Seems like the 2,601GWh was replaced by 1,058GWh Gas 0,662Gwh Imports. 0,078GWh Rooftop PV 0,062GWh Diesel and small non-scheduled generation 0,021GWh Wind
What should they have replaced the coal with instead?
And what happens if you get less miners? Well the difficultly drops so it requires less electricity to mine there by making it profitable again to mine..
Fees by themselves are there to allow miners to make a bit extra.. The miners will pick the transactions with the highest fees first and include in the blocks, so if there are loads of unconfirmed transactions people will choose to pay a higher fee to have their transactions complete faster. But even then, when we had the issue with loads of unconfirmed transactions i still could make payments with low fees, but they took forever before being included (confirmed) in a block.
If you look far into the future, when all payable blocks have been mined, it will only be transaction-fees that will pay for the miners.
If bitcoin will survive i think we will have bitcoin-miners in everything where we have a need to generate heat from electricity. Why push electricity thru a resistor to generate heat when we can have a
CPU/ASIC/FPGA/whatever using the same amount of electricity to do bitcoin-calculations and still generate the same amount of heat, with the benefit of collecting some transaction-fees. Of course the miners will have to drop down quite a bit in price for that to happen.
Or you use a heat pump and get more heat for the same amount of electricity.
Or you end up with a more expensive model that sells less.
Even if it was inbetween the two.
Overheads are the same but people who would of brought the cheap one do not buy. Those who would of brought the expensive one do not create as much profit.

I have seen many times the connector run the other way. Exporting power to Vic from SA.
The coal was shutdown due to it not being able to make money.
It was the national grid that did not let the gas plant run during the blackout not SA.
Why not just feather the turbines to reduce generation?
Unless you count ability to assist to grandchildren and great grandchildren. But that is only a small effect.
Solar is not even close to the required energy density
High altitude mine = going down it has ore, going up it is empty.
Technically the birthday paradox does not completely apply.
If John Smith TN and John Smith NY share a birthday it does not matter to the Indiana John Smith.
Really?
Or can it run 100 cars on a single track with no vision required?
Also we are breaking part of the loop.
Cutting down plants and not replacing them.
If it is a solar sail then you get to make it orbit the sun and accelerate and decelerate to keep it in-between the sun and the earth.
Only way you can keep it above the poles too.
I have.
Put all that lumber in a pile and cover it with clay so the air can't get to it. Then set it on fire.
Soon you have 100% carbon.
Thing is CH4 decays in the air to CO2 in the medium term.
Well in this case I think the power is coming from the geothermal plant.
And for the solar and wind, energy payback times seem to be less then 3 and 1 years respectively.
Unless you do not replant the forest.
Then you add carbon to the atmosphere.
Can you show me an ISIS group that facebook knows about and has not banned. Or is it a group that they don't know about?

Apparently 256AES quantum computing is about equal to 128AES classic computer for security.

I.e it is more expensive.
Haven't studies shown that their is more infrasound at the beach and in office then around windfarms?
How do you protect the first vist?
How long did it take NASA to get human into space from first rocket?
How long is it going to take NASA to get human space flight again?
Can you name any car company that has stopped their cars from catching fire?
I think it is a case of here is the mission. Can we land this rocket?
They don't have an option of trying little by little.
Of course the natives are less fundamentalist then people who have moved to "get in touch" with their religion.
Only the most hardcore people would move because of any ideology.
Why don't you look for everyone who threatens your group?
Do you not know about them until they target you personally?
