Cheaper power from renewables will actually free up cash in the economy to be spent in other areas. Renewables plus storage will provide much more flexible power. Hot day in the middle of February ? No problems with solar plus big storage. No shutting businesses down because fossil can't hack the pace.

No more peak periods. Just a flat electricity price that is available when the customer wants it. Not a system that is limited to what the generator can deliver as it is generated. No more costly peaker plants that run for a few hours per year.

Replace each decade ? More shockjock fake bs.

Interestingly, as renewables are eventually replaced, they are replaced by better, cheaper, more efficient versions of themselves, making the grid even better progressively. In small increments as opposed to decades waiting for baseload stations to be built. No legacy of 50 year old design holding back the economy.

E.g. 20- 30 year old coal plants are already inefficient, dirty and incredibly expensive to repair. And, the repairs take months at a time.

A renewable grid is constantly updating and adapting as we go.

Where are the lies - solar & wind in not making the power for SA (& ill the battery is NOT picking up the difference as you try to BS your way forward).

We do NOT need to be a first mover on this aging redundant, inconsistent tech which will be replaced soon enough.

By the way it has been below average temperatures for the last week or so. You climate driers need to now figurue out how to tax the populace to get the temperatures 'back to average' as this is simply unacceptable. I'm sure there is a tax that you can roll out now.
