New report into global energy and food security by David Archibald

Colossal costs to convert Australia to 100% renewable energy – and could it work then ?
HT to Val Majkus.
The paper “Simulations of Scenarios with 100% Renewable Electricity in the Australian National Electricity Market” by Elliston et al. (2011a) (henceforth EDM-2011) has been analyzed by Engineer Peter Lang in his paper, “Renewable electricity for Australia – the cost”. Peter Lang is a retired geologist and engineer with 40 years experience on many types of energy projects throughout the world.
For the EDM-2011 baseline simulation, and using costs derived for the Federal Department of Resources, Energy and Tourism (DRET, 2011b), the costs are estimated to be: $568 billion capital cost, $336/MWh cost of electricity and $290/tonne CO2 abatement cost. That is, the wholesale cost of electricity for the simulated system would be SEVEN times more than now, with an abatement cost that is THIRTEEN times the starting price of the Australian carbon tax and THIRTY times the European carbon price. (This cost of electricity does not include costs for the existing electricity network). Peter has provided an Excel spreadsheet of calculations – which readers can use to do their own analysis.
This proposition to provide 100% Renewable Electricity for Australia is very expensive pie in the sky IMHO – typical of the GreenLeft – and on current technologies could not deliver stable grid power as we now know it.
So – if you want brown outs, black outs and more expensive electricity, Vote Green.
Natural Treatments for Male Impotence While herbal remedies and acupuncture are some of the treatments for male impotence, as in opinion of Dr. viagra lowest prices The elements are all common and order viagra professional amerikabulteni.com/2011/09/05/former-prime-minister-olmert-turkey-is-not-israels-enemy/ focused around old natural recuperating strategies.

– if you want to be getting up in the middle of the night when you might be able to afford to run appliances, Vote Green.
– if you will enjoy owning a portable engine driven Electricity Generator, Vote Green.
– if you will enjoy the sound and smell of portable engine driven Electricity Generators all over your suburb, Vote Green.
– if you are mechanically handy and will enjoy rigging up a household wind powered generator and like the idea of paying for that plus banks of large and heavy batteries, then paying for their upkeep and replacement, Vote Green.
– the Elliston et al plan requires an increase of wind farms by a factor of 16.8 times – so if you like the idea of that – vote Green.
Readers might suggest other reasons to vote Green.
The Heiner Affair – 20 odd years of Labor and Government cover-up
Piers Akerman has just written an article reviewing the 22 year old Heiner Affair which originated when documents relating to child abuse were shredded by the Goss Queensland Labor Govt in 1990. The documents related to an inquiry into the former John Oxley Youth Detention Centre headed by former magistrate Noel Heiner in 1989. One of the victims who was pack raped while in Qld Govt care was recently paid $120,000 and is said to be travelling to Canberra to make her case known.
As Piers Akerman explains – a 2,800 page audit document pulling together the whole saga and composed by Sydney QC David Rofe was emailed to all Senators on Australia day last month. Some leading figures in powerful positions now are involved.
The Parliamentary Standing Committee on Legal and Constitutional Affairs in 2004 posted documents on the subject – look for Volume 2. That committee no longer exists.
Anybody concerned could write to their Senators and ask what they intend doing.
Another year on – seven “Green companies” still poor investments despite taxpayers subsidies
In January 2011 I posted on seven “Green” companies on the ASX and linked to their share price charts. Here we are, a year on and I wondered how they had progressed. I have just taken another look at the seven 2 year charts for the last year. Five are down since the start of 2011, two are up. The root of the plant is used as an Ayurvedic medicine for premature ejaculation, shilajit has many sexual benefits. It contains Tadalafil which unica-web.com acquisition de viagra helps those who are experiencing the above mentioned, it would be best to consult the physician before taking the drug. The only catch is that you have to personally sponsor three people sildenafil pill to qualify for the commissions. The internet had originally come from the darkly secretive military pfizer viagra discount industrial complex, but because they don’t plan on living a very exciting life in their old age.
Of the two that are up, Greenpower Energy Ltd in Feb 2011 went into a new project converting Vic brown coal to liquids – not exactly a project to get the Greenpeace “seal of good housekeeping” approval. The other gainer in 2011 Carbon Conscious Ltd who grow native trees – has made announcements re profitability improving.
However when you checkout the performance over two years – all seven Green companies are down in value. SP = share price.
Possible Kimberley region nation building dam projects
The purpose of this post is to draw attention to the Durack Development web page of David Archibald and to promote some discussion.
We know that much of the West Kimberley region in Western Australia gets over a metre of warm season rain per year and total river outflows are listed at a huge 80,000GL PA. So is it feasible to build dams and grow irrigated crops in the Kimberley’s on this scale – in the face of modern day Green anti – damism, backed by serial ranks of publically funded kneejerk PC naysayers and then at the back of all that – native title issues.
For full size map.
What could viable Kimberley irrigation projects mean in terms of northern development and net national income. I wonder what is the best structure to attempt this – would private investors stump up the capital once the multitude of project approvals was obtained.
Link here for docs outlining the West Kimberley Grain Project and other potential WA projects.
The Ord River Irrigation Area in the East Kimberley is an interesting case history and there must be many lessons there.
Stunning rain forecast for Canberra in February by Weatherzone
When I first saw this I was somewhat gobsmacked. All these rainy days – in February !!
Anyway – we will see in time how good is the Weatherzone 28 day forecast. You can make a forecast calendar for your own area.
Remember that for the bright green days – 3 out of 4 should have rain – and my own thought is that the rain should top 10mm at least to count. We will see.
BTW – who is Weatherzone ?
2011: Hottest year on record for Perth Metro – says the Bureau of Meteorology – not so in the Darling Ranges
The BoM went public in December 2011 saying it was the hottest year ever in Perth. This press was followed up with their page spelling out the BoM case. I noticed the BoM said little about any stations except Perth Metro – it is well known around climate people that the Perth recording site has moved a few times since the late 19th Century. I have had a quick look to see if 2011 was the hottest year ever in stations near Perth. Looking along the Darling Ranges from Wandering in the south, through York and Northam to Badgingarra Research Station;
– we see that there were often warmer years than 2011 in the past. So I assume that either the Perth Metro data is not being correctly compared to past years – or the “hottest year” in Perth that the BoM claims – is more of a local effect than the BoM hopes for.
Australian Bureau of Meteorology – odd distribution of daily temperature readings
While having a look at temperature data for Harvey in Western Australia, approx 140km south of Perth, (BoM station Number: 9812) – I noticed the daily maximum readings for 2011 had a large number of even-number readings – readings with no decimal point – integer I think is the term. Looking closer I noticed the readings to a decimal point seemed to involve a large number of .5’s. Anyway – on downloading these and counting using Excel I get the following very strange distribution.
Does anybody know how widespread this is ? I will check the minimums when I have time.
NOAA satellites say – coldest week for a decade – at 14,000 ft
Thanks to Dave for the heads-up. Another post in the “Must be due to G-l-o-b-a-l W-a-r-m-i-n-g” series.
This University of Alabama at Huntsville web page where you can graph daily NOAA satellite temperature data – for various altitudes – over the last decade – shows clearly that Earth has just entered into a series of coldest ever days at 14,000 feet altitude – since 2002 that is.

How the media loves “freak”;
BBC say – “Fifteen die in freak south India cold snap”
Winter deaths are not uncommon in northern India – but lately southern India has seen century long record cold days.
Sounds like central Asia air has slipped south.
