The Power Failure Down Under: How Green Energy Wrecked South Australia

wind and solar powerThe irrepressible Australian science blogger Jo Nova has visited Britain with some very important advice about how we can have a more woke electricity grid. 

Inspired by events in South Australia, she explains how we too can experience the joy of blackouts: bringing us closer to nature, relieving our children from screen addiction, and helping us to see the stars more clearly.

Not to forget of course that blackouts are the ‘only 100 percent antidote to the BBC . . . the only time it isn’t biased.’ Who could ask for more than that?

With more energy resources per capita than almost any place on Earth, Australia has somehow managed to take the top spot for electricity prices, a truly outstanding achievement.

You must watch Nova’s excellent guide, How to Destroy a Perfectly Good Electricity Grid in Three Easy Steps, to find out exactly how it’s done.

    Just imagine sitting and watching a game and just before your home steam scores your power gose out all because you sold out to the idea of Green Energy all over this Global Warming/Climate Change hoax just like with the Archoraptor,Piltdown Man,The Hitler Diaries and Al Capone’s Vaults and The Cardiff Giant Global Warming/Climate Change is the worlds biggist scam jobs in the history of all Mankind

      Just imagine having an important term paper due tomorrow and the power goes out. Imagine being dependant on an oxygen concentrator and the power fails. What about finalizing a big software project for an important customer and the power fails and remains off for awhile.

      California, this is your future. You are just as stupid as South Australia used to be.

      That brings up “Barnum’s Theory” – You can fool all of the people some of the time, and that’s enough…..

    Jo Nova is a great presenter. I attended this presentation, so it was better live, but the irony level is so high you have to stay tuned 😉

    This is really worth watching, because of the way she exposes the massive science and economic denial of renewable energy policies in Australia, at the bleeding edge of the consequences of regressive renewable policy. I was particularly interested in the way she presents how the economics are regressively manipulated to make renewables appear less ridiculous. It is similar elsewhere, but less impactfully explained by those who can.

    It is similar because bureaucrats and economists are not that bright but the lawmakers are less so and easily fooled or bought by renewable lobbyists, as in the UK, so the same UN inspired con can be repeated globally. There are some great lines:

    You have to nationalise a grid because “you can’t destroy it properly until its joined up and run by the government.”

    On the way to deploy renewables on the grid “You gotta cripple the free market which works against you all the time”.

    The way everything works together on the grid, or not, is the right way to look at any electrical energy generation, transmission and distribution system. Never mind the climate change, follow the money.

    I endorse this message.
