RIP Dad - Mobile Phones are P.I.T.A. I think. Called 'Smart' yet clearly not! Cut and Past CTRL C and CTRL P on my laptop (Right Click gives the options as well.)

Keep safe today. Fire Risk during today's heat. I am watching this for power today.

AEMO | NEM data dashboard



Only Tasmania with Hydro is really able to call itself sustainable IF it rains enough all the time which it never has!!


The misinformation or using Look at me data is also worth considering AEMO | NEM data dashboard

The flow on impact of part time power types is possibly shown with the RRP price increasing from $111.49 to $1649.85 and a massive peak RRP of $2565.12 (NSW)!

Why over supply of one type of power hurts the entire grid is clear! The failure to account for 24 hour, seven day a week 365 days a year with hype like we have enough wind and solar one or two days per year is shockingly poor accounting, disgraceful economics and just plain silly for anyone to swallow.




It's both Supply peak and Demand peaks of course. Today may be very hot for many people. Demand growth in the USA is a trend we will see here. We may be a bit slower of course. MacDonalds had chicken nuggets in the USA in 1986. We took a while before adding that rubbish here They do not seem to be chicken to me
The worlds power growth is 3.4% annually
Executive summary – Electricity 2024 – Analysis - IEA

What is clear is that worldwide growth in Demand is not evenly spread!
It will not slow down and never has "Particularly in advanced economies and China, electricity demand will be supported by the ongoing electrification of the residential and transport sectors, as well as a notable expansion of the data centre sector. The share of electricity in final energy consumption is estimated to have reached 20% in 2023, up from 18% in 2015. While this is progress, electrification needs to accelerate rapidly to meet the world’s decarbonisation targets. In the IEA’s Net Zero Emissions by 2050 Scenario, a pathway aligned with limiting global warming to 1.5 °C, electricity’s share in final energy consumption nears 30% in 2030."

About 85% of additional electricity demand through 2026 is set to come from outside advanced economies

Many or most of the world do not have even enough part time power.
