He remembered the fez but not meeting himself. I.E He remembered up to but not including meeting the future doctor.
Could be Australia or some other commonwealth country. (I add Australia as we also had a female PM)
The 140 employers are offset by the new employers at the expanded business.
1st the maintenance and replacement costs would subtract from the profit. So the $5/hour is pure profit.
2nd how do you go from $10/hour profit by yourself to $15/hour($10 to the employer + $5 to you ) profit when you hire people
3rd the extra $580/hour does not disappear but stays within the company building a savings.
The problem with that is people who only want to work part time are forced to work full time. Alternatively they make everyone overtime workers.
And possibly the renewable energy certificates which contribute ~1c/kwh to the wholesale cost.
Although now the FIT is only 8c/kwh instead of the 30c/kwh retail.
20% is the cost to generate the electricity(not 10%) 51% is the cost to move the electricity.
71% would be the price paid without any of the green schemes.
Most of the extra cost is the grid was predicted to use a lot more then was used. So the grid has to payback the investment,

From the $54
$27.50 network costs
$10.80 energy efficiency (and FITs which does not effect the cost of purchasing)
$10.80 to generate the electricity
$4.86 Carbon Tax.
Here in Australia if you use 1.5kw for 4 hours a day you would pay $54
Using a 10 year 8% loan that repayment would be $4000
http://www.lowenergydevelopments.com.au/1.5kW-Complete-Installation-Kit-Tin-roof-Tilt-Frame is 2,750 leaving $1000 to pay for installation.
That is assuming you have 1.5kw of usage for the 4 hours during the day for solar to offset.
How many acres are taken up by the users of the power from the power stations?
What I want to know is where you are getting $40,000 for 4kw
http://www.lowenergydevelopments.com.au/5kW-Complete-Installation-Kit Is only $8,495.00 for 5kw. Even including $10,000 for installation it only gets to $20,000.
The most noticeable thing I notice about your scenarios is electricity is not the biggest problem. And the most common is 1 in a 1000 years,
Given the wind is now one of the cheapest forms of power, using wind to power CO2 sequesters is probably a good match. Especially because you do not need base load for it. If you can turn the sequesters off quickly it is even better.
Or you use the wind electricity to make hydrocarbons.
Interesting you say volcanic dust could shut down solar. Despite at least two volcanoes shutting down a large part of air travel I have not seen any indication of solar panels being affected
How can they be sure the sun reduction will not lead to an Ice age?
They have looked at how much the reduction is predicted (in the worse case) to be and how much the CO2 increase is predicted to be.
And months of storage does not mean much compared with 70-300 years.
What happens when the remote mines get hit by the elements?
I think he is saying, if the sun was to drop to the lowest output on record we do not think it would lead to a Little Ice Age.
Now the sun may not drop to the lowest output which means his statement would not happen.
And it should be the law: If you use the word `paradigm' without knowing what the dictionary says it means, you go to jail. No exceptions. -- David Jones
