I notice the heat is on Minister Bowen in the papers this morning.
Apparently, NSW has suffered through a scorching heat wave. A heat wave where Dubbo reached 30.6, Sydney reached 32.9, Coffs Harbour a whopping 28.9, and Ballina 28.1.
Since when was a 30-degree day in Sydney a heat wave?
The NSW Energy Minister said it’s very rare that we’d have five days of heat wave in November, and that’s what’s caused the crunch.
Well, I remember plenty of hot spells in November. And if you ask ChatGPT, a five-day heat wave in NSW is not rare!
To top it off, the NSW Premier asked residents to avoid using energy intensive household appliances between 3pm and 8pm, all to help the grid.
Are we heading down the path of energy blackouts, like we’ve seen across Europe?
Are we in danger of resembling a ‘third world country’ this summer?
Does this not prove that renewable energy is not reliable energy?
When we had coal power, we weren’t told to stop loading the dishwasher, stop washing the clothes, and please close your blinds and windows and doors, just to conserve energy.
Andrew Bolt was spot on today when he said it’s ‘infuriating that under this minister, Australians now pay $450 a year more for their electricity, yet can’t even count on the power staying on.
We are shooting ourselves in the foot by not pressing our natural advantage in coal and gas.
As Simon Benson says in The Australian today, making coal the villain of climate change but also the cause of power shortages is extraordinary…
Extraordinarily stupid, dangerous and unprecedented.
Renewable energy is not reliable!
We need to harness our strengths and resources, capitalise on clever technology and rescue this nation from this reckless renewable agenda.
