29 November

The NSW grid nearly went down this week, and as the article says, the conditions were relatively moderate. We’re not even in summer yet. The reason? Nearly half of our coal plants were offline, being repaired. They’re falling apart. Only renewables kept the lights on. If you’re one of those hysterical community groups opposing every attempt to modernise the NSW grid, go and buy some fucking candles. You might need them this summer. This is the reason we invested in solar and a battery, to have energy security at home, insulated from the mass hysterical stupidity and useless NSW Government, sucking the dicks of coal and gas companies rather than looking after our kids’ futures.
