Are those selling this climate snake oil listening (reading in this case)?
To call Australia’s wind power output “pathetic” is to flatter it. Turbines with a total capacity of 10,277 MW are spread from Far North Queensland, across New South Wales, Victoria, Tasmania and South Australia – and all connected to the Eastern Grid.
On rare occasions, the combined output reaches around 60% of their total notional capacity, and then, only briefly.
On plenty of occasions, the output barely rises above 6%. And 5,000 to 6,000 MW collapses occur with banal regularity.
For example, on 4 May 2023, combined output reached 6,341 MW, before plummeting 5,901 MW to a piddling 440 MW.
When a single 500 MW generating unit at a coal-fired power plant breaks down, the renewables cult and MSM hacks rant and rave about the ‘unreliability of coal’.
But the same clowns switch to a practiced form of deliberate ignorance, when they omit to mention wind power output collapses 10…
