Thread: Climate Change and our Land of Fire, Flood and Drought.

Pity that. You'd better ask Ian whether it is ok to put them into print?

I think the answer will be a resounding NO!

Cancel that. I just broadened my horizons thanks to google.

Well the Greens and Labour party should be very pleased with themselves.


During an Energy statement made today, it was announced that it is highly unlikely that Victoria will be able to supply enough electricity during the peak summer demand times to be able to power household air conditioners and maintain industrial requirements.


They are saying there is every likelyhood of ongoing Brownouts. Blackouts by another name.


So much for renewable power supplies!

That would be hypocritical of him. I am sure he has sung the ditty in a few truckie low class drinking dens.

Brownouts are far more serious than blackouts. A blackout is zero voltage, causing electrical devices to shut down. A brownout is partial voltage, that can cause catastrophic failure to motors and electronic equipment.

That's okay, they'll just import it from other states. It's an interconnected grid. No state can stand alone. Maybe renewable SA will help out Victoria. Tasmania is making lots of hydro. Even Queensland regularly sends power down to help out the southerners. We're nice, like that, up here.
