I am amazed that givemethecash can write such rubbish at a time the NEM is experiencing an April-May-June wind drought the scale of which destroys the Albo Gov plans to use renewables to get to NetZero. Not only this huge wind drought but Hydro too is "weak as piss" this year Albos mob were carrying on in question time yesterday that I glimpsed for a few mins - as though the current 3 month wind drought is not happening across the NEM.
The "Great Autumn 2024 3 Month Wind Drought" kills renewables as a path to Net Zero.The party is OVER.Where’s the wind gone, through 2024 Q2? … with June perhaps even worse than April or May! (not my headline - a headline from the renewables industry) https://wattclarity.com.au/articles/2024/06/22june-lowwind-2024-q2/ Click on the wind gen chart to enlarge that full screen size
Premier Minns saw the truth on 23 May when he extended the life of Eraring coal fired, he knew that gas alone can not backup failed wind.
Hydro is no saviour either - see the latest analysis of hydro generation over multi years by WattClarity from the renewables industry Here is their 23Jun hydro headline - A similar trended view of the aggregate production from Hydro Discharge across the NEM through 2024 Q2 Click on the hydro chart to enlarge that full screen size and see years and years of evidence re actual NEM hydro generation. https://wattclarity.com.au/articles/2024/06/23june-hydro-2024-q2/ facts staring us all in the face. I have said in the past "Hydro is only a 'Bit Player' in the NEM" Another example of recent madness is the Fed money going into a 2nd Bass St undersea cable link "Marinus" What the X$ck is that about when Tassie is a net IMPORTER. We want NEM electricity generation "muscled up" not degraded.
