That post is somewhat more conciliatory, explanatory and less heroic than the claim of the first.

You seem to have a victimhood style in your posting and take offence at much less than the stuff aimed by some of your fellow AGW acolytes pile on others.

Tas renewable energy “Has been there”
Its Hydro and always “been there” except for the emergency gas plant near Georgetown, which by the way has been used often in order to maintain power supply to Tas because of the failure of the Bass Strait cable.

The states dams were run down supplying the mainland of Australia at a cost of diminishing Tasmanian state power security running the storage down to circa 20% in the chase to satisfy green credentials to mainlanders and at huge increases in energy costs to Tasmanians.

The wind farm projects at Cape Grim, Musselroe Bay, Cape Portland Lost Farm, Cattle Hill etc Are surplus to Tas’ needs and placed as rent seeking assets to satisfy the North.
These have come at great cost to Tasmanians and their environment and will be exacerbated by the Marinus project (If it comes. about) at further massive environmental degradation including the mooted Robbins Island and Stanley wind farms.
These are unwanted by the few Tasmanians aware of the impending destruction the added projects will cause and as more people become aware will create an issue as big as the ( ironically) Franklin Dam furore of the Eighties IMO.
It should be remembered that Government has a lot of wants in many sectors of the economy and by many pressure groups.
Ones wants need to be considered in the context of the whole.
Expecting your (one’s) wishes over others in one’s own time frame could be considered greedy if it comes at the expense of others .
The Utopia some seek should be viewed with reality glasses, and realisation that all of us want to live in a happy safe healthy world. A simplistic approach to timelines and the aspirations of the proponents must take in to account a reasonable transition period to achieve ‘sustainable’ goals accounting for the dislocations perpetrated on others in poorly thought out approaches.

The idea posited by many here that Scomo is wantonly undertaking a wilful degradation of lifestyles of Australians is simply partisanship - quite superfluous to to the debate you stated you wish to have when you started the thread.
Note:
I have responded to your post and not infringed upon your time in an attempt to ‘derail’ as the formicacae antagonist Ant
has inferred of those not in complete agreement with you and particularly his ascerbic monotheistic ventings.
I have responded in good faith and don’t require an ad hominem attack for my trouble.
Thank you in anticipation.

Lol.

And the arrogance, ignorance and condescension continues.

" The states dams were run down supplying the mainland of Australia at a cost of diminishing Tasmanian state power security running the storage down to circa 20% in the chase to satisfy green credentials to mainlanders and at huge increases in energy costs to Tasmanians. "

That is , quite simply, bs.

The dams were run down to maximise profits. They were caught out by the failure of the cable and the longer than anticipated repair time. Even the reason the cable failed was down to poor management of the asset.
Hence, a considerable change in management policy of the asset has been applied since.

Tasmanians are very happy to provide electricity to the mainland. They are very enthusiastic about their 200% renewable energy target. Apart from further underlining Tasmania's green credentials, something they are very proud of btw, it is because it brings more jobs and commerce to Tasmania. Tasmania has long suffered from poor employment opportunities for it's youth. More renewable energy out of Tasmania helps to reduce that.

And then I see the underlining climate denier agenda oozing out of the seams yet again in your post.

" A simplistic approach to timelines and the aspirations of the proponents must take in to account a reasonable transition period to achieve ‘sustainable’ goals accounting for the dislocations perpetrated on others in poorly thought out approaches. "

The Tasmanian big battery project has demonstrated how better existing assets can be utilised for a much smaller price as compared to other projects such as Snowy 2.0. Tasmanians leveraging off existing assets and seizing new opportunities to help advance the state.

I'm sure Tasmanians are very happy to contribute even further to Australia reducing it's CO2 emissions .

As for your ScoMuppet flag waving.

He continues to embarrass Australia by ducking and weaving on emission policy. We haven't forgotten about his " big banana " comments or his " there goes the weekend " lies in the previous election campaign. He has confirmed his opposition to change by committing to underwriting a gas powered electricity generator despite the entire industry telling him that it is not needed.

Partisanship ? Absolutely. That's exactly what you and the ScoMuppet are demonstrating with your arrogant views on emission reduction.
