coo coo these days. The sad thing is they know why, But do nothing about it. ADDICTS |

What is madness, is in qld they are bulldozing 100s of hectares of pristine wilderness to put up wind farms.

Tidal energy is the way to go, we’re surrounded by oceans and seas, it never stops, is out of sight and is cheaper over the long term. If they insist on wind, again, we’re surrounded by oceans, put the bloody things out there! Blows my mind driving out Hepburn way and seeing all these turbines and maybe 8 of them are actually spinning. |
