Cost to industry in the millions .
Don`t you warmists alarmists understand that the wind doesn`t blow continuously ?
The lovely things about warmists including Di natale is that after the fiasco in victoria with renewables failing and expensive gas needed because haxelwood was shut down by Andrews they double up and call for a greater percentage of intermittent sources.
However warmists never debate they just skirt the truths ,deflect or ridicule like Di Natale.
As you rightly point out, there was some load shedding at the peak. Planned for but necessary and unfortunate all the same.
However, blaming all those outages of renewables or even fossil for that matter is just plain bs. Most of the outages were from local failures. Switchyards, trasformers etc failing in the heat.
Increased loads on old distribution systems on really hot days caused by excessive use of air conditioning that wasn't there 10 years ago.
Absolutely nothing to do with renewables. You are simple talking through your hat.
In fact, because there was only 4% from wind ( I notice you haven't mentioned solar
) , it appears that it was the fossil fueled generators that couldn't cut the mustard.
You keep blabbing on about people that think the wind blows constantly . How about you post proof of
anyone actually saying that ?
