AEMO says five new transmission line projects should be progressed "as urgently as possible"Hundreds of people in a regional Victorian community are campaigning against lines set to go through their town
The Myers family are among hundreds of people in Daylesford and surrounding areas that are campaigning against huge transmission lines set to go through their town, 140 kilometres north-west of Melbourne. Renewables investor John Martin knows that better than anyone. After years working in finance, he started investing in renewable energy in 2017 and has overseen the development of dozens of large projects in Australia, the US, Africa and elsewhere.
His previous investment business, New Energy Solar, built the farm in 2018, and at first everything was perfect. "Plenty of power is being generated by renewable energy resources with simply not enough transmission capacity to get it to load," Mr Martin says. Mr Corbell said that, if the government fixed the transmission network, investors would flock to the market.
However, it's that massive rollout that could leave the government at loggerheads with communities like the one the Myers live in.
Germany spends over $700b on RE over the last 20 years and only achieves 20% output. Australians told they can beat that in 8 years with 15% of the budget. Are we also moving Harry Potter to the non fiction section?
Let's start by making the ABC subscription only?see how that flies
Free trade and self supply bring the world peace.
Abc finally starting to question the narrative
All it takes is a high pressure system to sit over the east of Australia for a few days for windmills to be made expensive paper weights. Yet people think building more will solve their fundamental flaw.
The Aarts students of the left finally beginning to understand what engineers have been telling them for 10 years now; wind & solar ain’t cheap and easy, wind and solar operate 30% (cf) of the time… you’ll build all this and still rely on fossil fuels.. it’s inevitable
The major challenge is that it is not physically possible.
You've learned nothing from Europe's failures. When it all collapses, you won't be able to blame anything than your own idiotic wilful blindness.
I don't get fucking our farmers around with climate change action. Taxing them more because of carbon emissions, installing Transmission lines on their land reducing what they can do on their land, reducing the value of their land etc. They feed us FFS.
You mean like the removal of the concept of baseload power?
Without gas providing essential backup, renewables cannot keep the lights on. They can’t cope now. with coal shutting down, they can’t fill the void. With govts snubbing gas we need to get used to blackouts while paying thru the nose for what intermittent electricity we do get.
🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬
No mention of the guaranteed roi for transmission and distribution companies. Privatised to China Wasn't nsw complaining about a gold plated network recently
Will there be enough caves for everyone to live in while they are banging rocks together to make a living?
we need price control for local gas and shut off Bass pipeline to Gladstone for export
When the sun isn't shining and wind is not blowing, renewables are as useless as tits on a bull.
ABC analysis: We need to add more renewables to strengthen supply and bring down prices. 🤡🌏
If countries change to 100% EVs, electrical grids will be unable to cope because 70% of all electricity will be used to charge cars.
Yeah, lack of reliable energy ABC.. We're not all dumb.🙄
Stop spewing this crap 💩 on us 🤦🏻♂️ DefundTheABC🤬
Start planning your escape to South America, climate cultists. Accountability will not be denied
