Locals left to sweat it out as blackout hits two central Victorian townsA power blackout leaves two towns in central Victoria without air-conditioning, refrigeration or even a public swimming pool. They can rely on the solar we’ve heard so much about... That happens when you replace aging coal stations with unreliables like wind and solar. What we needed was a new reliable, cheap HELE power station. And also to cut the interconnector so leftie states are forced to face up to the consequences of their stupidity.

Victoria on blackout watch as temperatures soarVictorian businesses may have to power down as the state faces a heatwave and some of its largest power stations break down. Bureau of Meteorology: 'A heatwave is now defined by three or more days of unusually high maximum and minimum temperatures in any area'. Two days do not a heatwave make. Unless, of course, you're trying to talk up the Global Warming narrative which, of course, is the case here. Great pay a premium for power and get none when it matters!!! Reliable coal strikes again...

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.

Power regulators take action to limit risk of blackouts in Victoria and SAThe Australian Energy Market Operator forecasts a potential supply shortfall for Victoria and South Australia as scorching temperatures place extra strain on the system. If we had a Carbon tax on the rich, to distribute to the poor, none of this would be necessary. mjrowland68 LisaMillar At 7 am, Victoria brown coal still running at 500 MW less than earlier in the month. Good Luck. The action government can take is to reduce immigration to stop power demand growth because this problem will just get worse with auspol

We buy bottled water up in north Brisbane our water is the same. We don't even give our pets tap water. The Water Minister should go there and drink a litre to prove it's safe 🙂 The Darling river water?
