Power prices, gas prices- ouch or Solar perhaps?

How about debating the subject matter?

FYI Zoe Hilton is not a climate scientist. She's got a science and arts degree. She's never worked in the field. She's been a policy adviser since she left uni in 2019. She aint no climate scientist.

Eloquently convincing people who don't know better is her career.

She's a mouthpiece.

What on earth are you talking about. Use your brain. Who cares who she is, do you think the newsreaders on the news investigate and know deeply the subjects they are talking about.

This defines a woke moron in my experience, attack the person that is saying something you don't agree with rather than sensibly discussing any topic.

Our entire system was built to have very large generators in one spot. From here the infrastructure is "giant high power cables" from the plant, slowly reducing in size as you get further and further away from the generator (this is common sense). So Lets say you live in Birchip Victoria. You might have one small power line running to the town. If we put in a huge solar and wind farm here ... We cannot feed anything back into the grid as the infrastructure is not designed for this (like I said, common sense... ).

What you are trying to argue is bluntly ... well moronic. Her overview as very good of the issues we are currently facing. Now a smart person (far smarter than me) would come up with way of getting around these issues. Building another giant sized power generator in the area the existing power generators are would be the smartest move. You cannot do this with renewables though as they take massive amounts of land. Just look at the insane wind farms within a couple of hours of drive from me. Just insane the infrastructure needs to get to all of them.

I'm not for or against any form of power generation, but gee's, can't there be just the tiniest bit of common sense applied ever

She's a mouthpiece.

Her career isn't based on telling the truth about these matters. Not like a real climate scientist. She's a policy advisor.

It's about persuading her audience about what her employers want her to say. She's an employee of the Centre for Independent Studies. There are several credited "researchers" for this piece.

Her employer, Centre for Independent Studies doesn't disclose who funds them. Strangely.

From AI

Previously Disclosed Donors: Past corporate funders have included companies like BHP Billiton, Shell, ICI, and the Vincent Fairfax Family Foundation. Individual donors have included Dame Elisabeth Murdoch, Neville Kennard, and Robert Champion de Crespigny.

If that piece resounds with you then I'm happy for you. I'll keep listening to the scientists about these matters myself.

Ethos, Pathos, Logos. I can't get past the Ethos here.
