The point of warfare is to kill and win, but the means to that end must be considered. The bloodlust of mankind is seldom, if ever, suppressed at the point of considering some advantage. Then again, warfare has been a history of unfair advantages through technological innovation hidden from the enemy. Tim and Andrew discuss some of those technological advances in history, our latest technological advance (drones), and the complexity of warfare. And, please, can we remember to pray for those who have to make the actual decisions about international relations and war?***Mentioned in the episode:Carnage and Culture: Landmark Battles in the Rise to Western Power by Victor Davis HansonFlannery O'Connor: "If other ages felt less, they saw more, even though they saw with the bind, prophetical, unsentimental eye of acceptance, which is to say, of faith. In the absence of this faith now, we govern by tenderness. It is a tenderness which, long since cut off from the person of Christ, is wrapped in theory. When tenderness is detached from the source of tenderness, its logical outcome is terror. It ends in forced-labor camps and in the fumes of the gas chamber" (from A Memoir of Mary Ann).Modern Times by Paul Johnson***Out of Our Minds Podcast: Pastors Who Say What They Think.

Interview with Adam Kiley, CEO of Frontier Energy Ltd.Our previous interview: https://www.cruxinvestor.com/posts/frontier-energy-asxfhe-grid-connected-developer-eyes-major-role-in-was-82-renewable-push-6479Recording date: 31st March 2025Frontier Energy is advancing its Waroona Renewable Energy Project in Western Australia after being selected as one of four successful applicants for the federal government's $67 billion Capacity Investment Scheme (CIS). The scheme provides a crucial 15-year revenue floor guarantee, underwritten by the federal government, which helps secure debt financing by ensuring minimum revenue levels even during market downturns.CEO Adam Kiley explained the significance: "What CIS does overall for projects such as ours is essentially an underwriting by the federal government for a contract of up to 15 years which provides a revenue floor for the project moving forward." The arrangement also includes a profit-sharing mechanism where Frontier would share 50% of profits with the government if energy prices exceed a certain ceiling.The company is currently selecting a strategic partner from shortlisted candidates to help cover the equity gap and secure favorable debt terms. Kiley emphasized this would be "a partnership on the way through," not a takeover by a larger entity.The initial Stage 1 project consists of a 120-megawatt solar facility combined with an 80-megawatt/4.75-hour battery storage system, expected to begin production in late 2027. This hybrid approach maximizes revenue by fully charging the battery daily and discharging during peak demand periods when prices are highest.Frontier has substantial expansion potential on its 820-hectare land holding, with Stage 1 utilizing only about 300 hectares. Environmental spring surveys have been completed for the additional land, with Stage 2 potentially doubling the project size.The project's timing aligns strategically with Western Australia's energy transition, as coal (currently 30% of the grid) is scheduled to be phased out by 2029. This creates an energy supply gap that Frontier is positioned to help fill. Additionally, grid limitations restrict how quickly new renewable energy projects can be developed, giving Frontier an advantage with their already approved connection points.Frontier recently appointed Guy Chalkley as Chairman, bringing valuable energy sector experience from his roles as former CEO of Western Power and current CEO of Endeavor Energy.The company sees 2025 as pivotal, with securing the strategic partnership representing "the big rerating event for this company," transforming it from a speculative renewable developer to a funded project with a clear path to revenue.View Frontier Energy's company profile: https://www.cruxinvestor.com/companies/frontier-energySign up for Crux Investor: https://cruxinvestor.com

What are the potential risks Victor sees in a shifting global power dynamic where western confidence may wane, and what might be the consequences for deterrence and global stability? How does Victor's latest book contribute to the understanding of warfare and human nature, and why does he believe this understanding is crucial for modern defenders? Victor Davis Hanson is an American classicist, military historian, columnist, and farmer. He is known for his expertise in ancient warfare, classical history, and contemporary politics. Hanson has written extensively on these topics and is a regular contributor to publications such as National Review and The Wall Street Journal. He has also authored numerous books, including "Carnage and Culture: Landmark Battles in the Rise of Western Power" and "The Second World Wars: How the First Global Conflict Was Fought and Won," which have garnered significant attention and acclaim for their insights into historical events and their relevance to modern times. Hanson's perspectives often align with a conservative viewpoint, and he is known for his critiques of contemporary political and cultural trends, particularly those he sees as diverging from traditional values or endangering Western civilization. He is affiliated with the Hoover Institution at Stanford University and frequently appears as a commentator on television and radio programs. We talk about: 00:00 Ran farm, started language program, now researcher. 04:56 Destruction of cultures and vulnerable countries discussed. 08:48 Large immigration without assimilation leads to paradox. 10:42 Immigrants make demands, natives lack confidence. 16:19 Predictable behavior in war due to misinformation. 17:48 NATO and EU are larger economy. 24:01 Mixed views on Putin; criticism over policies. 25:39 Tucker's Trump-like ideology 30:40 Young people delaying major life milestones 31:30 Declining birth rates in Western countries concern. 36:18 Wealthy almond farmers drive cultural and social change. 40:30 Universities fail to prepare for job demands. 44:01 Western malaise: Europeans unease with cultural heritage. 48:10 United States should be worried about race. 49:18 US supports European idea despite Europe's criticism.

