<p>And I just had a massive back n forth with some pro-nuclear bloke on twitter. Someone else joined in and started to pick a fight. I'm not even anti-nuke - think it is great if we can get it going safely, but all methods have to be tried (except coal - coal can fuck right off).</p>
<p> </p>
<p>But this guy wasn't just pro-nuke: he was pro-nuke to the exclusion of EVERYTHING ELSE BECAUSE I HAS JPGs N SHIT! I've attached one that was just subjective crap. His other stuff was at least evidence-based.</p>

<p>I'm about as pro-nuclear as they come, but solar makes sense - comparatively it's free.</p> -

<p>So basically this thread is about some Aussie getting 15 minutes of fame by getting a solar wall, badgering his wife into not using appliances or other devices that she finds convenient, sharing large quantities of data about such things as how much moonlight his house gets, then him using the power from his work to talk online about it?</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Each to their own hobby... not much different to going out and hitting a little white ball around a field for 4 hours, losing it numerous times and then always being pissed off because next time you think you will do better.</p>
<p>I guess when NTA plays golf though.. he makes Mrs Aussie carry his clubs (or more likely his neighbors clubs) and tells her to hurry the fuck up.</p> -

That surprises me. How could any woman resist a guy with a powerwall?
