is the King Island experiment - a bad idea or a godsend?

saving 2.1 million liters of diesel

this is what I love when watching righties - it's a spectacular lack of imagination and vision in action - live

''The King Island Renewable Energy Integration Project (KIREIP) has made significant progress in transitioning the island towards renewable energy:
1. The project has successfully reduced diesel consumption on King Island by 50% over the past 10 years, saving 2.1 million liters of diesel and cutting carbon emissions by 5,700 tonnes annually[3].
2. King Island now draws about two-thirds of its annual electricity from renewable sources[3].
3. A new 1.5 MW solar farm was recently added to the project, comprising about 5,000 panels across a six-hectare site. This addition is expected to further reduce diesel consumption by 300,000 liters and cut carbon emissions by 800 tonnes annually[3].
4. The current system includes:
- 2.45 MW of wind generation
- 1.97 MW of solar generation (including the new 1.5 MW farm)
- A 3 MW/1.5 MWh battery energy storage system
- Two 1 MVA flywheels for system stability
- A 1.5 MW dynamic resistor to manage surplus renewable generation
- An aggregated customer demand response system[3][5]
5. The KIREIP system is now capable of 100% renewable operation, making it the only megawatt-class off-grid system with this capability in the world[3][5].
6. The project aims to eventually transition King Island away from diesel entirely[3].
7. King Island has become a renewable energy blueprint for isolated off-grid communities in Australia and around the world, demonstrating how to integrate wind, solar, and storage while reducing fossil fuel use and maintaining grid stability[3].
While the project has made substantial progress, it's worth noting that diesel generators with a combined capacity of 6 MW are still part of the system, indicating that the transition to 100% renewable energy is ongoing[3][5].

King Island is 1.1K sq km in size.

How much land will the swindle factories need to provide 24/7/365 electricity given that most of it is now usdforagrcultre?