Is democracy and the idea of citizenship deteriorating because of the state of our country's education system? Victor Davis Hanson is the Martin and Illie Anderson Senior Fellow at the Hoover Institution at Stanford University. He's written more than 25 books in the realm of classics, military history, and the American political system. His latest book, The Dying Citizen: How Progressive Elites, Tribalism, and Globalization Are Destroying the Idea of America, explores what it means to be an American. Victor and Greg discuss the modern threats to citizenship, the disappearing middle class, and how America's education system may be exacerbating the problem.  *unSILOed Podcast is produced by University FM.*Episode Quotes:Is the decline of classics and the decline of liberal arts education the same things?32:16: Classics is an intensification of a history or a literature major, but it's the foundation of it. It had a much greater burden because it required or centered on two difficult languages, which you can become an English major or a history major without that as an undergraduate. But they're the same thing. They were the idea that you had a reverence for the past. You didn't go back and try to use the standards of the present to judge people in the past necessarily. You made moral judgments, but that wasn't the intent of history per se. In addition, through the use of literature and historical examples and writing, discussing, and debating, you develop oral fluency. You learn how to write grammatically correct English and stylistically engaging English. You thought. You were inductive. You didn't go into a class where the professor said if you say this particular gender is evil, the subtext is, and then you deduce examples that prove that.On globalism51:21: Globalism is a synonym for American popular culture in many ways. We have the most dynamic culture that has very few prerequisites to participate in, as Europe does. But the more sinister thing is: it's an elite-driven phenomenon.The power of citizenship02:33: Citizenship is very rare in history. It's usually either the person ruled or is either a member of a tribal organization, a mere resident, a subject, a serf, or a slave. But the idea that a citizen is empowered to self-govern and to create the conditions under which government exists by the consent of the governed doesn't exist anywhere outside the Mediterranean or before the 7th century.The shifting dynamics of race, class, and gender17:33: We used to talk about race, class, gender, race, class, gender, but class has disappeared. When you hear that mantra, it's usually race and gender. And this was very brilliant on the part of the left because class is a mobile, fluid concept, and a very successful capitalist society. One generation does not guarantee, necessarily, that they're all going to be in the class of their parents. I can tell you from my own family that's true, both positively and negatively. Races, if you fixate on it, so if you say race is the entire definition of deprivation, bias, racism, and not class, then it's immutable; it's forever.Show Links:Recommended Resources:ThucydidesTacitusDemocracy in America by Alexis de TocquevilleHerodotusBattles of Lexington and ConcordMichel FoucaultWar!

