chriskkenny It was coal that let down the grid. coal is finite Chris. What happens after coal? Australians want clean renewables.
chriskkenny Chris your Getup Green activist Moronic Morans followers love and follow you like a blue cattle dogs mate, keep throwing them FACTS and watch them retrieve them with uneducated responses, well done sir
chriskkenny Don’t forget liberals sold everything for quick cash
vjboodie chriskkenny Funny thing about get hot some days. It happens most years, people turn on their air cons, and the hotter it gets more power is not rocket science and it's not a once only event. So they knock out base power. System failure.
vjboodie chriskkenny There's no mystery, both states have had the benifit of idiot premiers , who have destroyed coal fired power and both states are dependant on renewables which only produce about 15% of the power required.
chriskkenny Large power bills? An extra what, 10c a day during the heatwave? Most overjoyed problem in the world, tour obsession with energy prices. Costs me about $2 a day, max. My coffee costs me 5...

chriskkenny No passion Chris, unsuitable material for PM !
chriskkenny 1.1 billion dollars in 1 weekend by sth aus and victoria. Guess Whose paying for this cheap renewables?
chriskkenny Meanwhile in Menindee millions of fish are dying. But upstream in a drought Adani will get millions of mega litres of water while the rivers dry up and nearby stock die... All for Chris Kenny's coal. That we sell cheap overseas and hand out tax breaks to OS companies for.
chriskkenny Morrison/Libs get a gift horse in a platter and have no idea how to use it!who the FARK advises em ,if it was me.Howmany Coal stations,Heavy manufacturing plants will close under 50% RE,last 5 summers SA wind ran at 9% of capacity!battery storage large scale no good! Just Do It
chriskkenny And then do what, Kenny? WHAT? Sheer stupidity on a constant level.
chriskkenny Coal-fired power generation fails the network, but we’ll blame renewables anyway
chriskkenny You’ve done absolutely zero investigation. What a dud you are
chriskkenny The biggest issue faced by AEMO was the absence of a large share of the state’s coal capacity. 1/4 of such went missing due to maintenance/breakdowns. Renewables, which traditionally provide around 20% of the state’s capacity, provided around 36% when load shedding imposed.
chriskkenny You should know about hedging and the price cap of a maximum of $216900 per seven days for each retailer, plus the $300 caps on each retailer in Vic and NSW. There was nothing like $1billion exchanged between buyers and sellers in the wholesale market. Scaremongering?
chriskkenny It was coal stations that broke down today. Had there been more renewable capacity the coal sourced electricity could have been replaced. We’re not as stupid as C Kenny thinks! Why are there no new coal stations being built? Investors are wise. auspol
chriskkenny the public have bought the global warming hoax they want 50% wind turbines, let them have it, it will bring the country to it's knees within 8 years
chriskkenny Bwahahaha
chriskkenny What ever you say does not change the fact that NLP have blown the cost of power out , it happen when the carbon price was taken away. Power skyrocketed, but you can't talk about that becauce you help them remove it. DUMB DECISION THAT.
chriskkenny *if new coal fired power plants and all their emissions are pursued.
chriskkenny lol. It was coal that failed Chris.

Dated coal and gas infrastructure to blame for Vic blackouts: Energy Minister | Sky News AustraliaPower is being turned back on in Victoria after the Australian Energy Market Operator directed companies to cut electricity for up to 200,000 people at a time.\n\nState Energy Minister Lily D'Ambrosio has blamed dating coal and gas infrastructure for most of the power grid failure while praising the generation from renewables. \n\nThe operator originally said it would affect just 30,000 people at a time before quickly jumping to 60,000 and 100,000. \n\nA swift drop in temperature in the late afternoon has helped the grid recover from the stress. \n\nImage: News Corp Australia \n\n springst Victoria supposedly has the world's best electricity distribution network. But it seems Australians have made the decision to let the infrastructure become 'dated'. Why? Australians are used to hot weather in the summer? And we're supposedly a first world nation? Or she couldve blamed the UN for making us shut down coal stations but allowing India to build more and making us a third world nation How can that be possible ? Renewables were delivering only 30% of their capacity Coal was crank up to meet renewables shortfall ! How does this fool justify the price of renewables going from $100 to $14,500 per Mw

