@dave sss re your post Post #: 72387931 (cannot use reply function)

You are having a go at me but are too nasty not to alert me. Normally I fly past your posts too.

OK so IMO you need some education in the English language given that you misunderstood my simple post.

I DID NOT say that the failure of coal power was a RUINABLES (renewables to you) problem.

What I said was that no one is bothering to spend money on maintenance of coal fired power stations because their USE BY DATE is nigh. The reason I gave was RUINABLES in the SENSE that it had been deemed that our power supply will come primarily from RUINABLES in the future and that the powers that be had deemed coal fired power to be a thing of the past ie to be gotten rid of.

Problem is that owners of coal fired power would need to see a shrink if they waste good money on maintaining coal plants in these circumstances - hence they are breaking down more frequently.

OK so this is where you need an English language teacher to sit next to you. WHAT I SAID was that if you want efficient and effective coal power plants you need to get rid of RUINABLES and go back to coal and guarantee that coal power would be the primary source of power for the next 70 years. This would give certainty to investors and you would see new wall to wall coal-fired power stations running smoothly.

That is all. That is a question of policy. It does NOT amount to blaming RUINABLES - it is GUVNUT policy to do away with coal and move to RUINABLES!!!!!