Recording date: 24th July 2023Nickel continues rangebound in $20,500-$21,500 range with LME inventories remaining low at 37-38,000 tonnesAfter nickel price move off the $20,000 range about 10 days ago, sulphate prices actually softened a little as the big surge in June ores for NMC cathodes in China hasn't continued through yet for July /August  - so sulphate discounts retraced some of the narrowing we've seen in last few weeks. On NPI front, NPI prices surprisingly actually ticked up about 2%.  Thought we would see sulphate discounts narrow pretty fully before NPI started moving higher but good to see  Not lots of news, but couple of key pieces of newsNickel refining capacity - The London Metal Exchange has approved nickel produced by China's Zhejiang Huayou Cobalt Co. for delivery under its new fast track registration system for its new refinery in China.  Huayou, GEM, CNGR all building refineries in Indo/China and will follow down a similar path.This is key piece in “great convergence” which will allow market clearing mechanism to move from NPI/matte discounts back to LME price.   Should see ~200ktpa of capacity come online by end 2024 and nearly 100ktpa of LME deliverable nickel produced in 2023.This scale of numbers given that given current annualized surplus is estimated by INSG in 100-200kt range which in  May fell by 1/4 to 144kt annualized form ~200ktpa annualized.  I still believe that these figures are overstated as don't see large inventories in market and wouldn't see discounts reducing if these inventories available to market.Poseidon Nickel – comment from subscriber online that wanted thoughts on this announcement.  Last week mentioned their exploration at success at other past producing mine – Emily Ann/Maggie HaysPoseidon was restarting Black Swan/Silver Swan operations – one of few nickel mills in Western Australia and mine operated for short period of time in 2008-2009 – now announced last week deferring restart until 2024 for following reasons: Western Power has advised grid power will be available from late 2024 · Additional metallurgical testwork will be conducted to confirm recovery assumptions for the disseminated serpentinite ore · Decision made to defer the restart of Black Swan due to project related factors and external market conditionsFrom release quote: “These project related factors together with the continuing tightness in the WA labour market, the lack of the availability of Kalgoorlie FIFO accommodation ….”Highlights 4 key issues:Availability of infrastructure– no grid power until end 2024, (could use generators, but much more expensiveAvailability of people and ability to support them – talks about fly in fly out – most of Western Australia with a few exceptions is massive fly in, fly out operation.  Is expensive, and highly competitive Importance of nickel concentrate grades - Release talks about certain ore feed producing only 5-6% nickel concentrate with high mgO content – big plus of deposits like Crawford is ability to produce much higher grade nickel concentrate.  Most nickel concentrates are only 10-15% nickel Parallel project design – need to integrate resource/mine design/mineralogy/metallurgical testing so always understand how feed will perform. Is good they found out now rather than in operation, but would have been better if found before putting FS out last year.

Unlike the rest of North America, the West's power grid outside California is a patchwork of utility fiefdoms generating, wheeling and distributing electricity. Centralized electricity markets dominate the rest of the continent.There is widespread consensus in the energy industry that the West needs greater coordination if it's going to decarbonize and keep the lights on in millions of homes from New Mexico to British Columbia. Two organizations—the Southwest Power Pool and the California ISO—are pushing competing proposals to create a day-ahead and real-time market in the West.NewsData's Abigail Sawyer, Jason Fordney and Dan Catchpole have been closely covering these evolutions. They recently sat down to discuss the proposals, what's happened so far and what could happen next.Read more coverage from NewsData's Clearing Up and California Energy Markets.

The South Fremantle Power Station has been sitting idle for more than three decades with no future plans in sight. Colin Barnett, Former WA Premier told Oliver Peterson on Perth Live it is time for the station to be demolished. "It's a Power Station that has simply out-lived its life. There's a lot of contamination around the site, some that was cleaned up by Western Power at a considerable expensive, " he told Oly. "The McGowan genuinely has tried to find a use for it, but I think the reality is, it's a massive building that;s been closed for 40 years. It's declining, there's concrete cancers through it and I imagine to try and save that building will cost tens and tens of millions of dollars."See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Western Power's changes earlier this year applies to home builds or replacements for existing mains supply in rural WA and require a circuit breaker attached to the power supply if more than 32 amps are used at any one time. Electrical contractor and Real Steel Electrics owner Ian Willis told Liam Bartlett on 6PR Mornings the rule changes for rural properties would prove problematic, particularly as many rural property owners require water pumps. "Every time a pump starts, it draws a lot of current for a very short period of time... that might just take it over the limit... if someone goes shopping and comes back, their power's tripped out, and all of a sudden their freezer has defrosted," he said. "It's just not fair, it's un-Australian."  The average kettle uses about 10 amps, while air-conditioners have a current draw of 25 amps.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

A report tabled today to State Parliament has found the State Government has done little in six years to protect subcontractors on projects. WA Auditor General Caroline Spencer told Liam Bartlett on 6PR Mornings that subcontractors on state government projects had benefited by successive reforms that increased protection for workers. "But subbies are still exposed on state government construction projects, because some of the reforms aren't being implemented by state government entities," she said. Some of the projects examined by the Auditor General included those at Perth Children's Hospital and ones being managed by Western Power.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

While power has been restored at Perth Airport after an outage caused by a thunderstorm, there are still thousands of homes across the metropolitan area in the dark. Acting executive for asset operations at Western Power, Zane Christmas, said some crews worked throughout the evening to restore power to homes in the suburbs. "We've got about 4000 customers without power in the metro and close to 4,000 in the South West," he told Liam Bartlett on 6PR Mornings. WA Bureau of Meteorology duty forecaster Jessica Lingard said record wind gusts around the metro area caused 9.5 m swells at Rottnest and Garden islands but relief was in sight. "Then through this afternoon we'll see some easing of the winds but the systems that have been causing these winds are slowly moving to the east," she said.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

