    So, you haven't said anything about the Portland Smelter ? Or Olympic dam ? South Australia's biggest consumer of electricity. Both running off SA's grid that is about 50% renewable.

    You can post all the cherry picked charts you like. They are largely irrelevant in that we don't have anywhere near enough renewable energy generation or storage in place now anyway . We couldn't power the country with this amount anyway so your cherry picked charts are pointless.

    Arguably we probably only have a fifth or a quarter of the amount we need to provide a meaningful
    chart.

    So instead, how about I post an example of an installation that is sized more to the load it has to cover, eh ? Let's have a look at that.

    Note that they are regularly putting a quarter or more of their generation into the load resistors to be lost as heat. And yet, they still manage to provide about 70%+ pa of the power required for the town.

    Imagine when they put in a decent sized storage system ?
