        $4b on one Snowy 2.0 or $4b on a large number of battery sites, I know which one I think is better.

        And it takes 100 days to build a decent battery Many of them would help the energy conundrum while Snowy 2.0 was still in the planning stage 😊👏🎉

        Oh, c'mon @thepmo @JoshFrydenberg The Snowy 2.0 is nothing more than a smoke screen. Come clean and call it for what it is. @LiberalAus

        Of course it a dog. One of the biggest boondoggles of all time and there have been many. Back of the napkin stuff, reminiscent of Conroy’s nbn. MT should know better.

        How about guillotine powered electricity and you can also make more revenue by selling tickets.

        Hydroelectricity is a great based load, clean and green and there's less maintenance per kilowatt-hour produced so I know which one I'd go for and I'm an industrial Sparky.

        Typical of Australia everyone telling us why we can’t do it. A good start to 2018 will be for media and politicians to focus on the possibilities and enormous opportunities we have in Australia
