SCRAPPING NET ZERO HAS TO MEAN SCRAPPING THE TRANSITION TO RENEWABLES AND END DECARBONISING

The Liberal and National Parties are talking about scrapping Net Zero. But what do they really mean?

Does it just mean scrapping the idea of trying to get to net zero co2 emissions by 2050? While leaving the total failure of the Transition to Renewables, in place? 

NO IT MUST MEAN THE SCRAPPING OF THE TRANSITION TO RENEWABLES, IT IS THE ONLY RESULT.

The Transition to Renewables is a total failure, because it uses solar panels, that can only convert sunshine into electricity for a max 6 hours a day. With many days due to clouds and rain much less and even NOTHING. 

Along with wind turbines which the Wind Industry agrees only average 8 hours a day of converting wind into electricity. And with wind droughts, very often there are hours, days and even weeks, when wind turbines produce no electricity at all.

And lithium Battery Energy Storage Systems (BESS) and Pumped Hydro (Snowy 2, $40billion 20times over original costing). BESS’s and Pumped Hydro produce no electricity only store it and lose 20% or more in the storing and producing process. As solar and wind are failures, whether there will be any surplus electricity to store.

Then it has to be all joined up with tens of thousands of kms of (fire prone) HV Transmission Lines. Which cut through, divide and degrade thousands of hectares of valuable agricultural land, forests and important environmental landscapes.

THE SCRAPPING OF THE TRANSITION TO RENEWABLES IS INEVITABLE.

It all makes our petition extremely important: TO STOP THE CLOSURE OF ALL THE AUSTRALIAN COAL FIRED POWER STATIONS AND TO KEEP THEM RUNNING IS OF THE UTMOST IMPORTANCE.

This includes Eraring NOW 2029, 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 28/3/26 8.10pm AESDST.. Batteries 8%, Biomass 0%, Black Coal 46% Brown Coal 19%, Gas 3%, Hydro 10% Diesel 0% Solar 0%, Wind 11%.  8.10pm a time when solar is well into its average 17 hour, sunshine drought and wind might join it (as it is doing in NSW and QLD, only on 1% wind), in having a wind drought.

Meanwhile our coal fired generators are the backbone of the Grid. 28/3/26 8.10pm AESDST. In NSW coal is producing 78% Solar 0%, Wind 4%, Qld coal 73%, solar 0% wind 4% Vic Brown coal 69%, solar 0%, wind 27%. SA batteries 33%, gas 44%, solar 0%, wind 23% and Tas hydro 88%, wind 12%.

WITHOUT COAL AUSTRALIA WOULD BE BLACKED OUT.

AND AT THE SAME TIME SOME GENERATROS ARE BEING RUN AT A LOSS. As shown by these statistics what the generators are receiving for their Grid electricity. 28/3/26 8.10pm AESDST. In Qld the generators are only receiving $0.70cMWh.  NSW is being paid $37.89Mwh. SA is paying minus $4.00MWh (the generator is paying the Grid to take the power) Vic is paying minus $4.75MWh  (the generator is paying the Grid to take the power) and Tas is paying $72.24MWh.

WHO WOULD WANT TO RUN AN ELECTRICITY GENERATOR AT A LOSS!

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

In the current fuel crisis our petition is getting traction, we are up to 4,664 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
