    Doesn't look superior to nuclear at all.

    Why cant you get the part time replaceable power to ramp up to capacity as required?

    This price increase is BECAUSE of green policy.

    Electricity costs are climbing again across Australia’s eastern seaboard after a prolonged stretch of cold weather coincided with a wind power drought, forcing expensive gas-fired generators to meet peak demand.

    In an update to be released on Wednesday, the Australian Energy Regulator reveals wholesale electricity prices – which retailers pay for power before supplying it to customers – rose sharply in every eastern state other than Queensland during the three months to June 30.

    Coinciding with soaring demand, output from renewables slumped across the period. Wind turbines contributed just 12 per cent of generation, their lowest quarterly share since 2021, while lower-than-average rainfall reduced output from hydroelectric dams.

    (They don't even mention batteries - why cant batteries supply a weeks worth of power to the country?? - They ARE cheaper..aren't they?)
