Blackouts are becoming a 100% certainty caused by the delusional transition to Unreliable (Solar, Wind and Battery) Factories.
The photo shows the consequence of a recent fourteen-hour blackout (8pm to 10am) in Wangaratta. Whilst the blackout was caused by a storm cell and fallen trees, it showed the consequences of such a blackout can lead to a butcher shop (losing an unknown amount of stock) and certainly a day’s lucrative pre-Christmas trading, plus a bakery lost a day’s trading also, whether the staff were paid I do not know? And this is only a small part I know off.
BUT AS I HAVE SAID PREVIOUSLY ALL BUSINESS OWNERS, CEO’S, MANAGERS. BLACKOUTS ARE AN EXTREMELY SERIOUS ISSUE, TALK ABOUT THEM, PREPARE PLANS AND MAKE THOSE RESPONSIBLE FOR OUR POWER SUPPLIES VERY AWARE THAT WE WILL HOLD THEM ACCOUNTABLE AND THEY MAY LOSE THEIR JOBS.
The Australian Energy Market Operator (AEMO) has just released its Draft 2024 ISP Consultation (Roadmap for the Energy Transition). There is a .PDF that you can download and make submissions until the 16th February 2024 What I find remarkable is that by 2050 the AEMO expects there to be 57GW of Batteries, 126GW of wind and solar, 86GW of rooftop solar, energy consumption from the Grid to increase to 313Terra watt hours, Gas powered generation to increase to 16 GW and 100% of coal fired generators to be closed.
What the AEMO has failed to comprehend is that the Batteries will produce NOTHING on their own and if there is no surplus electricity to store they will remain flat. The 126GW of wind and solar, will be reduced to 47GW, when the lack of fuel (hours of Sunshine and intermittent wind is taken into account). The 86GW of rooftop solar is reduced to 32GW for the same reason. BUT WHAT IS THE MOST IMPORTANT IS THAT ALL THE BATTERIES, SOLAR AND WIND FACTORIES, PLUS ROOFTOP SOLAR WILL BE ALL WORN OUT AND USELESS BY 2050. AND AUSTRALIA WILL NO LONGER HAVE A FUNCTIONAL ELECTRICITY GRID.
That is why I agree with Daniel Wild of the Institute of Public Affairs, when he says the AEMO CEO Must Be Sacked For Failing To Ensure An Affordable, Secure And Reliable Energy Supply. https://ipa.org.au/publications-ipa/media-releases/aemo-ceo-must-be-sacked-for-failing-to-ensure-affordable-secure-and-reliable-energy-supply
WE NEED TO KEEP WHAT BASE LOAD POWER WE HAVE, AND IT IS IRRESPONSIBLE TO CLOSE A COAL FIRED POWER STATION BEFORE RELIABLE POWER GENERATORS ARE IN PLACE.
Continue to promote our petition as widely as possible. https://www.change.org/p/blackouts-will-be-devastating-they-must-be-avoided-at-all-costs I would value it if you are able to donate $20 or $50 to promote the petition on Change.org and also promote it on Facebook, Twitter, Whatsapp or Email.
KEEP INFORMED BY DAILY MONITORING THE AEMO DATA DASHBOARD. And alert your friends to watch the AEMO dashboard, the more know what's happening the better.
Particularly at 7pm and 7am (Or a time that suits you?) watch (and record) the mix of coal, gas hydro, batteries, solar and wind generation and the prices per MWh for each State on the AEMO dashboard.
Example: 11th Dec 10.05pm EDST. Batteries 0%, Biomass 0%, Black Coal 51%, Brown Coal 14%, Gas 9%, Hydro 9% Diesel 0% Solar 0%, Wind 16% (The unreliables Batteries, Solar and Wind a total of just 16%. I am afraid if we were relying on unreliables alone, Eastern Australia would be blacked out similar to North Korea).
With, SA having 0% batteries, 58% gas, 0% Diesel, 0% solar and 42% wind. Wow SA 42%, unreliables, but on a calm night, that could that drop to only 5%. And what would the price per MW be then?
Unreliables can be cheap for a few hours. But it is the average over 24hrs, that matters on your electricity bill.
We are up to 2,617 signatures, let’s increase it by many more, everyone’s future depends on it. Continue to spread the word, to all family, friends, anyone you meet, particularly discuss it with shop and business owners. Ask the question, “How do you plan to cope when the blackouts come? Are you thinking of buying a generator? I’m having second thoughts about the portable generator, but I have gas for cooking and heating. WE MUST KEEP THOSE COAL FIRED GENERATORS GOING, TO KEEP THE REFRIGERATORS AND FREEZERS FROM THAWING OUT.
