    meanwhile in Australia, where development of renewable energy sources was retarded by a fossil fuel funded conservative LNP govt in the period 2013-2022, renewable output can't get anywhere near German levels.

    and, according to RenewEconomy, renewable output hit a 4-year low on Wednesday.

    here's the start of the report.

    RENEW ECONOMY:

    "The output of renewable energy on Australia’s main grid hit its lowest level in four years early on Wednesday morning, as both wind and solar performance fell below average levels in what is already usually a weak time of the year.

    "The four-year low for instantaneous renewable output was record at 4.15 am on Wednesday morning when it fell to 7.66 per cent, the lowest share since it hit allow of 5.05am on June 6, 2020.

    "The downturn was not just instanteous either. Geoff Eldridge, an energy analyst from GPE NEMLog observe it was also the lowest one day mean output on the main grid for renewables for two years at just 5,561 MW, and the lowest one day rolling mean share of 20.9 per cent for three years."
