I live in WA and our state government is ridiculously, nakedly corrupted by the mining and gas industries.
WA can achieve the best wind and solar capacity factors in the world yet there hasn't been a single utility-scale wind or solar project completed in the last four years (although rooftop PV has absolutely gone nuts).
- nojvek 2y agoI was surprised to learn Aussie WA (Western Australia) has 40% higher electricity prices compared to Murican WA (Washington). Aussie WA could be having the dirt cheap electricity with utility-scale solar + batteries but they don't. Same could be said of US solar belt states though. I bet China will be laughing in a few decades with energy magnitude of order cheaper than gas guzzling nations.
