The technology to load shift is available, but getting it developed and implemented is one of the components that is missing from the overall power strategy in Aus.

Energy companies, like Ergon (Queensland) are actively trying to limit input, with a hard cap of 5kVa input for residential, and sometimes even as little as 3kVa in some more remote areas.

And while technology like liquid vanadium battery cells (long life, expandable by adding extra tanks of liquid electrolyte) exist, they are still prohibitively expensive.

There are plenty of solutions, but little appetite from the companies and governments, and very little knowledge among the end users. So while we're throwing cheap Chinese panels on rooves with gay abandon, I think it's a little early to brag about what a rampaging success Aus solar is because "lots of panels yo!".

Queensland, I think, and there are certainly copper deposits at Mt. Isa. Unfortunately Mt. Isa is a long way from civilisation... but I'm sure there are other deposits around.

Just think of how excited the Queensland Policeman from that other video would be about this water.

Queensland police troll Nickleback on twitter:

Wanted for crimes against music...

They must have changed the rules for security workers since the last time I worked security in Queensland back in the 90's, his ass would be flying off that train after the first 15 seconds... = \

What's the point of having security if they can't eject passengers who are being unruly and causing a disturbance?

Kids in queensland, bogan voice is strong with this one.

There are certainly penguins on the south coast of Australia, most famously their nesting spots Victor Harbour - http://www.tourismvictorharbor.com.au/whales_penguins.html and Phillip Island - http://www.penguins.org.au/

Their actual range goes at least as far north as New South Wales, but not quite southern Queensland (where Rustic Pathways are based).

Bummer ... another bad year for Queensland. Sad. Thoughts are with you.

Dag, how you survived Queensland as long as you did is beyond me.

Are mascots like these what happen when they want desperately to offend no-one?
"Nope, can't have that, looks a little Caucasian"
"Nope, can't have that, looks like a bear, people are afraid of bears"
"Nope, can't have that, looks like someone from the far north of Queensland, Australia"
I mean, they've just got rid of anything that could be identified as anything and ended up with two amorphous lumps.
Well fucking done.


On the plus side they're not as bad as the London 2012 Olympics logo that most people agree looks like Lisa Simpson giving a blowjob...

When I lived in Queensland, I used to play golf with cane toads

So that's Dr. John Cook right? Or John Cook the scientist?

OH Hey found a description, "John Cook the Climate Communication Fellow for the Global Change Institute at the University of Queensland...He is not a climate scientist."

Soooo he's a Public Relations guy?
