And not a lack of coal. You know like a lack of sunshine or a lack of wind.

So where exactly did I support more coal?

You are getting more like tgd in reading between the lines.

Wow. The Climate Council, those bureaucrats who know nothing of nuclear, apart from what they were told on mummy's knee.

David Karoly - Climate alarmist

John Stone - Transport

Grant Blakshi - General practitioner and public health communicator

George Carter - Climate Diplomacy expert

Nicki Hutley - Economist - "She has extensive experience modelling the impacts of the CPRS, RET and Feed-in Tariff Schemes, undertaken over several years on behalf of Government, private sector, industry and peak body clients." so knowledge of how to access grants.

Dinah Arndt - Climate Communications

I'll just give you just what I know.

AEMO have cut their maintenance on coal plants not wanting to overspend on coal plants due to decommissioning plans. This has lead to a less reliable system and in my mind sabotage.

Batteries are not the answer, even if you had 500mw/hr of battery power that gets you one hour, what happens then.

Thats assuming you have the ability to keep the batteries at full storage capacity.

At the moment the reliance on coal and gas when there is no wind or cloudy skies.

The only reason coal becomes a problem in hot weather is when you run them too hard but generally that has never been a problem. Wind turbines need to shut down in strong winds more often than coal plants due to hot weather.

Coal has proven beyond doubt it is the most consistent and reliable energy provider we have.

The last black out due “ in part” to renewables-


“ On the afternoon of 28 September 2016, South Australia (SA) experienced a state-wide blackout. It was triggered by severe weather that damaged transmission and distribution assets, which was followed by reduced wind farm output and a loss of synchronism that caused the loss of the Heywood Interconnector.”

It was not due to renewables.  It was due to poor maintenance of the power transmission line towers.  They had been basically left to rot and not had any maintenance done on them.  They would have failed if renewables or non-renewables had supplied the power that they carried.  Tsk, tsk, tsk...

BS 

It's never been unreliable

the infrastructure has been allowed to age with a lack of maintenance.

Why is "gas" the most expensive fossil fuel?

The export prices should have nothing to do with it's ready availability here.

Coal, Gas or nuclear infrastructure will last 3 times as long as renewables like solar & wind that have an average of 10 years before replacement is required.

So saying nuclear is twice the cost is a fallacy.

The CSIRO is a govt funded institution ... it's halcyon days are long gone ... and it affirms what the Govt want it to affirm.

Wouldn't be bought science?

Gas is the most expensive but that is due to administrative burdens.

WA synergy providers have a gas contract which commits them to purchasing a set amount of gas regardless of them using it, even if they don't use it they still have to pay for it.

Each year synergy scramble to use reserve gas they have paid for but have not used. It is kept in reserve for emergencies but they lose what they don't use.

Coal plants are run inefficiently to cater for the flucuations of renewables, most coal plants run the most efficient at more than 80% capacity but because they need to have spinning reserve coal plants are turned down to 30-50% which makes them less efficient.

So we cannot rely on the scientists from the Government bodies that provide the information Politicians rely upon to make informed decisions....Instead you rely upon bullshit to push a false narative....The fact Coal power infrastructure has aged and is no longer reliable seams to escape you and instead you claim it is still reliable despite most being past their retirement age and being closed down by 2035....The Coalition used a Partisan report into renewables that was bought science whilst refusing to release any details of their own policy

I note you have not provided any report that supports your bullshit....Provide evidence of your claims instead of claiming the experts are corrupt and wrong....Over too you dickhead to back up your bullshit!!!
