    Rolling blackouts, NSW & ACT

    But don't worry NSW, Qld has your back.

    NSW, ACT faces rolling power blackouts as system fails to cope
    I’m pretty sure the dinosaurs died out when they stopped gathering food and started having meetings to discuss gathering food

    A bookshop is one of the only pieces of evidence we have that people are still thinking

    Bad idea to shut power off to a smelter. If the pot line cools and hardens, it will cost millions and take months to get it back on line. When the powers failed at Portland one of the lines went down and they still hasn't got it back on yet and it almost forced the company to the wall.

    Could cost a lot of jobs short or long term so people can keep their ****y cheap AC's running.
    If you need to contact me please email homestarrunnerau@gmail.com - thanks - Gav.

    Hopefully the NSW Government will make those smelters high priority for power. Along with hospitals, and aged homes.

    This is serious. No travelling at all in high risk areas. The Aluminium smelter has power cut first.

    Fire risk in NSW 'as bad as it gets'