DFES acting Chief Superintendent of the Metro area Peter Sutton said 19 SES units were currently responding to requests for assistance across the state. "We recommend people don't go boating, and if you don't need to drive during these stormy conditions, it'd be best to avoid it," he said. Western Power acting executive for Asset Operations Zane Christmas told Breakfast people should report any power hazards to the utility. "Our crews are prioritising those hazards and where they can restore power but given the weather conditions, we do think it will take most of today to restore," he said.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

The wild weather from a once-a-year storm has created dangerous conditions on our the roads, with debris, flooding and bins in some areas flying down streets. Western Power said on Tuesday morning more than 32,000 customers across the state are currently without power. 9 News Perth reporter Ashtyn Hiren told 6PR Breakfast host Gareth Parker it was "weather mayhem" at popular Port Beach in Port Leighton. "If you can't avoid being by the coast, I would highly recommend it. We just got hit by a big round of hail and sideways rain," she told Parker.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Western Power partnered with commercial and industrial businesses in Western Australia to build flexibility services into customer solutions as a way to create a more sustainable, reliable and innovative network for the future. With Western Power's customers now not only consuming energy but also supplying energy, they needed to change the way the network is managed to enable this two-way flow of energy. At critical times of low loads, this means curtailing solar generation and increasing loads like charging batteries or scheduling processes such as pumping water.Through this program, Western Australian businesses can determine the best way to manage their distributed energy resources in a way that meets their needs and provides network support, in return for compensation by Western Power.The program was implemented in a very short time frame. Western Power selected Schneider Electric to provide the platform in April of 2020, with implementation, customer recruitment all happening before September 2020. The first of two control seasons concluded in November.This innovative program is one of the ways this forward-thinking utility is smoothing out their ‘duck curve' into a ‘platypus' and enabling a future where more renewables can be connected to the grid.

As a follow-up to 'Afghanistan Reconquered by the Taliban,' let us take a closer look at the ideas that contributed to the failure of the Afghan government to hold the country against Taliban aggression, and the failure of the U.S. government to nation-build a feudal-minded Islamist culture into the 21st century. Meanwhile, Hank Barrien at The Daily Wire reported yesterday 'Seizing on U.S. Weakness, China Warns Taiwan U.S. Will Not Defend Them.' NBC News presents President Biden's full speech addressing the nation on Afghanistan yesterday, taking no questions from reporters, and promptly returning to his vacation at Camp David. For more backstory on Afghanistan, check out 'Why Afghanistan Is Impossible to Conquer' by Real Life Lore on Nebula, and 'Afghanistan 1979' on Curiosity Stream. Also read 'Carnage and Culture: Landmark Battles in the Rise to Western Power' by Victor Davis Hanson. In sum, ideas have consequences. Elections have consequences because ideas have consequences. And ideas are upstream of elections. And as Sextus asks Messala in Ben-Hur (1959), 'How do you fight an idea?' Messala was right about one thing. You fight ideas with other - and better - ideas. --- This episode is sponsored by · Anchor: The easiest way to make a podcast. https://anchor.fm/app --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/garrett-ashley-mullet/message Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/garrett-ashley-mullet/support

