I think it's inevitable that Victoria will close down the mudburners in the Latrobe and increases reliance on low emissions. I wonder if S.A has factored in availability of base load with their reliance on interconnects.
Surely it's immoral to spruik low emission whilst paying someone to generate high emission power
Its supposed to be a nationally interconnected grid with each state contributing what it can from its local advantages.

Victoria's advantage is reliable brown coal thermal power.Quote:

Queensland's advantage is the amount of power generated using coal seam gas, to underpin the viability of the CSG industry.

Ah, yes. Gas is not a renewable. It is a thermal unit that produces green house gases.
CSG is also damaging to the aquifers. Just ask the cow cockeys and greenies. The ones that were around when I was working on Queensland CSG projects.
As said before, gas power stations are stable thermal power generation systems. They supply constant stable energy, like coal.
Yep. A few thorium reactors dotted about the country in stable areas would be good. They could put one at Point Henry on the old smelter site. A lot of the infrastructure is already there. They just back feed it into the grid.Quote:

I guess they didn't have 23 large towers fall over.
The large towers that fell over were north of the state.Quote:
