And you really think with these massive fluctuations in supply that renewables are practical?

If you are going to give your usual evasive or smartarse answer don’t bother unless you can back it up with data.

There is a prescription potion now available in Victoria that you should consider! I will help round up the two Doctors you need to put you out of your misery.

Lol.

No response?!!
Well, I never.

Where have you pulled this data from?

Instantaneous load of what?

Right out of his ancient clacker !

Unlike you I don’t believe whatever some turd with an agenda tells me.

Do you own research, I would like to see the results.

Go to the website to see the headings, if you are capable of understanding pure data.

Solar 0Mw
Total wind and solar 1.56% of demand.

Go ahead and check, I dare you.

And just to help Bacchusfox out there are even some graphs which he will assure me are wrong.

…

As I expected all you have is your usual evasive or smartarse answer

You are all BS with no capacity for rational thought or counter argument.

WHERE IS YOUR FARKING DATA?

Did your ancestors come down on the Golgafrinchan Ark B?

So funny.

God. Is this still going on? Stop feeding the pigeon pellets. He’s going to explode.

It’s hilarious, it’s almost a little jarring how dim that man is.

I keep asking myself, is he serious? He can’t be but he’s stayed on message so long.

And backing it up with data.

Look above for the NemWatch website.

Without coal you would be sitting in the dark scratching you ■■■■ wondering why your lights are out, your smartphone doesn’t charge and the beer in the refrigerator is getting warm.

And yet not one answer from you dimwits as to where the power is going to come from.

By the way, you did see with abject grovelling the NSW Liberal and Labor Parties in a desperate effort to stave off disaster have convinced AGL to delay the closing of Liddell and Vales Point power stations to way past their scheduled shutdown dates.

Here’s an answer - eat more peanuts. Wind power.

Hmm, you do not seem to understand, so I will resort to being blunt.

Go away and die, either figuratively or literally, your choice.

You do not take climate change seriously and obviously really have no understanding of Hitchhikers. No go away while I take my bath.

Most of my power comes from my solar panels. And soon, hopefully, the rest will come from a battery. My reliance on coal will be very minimal, if at all.
The day is coming when coal generated power is the supplementary supply, not the main supply, reversing the current (no pun intended) arrangement.
A little further down the track there will be no need for coal at all.
Except in museums where today’s younger generation will tell their kids…sigh, I remember when…

We did plastic free July - my gosh it wakes you up to how many things have plastic in them.

Our council down here is creating some change, and business are looking at making switches from plastic to non plastic products.

The only way to get people to take notice on pollution - climate change - is to put $$ into it. like Labor did with the Carbon Tax - thats what makes big business take notice.
They also need to reevaluate how water is being used as a commodity for people to buy sell, as people just hold it to make $$$ and drive the price up

Plant more trees.
Reduce street lighting (waste electricity)
Add more greenery to our environment

E.g Green roofs on bus shelters to provide plants for Bees etc

Proof positive you have no answers.

Again no cogent reply, just insults.

Did you actually look at the Nemwatch website and do a basic calculation of the shortfall.

Of course not, data doesn’t matter to warmunists only the certain knowledge that they are right.

Of 113 climate models used by the UN all of them are wrong.
Every time the faults are pointed out the excuses flow, we didn’t take into account new factors, when that doesn’t work they change the parameters used in the models, then they change the past temperatures to make them fit the new models, next step, change the way temperature stations record the temperature, use non-compliant stations for “record” temperatures and it just goes on and on.

It is a gravy train that those sucking money out of the taxpayers pockets.

No doubt they have some unemployable with an Arts Degree already lined up.

50 years ago universities used to ask their students to examine the evidence and come to a conclusion, now they teach you to search for evidence no matter how tenuous to back up your preconceived ideas and to avoid empirical data, insult your adversary or have them silenced.

Hard to believe 113 / 113 climate models are wrong.

Having bees swarming on bus shelters isnt the brightest idea in my book. I can just see all the lawsuits from people getting stung, especially by the ones who can’t tolerate a sting.

Gotta love sorf’s logic. There isn’t enough renewable generation capacity so we should stop building renewable generators.
