STOP PRESS. The costs of electricity are going through the stratosphere as shown 12/06/25, 5.30 pm AEST. In NSW the spot price was $11,124 MWh, Qld the spot price was $11,124 MWh, Vic the spot price was $11,258 MWh, SA the spot price was $9,938 MWh, and Tas the spot price was $9,617 MWh. These outrageous prices are affecting every aspect of our society, every Aged Care Home, every School, every house, apartment,
In the planning for the Draft 2025 Victorian Transmission Plan, it is looking forward to having 95% of electricity coming from Wind and Solar by 2035. And the Australian Energy Market Operator’s Draft 2024 Integrated System Plan (ISP) is planning the energy transition of the National Electricity Market (NEM) over the course of the next 20 years, in line with government policies to reach a net zero economy by 2050.
But what will Australia have after 2050? The first failure of solar and wind, is being only able to capture sunshine and wind, to convert it into electricity for a maximum of 8 hours (33%, if it is not raining or a wind drought) of every day. Blackouts are inevitable.
The second failure of Renewables is their short working life. Coal fired, gas fired, or nuclear powered, power stations have a working life of 60 to 80 years. BUT RENEWABLES IS ONLY 15 TO 20 YEARS AT BEST.
Therefor after 2050 most of the Renewables will be worn out, there will be blackouts, load shedding and power rationing. Rural areas will be covered in toxic Renewable graveyards, landscapes disfigured by wind turbine scarecrows. RUINED BY GREED!
AS THE TRUTH IS REVEALED, IT BECOMES MORE IMPORTANT THAT OUR PETITION TO STOP THE CLOSURE OF MORE AUSTRALIAN COAL FIRED POWER STATIONS KEEPS THEM RUNNING.
This includes Eraring NOW 2027, Yallourn NOW 2032), Bayswater in 2033, with Loyang A in 2045 and all other coal fired power stations.
And no consideration of them being closed be considered until assured supplies of base load electricity 24/7 is available from coal, gas or uranium powered generators. Even if this requires the coal fired generators be compulsory acquired by the relevant Government, in the National interest and to maintain the supply of base load electricity 24/7 that is essential to STOP the Grid from collapsing.
OUR PETITION TO KEEP OUR COAL FIRED POWER STATIONS RUNNING. Is educating everyone of how important coal fired power stations are to keeping the Grid from crashing.

YOUR SUPPORT FOR OUR PETITION WITH DONATIONS WILL BE REPAID WITH BASELOAD ELECTRICITY FOR THE NEXT CRITICAL FIFTEEN TO TWENTY YEARS. Be it $10, $20, $50 or $100 please make a donation and keep our petition in the public eye. AND KEEP THE BLACKOUTS AT BAY. The more signatures we get the more wins will keep coming and the coal fired power stations will be kept running. Promote the petition on Change.org and share it on Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, 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: Eastern States 12th June 4.25pm AEST. Batteries 0%, Biomass 0%, Black Coal 47% Brown Coal 12%, Gas 18%, Hydro 16% Diesel 1% Solar 3%, Wind 3%. 4.25pm a time when Solar only an hour away from entering its daily 16 hours (lack of fuel), zero production period. Unreliable wind is all over the place averaging only 3%, but ranging from a pathetic 0% in Vic and Tas up to 19% in SA.
To underline the importance of our coal fired generators 12/06/25, 4.25 pm AEST. In NSW coal is producing 70% Solar 1%, Wind 1%, Qld coal 69%, solar 5% wind 3% Vic Brown coal 61%, solar 1%, wind 0%. SA batteries 0%, gas 70%, solar 3%, wind 19% and Tas hydro 95%, wind 0%.
WITHOUT COAL AUSTRALIA WOULD BE BLACKED OUT.
STOP PRESS: WHAT CAN HAPPEN. South Australia 4th June 2024 9.05pm EST. Batteries 0%, Gas 97%, Diesel 3% Solar 0%, Wind 0%.
SA RENEWABLES CAPITAL OF AUSTRALIA WITH BATTERIES, SOLAR AND WIND PRODUCING NO ELECTRICITY, ZERO, NOTHING
We are up to 4,330 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? The possibility is too awful to contemplate.
WE MUST KEEP THOSE COAL FIRED GENERATORS GOING, TO KEEP OUR SOCIETY FROM HAVING BLACKOUTS, POWER RATIONING AND EXHORBITENT ENERGY PRICES.