Jayme Closs will receive $US25,000 in reward money after kidnapped teen freed herselfHormel Foods, a Fortune 500 company based in Minnesota, put up the money last October, doubling the reward promised by the FBI after 13-year-old Jayme Closs disappeared on October 15. Something really off about this case. I think this was more of a Bonnie and Clyde not a kidnap

Victoria heatwave sparks energy concerns | Sky News AustraliaAn extreme heatwave across Victoria has sparked concerns for the states power supply, with two of the biggest plants at 'low capacity'.\n\nThe Australian Energy Market Operator (AEMO) says Victorian households could potentially suffer blackouts in the extreme temperatures which are putting the systems under stress to keep up with demand.\n\nThe peak of the heat is forecast to hit on Friday, with temperatures expected to sit in the early 40s.\n\nImage: News Corp Australia\n\n\n\n\n Maybe you should also mention that those two power plants are powered by the thing that the LNP gets a boner over...... coal......... what the hell is going on! LilyDAmbrosioMP ScottMorrisonMP JacintaAllanMP JoshFrydenberg OneNationAus Why do Victorians & Australians have to put up with 3rd world power infrastructure & the highest energy prices. A royal commission is needed, labor or liberal get on it!.

Energy operator calling on business to cut power to avoid blackoutsThe energy market operator has asked big businesses to power down on Thursday to help Victoria and South Australia avoid potential blackouts. Hope this is not an Ergon Copycat. Turned off electricity supply pretending shortages to demand more Grants from states. Should investigate further. Royal commission.

Energy operator calling on business to cut power to avoid blackoutsThe energy market operator will ask big businesses to power down to help Victoria and South Australia avoid potential blackouts. Wouldnt happen with Nuclear. We are missing out. In South Australia even the diesel generators are working hard. No sign of the big battery. Why isn't it working? Windmills and solar not doing much. LilyDAmbrosioMP All the while you and your Government tweet out new wind farms in the never never....that will produce only more expensive and unreliable power while your policies today could force the few businesses left in Victoria to close. Audacious.

Warnings not possible before Victoria's power outage: energy operatorChandra Ojha would have liked a warning 30 minutes before the power was cut to his Ormond home - he could have moved his family out and his daughter may not have got heatstroke. I love these fake photos. It is always the water coolers steam against the red evening sky to make it look like a doomsday. Only scam needs such fake photos. Stop whinging 'services were restored to most of these households within a few hours' it happens once maybe twice a year... Remember the SEC? Used to fail several times a summer...remember when we lost Gas for 2 weeks in winter? Build up some resilience people and stop complaining !!

'Highly unfortunate': Energy chief says system caught by surpriseIndustry says the energy market operator leans too heavy on big business to save the system as a lack of energy policy makes Australia 'a third world country'. Caught by surprise...........LOL. I am looking smarter every day with replies like that. What a base-load of bull!!! Everyone knew the forecast. Get a system that cope with the summer temperature plus 25%. Sick of excuses. Embarrassed to be an Australian 🇦🇺 these are 3rd world conditions. Time we invested in the infrastructure to meet the demands of a growing population.

Blackouts for 130,000 homes as power system faltersThe energy market operator is cutting power for some Melburnians in an effort to avoid a larger, state-wide blackout. Which LilyDAmbrosioMP said wouldn't happen, the wind towers were meant to save us, but 100,000 are without power..springst what a disgrace blackouts would be good It is going to be a show piece of Libs incompetence A decade of energy paralysis is coming home to roost They r still brawling RET NEG were dumped because of infighting

Waste-to-energy has 'big potential', but caution urgedThe development of waste-to-energy plants in Australia is underway and, while the potential is strong, there are some economic and environmental hurdles to jump first. Excellent - it's about time we stopped sending valuable combustible waste to landfill. Spot on - burning this waste to power an energy plant will reduce our carbon emissions ten-fold. We need more ideas like this. Strange that proponents have limited awareness of options to boost efficiency of waste-to-energy plants. Waste-to-gas allows use of 60% efficient power plants. Burning waste gets you to 30% if lucky. Hence Bill Grant compares CO2 emissions with coal plants DominicCansdale
