SA Greenies

** LOL - wot fucking green power ??

SA has long relied on coal derived watts from Vic and merely pretend to be "green" - while in fact, Sth Aussies live in a dream world, but wind up regularly in the dark.

The place is already famous for all the nuclear weapon tests carried out by the poms in the 50s - so they out to go nuke energy ASAP.

You know it makes sense ....

It will do in the not too distant future!
All that needed is a nationalisation of all power generation capacity,
and speeding up the building of all types of renewable energy generation
plants coupled with increased research efforts to resolve the issue of
access storage. Better batteries are already on the way!

Fossil fuel reliant generation is now a dead end industry.
Clean coal technology is a pie in the sky!

Where does the 'SA Greenies' or 'green' fit into the picture?

**The fault lies in several places. The big one, is when states began
privatising parts of the electricity and distribution system. It will
get worse, as the industry heads down it's 'death spiral'. Prices will
increase and more people will fit PV panels and batteries. As more
people go off-grid, suppliers will increase prices. The latest problem
occured with the French owned gas-fired power station. When SA requested
more power, the owner refused to start up the power station, because it
was not profitable enough.

It is insane. Electricity is a vital resource and must NEVER be allowed
to fall into the hands of private industry. Particularly foreign owned
ones.

Agree with all that, essential services should *not* be privatised in
any form. What other outcome can there be when such services are in
private hands?

Having said that, I would add that there are many people in a position
to generate their own power and won't do it... meanwhile, they'll keep
on bitching about the cost (and reliability) of grid electricity.

Spot on.
Good article here:

It's a scandal, really.

Yep.

Where does the 'SA Greenies' or 'green' fit into the picture?

The greenies have made a system that relies on wind power etc, have shut
down a coal fired generator and rely on other states for backup and if
the wind does not blow or they have a storm that damages things their
setup does not work well.

So, who are these 'greenies' you speak of?

The south Australian government is inclined to greenie views and is
attempting to run their power supply along green lines and it is not
working so far.

You sure they're not commies too?

It's not helping us in NSW, with the AEMO warning of rolling blackouts
later today as people return home from work and turn on air conditioners
just as the solar panel output is dropping because the sun is going down.

And that is part of the problem. People who can't cope without air con
and other than
reliance on such a fragile thing.

Let us go back to the old days where the old and infirm died because
they don't have any other strategy for coping with heat
The existence of those panels means that there is less incentive to
invest in peak load power generation capacity, since it will always be
undercut by solar when the sun is shining. But had that capacity
existed, we could have used it into the evening when it's needed.

If you had such a generator, it could earn you $14 per kWh at times
today.

The grid should shed those with solar panels first once the sun goes
down - but of course, it can't.

Shedding those solar panel owners would be grossly unfair anyway. The
power companies are onselling the power generated by those solar panel
owners for far more than the power companies are paying (or have ever
paid out for that power going into their grid).

And the greenie government that allowed it to happen.

When the governments held control of the electricity supplies, they kept
sufficient in reserve capacity to allow for such situations as we now
experience. Private operators, on the other hand, run lean and mean and
*that* is where the problem lies.

Tasmania has long had the cheapest, greenest and most reliable power you can have - Hydro Power.

So cheap that for umpteen decades, Aluminium smelters set up there to take advantage.

So cheap, it was worth running a super expensive, under-sea, DC cable all the way to Victoria in order to share it around.

So what gives Trev ??