In this episode, we have invited Ivy Chen, Principal Consultant of CSA Global and Director of Australasian Institute of Mining and Metallurgy (AusIMM) to the show. Ivy is also a Director at Western Power and Football West. Ivy is a skilled and knowledgeable geologist whose adept at incorporating technologies to various mining projects and excellent at diversified training. Her current role sees her auditig IPS to ensure that they pose a balanced view - a view that is important given that the resources industry leans toward optimism. Ivy chose an interesting career path out of university. Working with ASIC! A great listen for all. It was a pleasure to have Ivy with us. Ivy’s Career Journey [02:25] Ivy had always been in Australia but her expertise allowed her to represent as a trainer for the first Australian-Chinese joint venture in Shanxi Province. She taught a group of older Chinese geologist how to use computer-aided mined planning. [03:26] Ivy was amazed on how previous generation geologist draws highly-detailed maps and for her to translate them into a modern computer system is challenging yet fulfilling. Life as Principal Consultant [05:02] Ivy’s work, in a nutshell, is a to be a “Bulldust Detector” where she tests the risk disclosure of mining companies and see if there’s a balance between upside and downside. The mining industry are optimist and loves their project, but this love is the reason why companies tend to forget all the good things. It is her job to take detailed technical reports aided with lawyers to help everyone understand where the risk are and how well they are disclosed. Directorship Learnings [07:38] Ivy learned that a non-executive director is vastly different from someone being on operations. As a non-executive director, you are hands-off on the operation—you cannot tell anyone what they should and interfere with what the CEO is doing. All you do is ask questions, challenge their assumptions, and make them think outside the box that would allow them to craft solutions for any situation. Diversity [09:02] The mining industry is headed to the right direction when it comes to diversity. Ivy emphasizes that it should just be about gender, but also age and ability. She thinks that the mining industry is not great at accommodating disabled people who can contribute many things. Inclusivity should encompass everyone, even those who are different from the norm. The mining industry is headed there, but there are still things to improve. Issues [11:35] Ivy felt that the mining industry have not defined any clear solutions when it comes to social license and environmental issues with climate change on the bigger picture. The industry should learn how to measure and quantify reports for these critical issues that people outside the industry can understand. [12:29] The mining industry should show to other industry that they are better. With this, investments flows in and offers on lower interest rates. If the industry will not pay attention into this, Ivy thinks that everyone will lose their social license to operate. Everyone should be conscious of it and ensure to avoid it from happening. Leaders of Tomorrow [13:07] Ivy hopes that the leaders of tomorrow should understand social license and not take it for granted. Social license covers everything – family, friends, colleagues – in other words, the society. The mining industry is not separated from the rest. Everyone is a family and that is important for future leaders to understand. Social license is not just a check box for a compliance list—it is something deeper and meaningful.   Learn more about Ivy Chen on: LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/ivy-chen-06764613/

Currently there are 61,000 homes across the Western Power network without power. Paul Entwistle, Spokesperson for Western Power says that "the whole focus at the moment is on hazard mitigation and control” and that people could be without power for some time as they wait for the storm to abate so they can safely get their crews out.  

Western Power is a Western Australian State Government owned corporation. Their vision is "to deliver on the changing energy needs of Western Australians, powered by community trust and the passion of our people." As an electric utility company, they are not expected to innovate much as they have not much demand to do so.

In the wake of Mark McGowan's crushing victory in last weekend's Western Australian election, MUA State Secretary Chris Cain was quick to remind the Premier-elect of the contribution made by the union movement to his win, telling the press, "We've delivered for them so it's not too much to expect them to deliver for working-class people." Alex Whisson began by asking the long-standing union leader what confidence he had in McGowan's ability to deliver on his promises, especially with respect to keeping Western Power and the Fremantle Port in public hands.

In the first of three Conversation podcasts on the Western Australian election, we talk to Natalie Mast at the University of Western Australia, Premier Colin Barnett and ABC election analyst Antony Green. Saturday's election potentially carries a hefty national punch. The polls are running strongly against the Liberal government. If Colin Barnett loses, the federal Liberals will become even more jittery, although the defeat would be due primarily to state factors. The election will also test the power of Pauline Hanson's One Nation as a disruptor, with the party set to win state upper house seats. Hanson is on the campaign trail all this week. Her latest provocative comments on immunisation, Vladimir Putin and Muslims - she said on Monday Muslims had changed Australian suburbs - continue to highlight the dubious deal the WA Liberals have done with One Nation on preferences. The deal has alienated some among both Liberal and One Nation supporters. Barnett is anxious to keep maximum distance from Hanson, insisting the preference swap doesn't indicate any wider convergence. He admits that while some people will be unhappy with the deal, “I think overall it will improve the Liberal Party vote. And can I stress there's no agreement with One Nation. I don't endorse their policies. I don't endorse their candidates and there is no agreement about any role in government about legislation or policy.” ABC election analyst Antony Green. Pat Hutchens/TCBarnett, who is promising - ambitiously, given the government's unpopularity - to sell 51% of Western Power, is highly critical of the way the national energy debate has gone. After saying at a news conference on Tuesday there was no such thing as clean coal, Barnett told The Conversation: “Coal has relatively high levels of emissions. Higher quality coal tends to have lower emissions per unit of energy produced. In Western Australia we have had good long-term policies on natural gas and for a power station of an equivalent size, gas powered generation produces less than half of the emissions of coal. So if you want to clean up the energy system in Australia, it seems to me that the bleeding obvious thing to do is to make more use of natural gas in Australia,” he said. He says he watches “with bewilderment” the national debate on energy policy. “Australia, with its huge natural resources of coal, of natural gas, of uranium and so on, has got itself into an absolute mess over energy policy.”
