Wind and solar energy ‘fails every single day’: Keith Pitt

Mr Pitt said people can’t “demonise” the coal and gas sector and then later rely on it in times of “great need”.

“You can’t demonise them … then ask them why it is they haven’t invested enough,” he told Sky News host Chris Smith. “Why it is they have so many units out? Why it is that there is potentially an unexpected breakdown when you’ve invested so much money in intermittent wind and solar that fails every single day?

BeattieNgiare Jay Weathrill showed the way years ago. LNP mocked SA and the big battery!

TimSmithMP Keith Pitt let this happen

It's money grubbing power companies holding consumers to ransom. Demanding more taxpayer monies to increase power generation. But don't expect truth or critical analysis,from Sky News. Care factor is nil, just politics. Even if home lifesaving equipment is effected.

Pitt would say that now wouldn't he. And who in their right mind pays attention to Sky?

The LNP caused the problem. The reason Australia voted these morons out. Exactly ‘Keith Pitt’it was always going to happen when you have a dysfunctional government for 9 years aided by a complaisant media.

but funny how only in opposition he can see this?

Pitt was one of the engineers who got us into this pickle because of his irresponsible policies and thinking. He needs to come into the 21st century

TimSmithMP He had 9 years to prepare for it and failed miserably

Well coal is obviously what is failing us right now. Just watch renewables take up the gap fast.

keithjpitt Keith ...The 'reality biting' at the moment is the LNP failed fix it when it had the opportunity? Its also a COAG thing.

Exactly. Why don't people understand that we cannot turn coal & gas off. We need coal, gas, renewables including nuclear. Our policitians need to stop avoiding the issues.

No mention of the 8 coal fired power stations offline for maintenance? More evidence that privatisation doesn’t work. Still hurting over the election result?

Sky, a Global hub for Climate Misinformation. newscorpse

Yet did nothing to mitigate it

He is so right.

Then why didn’t Nats do something about it over the last 10 years

Coal never fails...

It was always going to happen without an energy policy. A lost decade due to LNP ignorance and incompetence.

OH garbage Pitt... it is clear to all the coalition screwed up. L/NP voted out. Rather see 'Shy News' talk about why it's not talking about Trump. Everyone else is. American journalism's moment of truth: follow the Capitol riot story to the very end

Just shows the pure idiocy of privatising an essential service. We have lost the plot. And one tiny headwind and it all falls apart..
