just like my old Greenie mate says, "the wind is always blowing somewhere."

So if for example we need 10,000MWH of electricity you would need that much capacity in Victoria and if the wind wasn't blowing there another 10K capacity in WA and another in Qld. and so on plus solar plus storage etc. etc.
I have heard the head of the Snowy 11 quoted on radio saying the cost of the energy from the pumped storage would have to be $250.00/MWH. and that if a new HELE coal fired power station was built it would make Snowey pumped storage un-viable.
