Blah, blah, blah.

The coal trolls have been saying for the last few years " just wait till summer ".

Suggesting that those unreliable renewables will let us down. Despite all that, the blackouts haven't come.

In fact, it is renewables that have helped do the heavy lifting on the really hot days. Each year as more renewables are rolled out, the better off we are.

" Around 100,000 WA households were plunged into darkness on Friday night, as a failure caused by a fire at a “baseload” gas-fired power station forced the market operator to cut power to homes to prevent a larger scale blackout across the state. "

Looking forward to the day when the coal loving federal government will actually get behind AEMO and come up with a policy.

You say renewables have been doing the heavy lifting.

Like today at about midday when wind was going hell for leather at 6% of its capacity. Heavy lifting indeed!
