pretty hard core trouble is with heat comes rain and lightening and SA has been blacking out very regularly lately..again hard core.. statewide even.. hard core to say the least.

SA Power cannot handle it...the network is sadly pathetic and seems no end in sight at this stage. :-[

hilarious  sorry agnes...but this is what you can expect from now on...treat it as the New Norm...

trouble is you have been spoilt with all that oldfashioned coalfired stuff... look at it this way.....this is the NEW S.A.

Power networks are not to blame for extreme weather conditions, blame climate change and the extremities it brings. SA is in the front line, exposed to the southern ocean, not far from the Antarctica and surrounded by desert, 40 plus every where here today and more tomorrow, look out!

The wind farms simply can't handle it.

Windy farms are a good idea but they should build nuclear power plants to provide the power to build unlimited windy mills and solar panels and then decommission  the nuclear power plants and send the waste to the edge of the universe.

in the mean time AGNES suck it up!

get used to it gal.. and dont bake too many cakes..

.oh I do hope you werent baking souffle

thanks cods nice to know you feel my woes  ;D ;D ;D ;D

I read so little news , as can re evidenced by some of my silly replies sometimes...that I didnt even know that we had shifted away from coal until 3 days ago.. mainly wind now..excited for that but this is just bloody ridiculous...and we pay the HIGHEST rates in the land.

They need to guarantee us a regular reliable supply or I am moving interstate.. 8-)

no souffles..but baking hot in our skins..our a/c  goes of course and then you try to get by with cold showers etc..listen to you lot gloating at the crow eaters  :(

The network in SA is pathetic because it was privatised 15 years (or whatever it was) and the owner of the network cuts corners everywhere.

I have called for nuclear power, can find a safe spot in SA easy enough. However that is not because renewables can’t cut it. Investment is needed to tie the various wind farms etc into an efficient grid.

Unfortunately the Greens, who clearly don’t really care about AGW would try and stop sensible low emission energy being developed.

Today I faced, the burning waste,
Without the taste,
Of Water...

Cool, clear water.....

We seem to have gotten past the hot humid days and are now enjoying lovely cool breezes - talk about a different climate... I feel like I'm in Queenslund, you mark my words, where they do things differently.... might ahve to go back to the snow country.

I told my doctor when he said he was retiring to Queensland that he'd be back... Who The Shaitan would want to retire to Queensland?

I think I'll sell up and head for Tassie.... or Dunedin in Nuh Zuland... funny thing - in Dunedin they have the same accent as my grandmother - from NSW New England and born in (wait for it) 1884 -had.  Very Scots/Irish.

1884?  Wow - that was a LONG time ago for this country.... she definitely lived in interesting times... we're slow breeders in my family...

I'll swap you Miss Agnes - I may see a bit of ice and snow where I am this weekend.

I know I know.. have been here  so many years I have forgotten but I never got used to the heat....now of course I can just sit and do as little as possible..I sit on this thingy..lol...but its been hot this year not as hot as SA thankfully...I would die I really would...

so I do sympathise with you all.. its so hard to get away from isnt it?....the heat I mean not people on here.. ;) ;)

  Yes it is hard to escape heat..give me snow any day... you can add layers if its very cold..but you cannot do anything with heat, you are stuck.

Forecast only 35 today...and then cool again. SSSummer BAH- hate it   >:( >:( >:( >:(

Victoria has had black outs too recently. One of them a couple of months ago resulted in thousands of homes being without power for 3 days.

This doesn't get reported in the conservative media because Victoria uses coal fired power stations,

The average max temperatures for Rockhampton during the December month was 35 degrees. It varied little over the month. Night time temperatures were not tolerable for sleep, irrespective of how high you had your ceiling fans. I don't know how I managed to get through my childhood without having the fans or the airconditioning we have today. I must have not known how good things would get as an adult.

Tough it out, South Australia. You are too conditioned to the cold weather to know how to handle the heat.

(humming chorus in background)...... today..... yesterday's news became fish wrapping...... today... was the day before tomorrow and the day after yesterday....... but we all move on...... after all.. we always knew that time was malleable......... take for instance how time slows when you are in a boring job........ how it speeds up when you are in good company ....... how a minute under fire is an Eternity ..... how waiting for the ambulance is always longer than the movement of the hands on the clock suggests ... oh, yes.. we all know Father Time.... and his devious ways...... oops - time for another beer.....(humming chorus fades) ....

We know about the heat Rocky..we have temps of like 40+ as a matter of course in summer.. and one summer here we had temps of 50 ish for 11 days straight- but that was years ago and that high was not so typical, but 45+ is..old people dropping dead in that heat which also included Adelaide.. so yes we know about heat and we are in no way soft..but the erratic power supply drives me crazy ..I dont want to put up with crap anymore.. and we shouldn't have too..lets hope they have their act together next summer..too late for this one..

Sure. You had 50ish temps some time ago for 11 days straight. But I would agree with you about power outages making it difficult for the elderly. Solution being to use solar panels on housing, so that there are no brownouts or black outs. In the last 10 years of noticing people using solar power, I have not seen a black out related to overconsumption of power usage. It has been a real saviour for times when the heat gets above 35 for weeks on end. Perhaps because the bulk of SA's population is in Adelaide, you don't have so much in reliable power supply.

  I think for myself for now..will have to organise some kind of back up supply..because I dont see this being solved in the near future..blackouts here have lasted 2- 3 days each time ( whereas previously 1-4 hours tops)..and usually so hot its not bearable..and I agree with you those in regional areas always bear the brunt of poor services..wether it be power/doctors/specialists etc.. same old story always.

People are worried about the electricity supply with the hot weather up here. Today, we had around 40-degree temperatures and incoming thunderstorm that gave us no more than 4mm of light rain. Right now, I'm typing on my computer with the air conditioning blaring its 30-year-old motor. I'm not looking forward to my next power bill.

The amount of solar panels on roofs in town should have compensated for any need to worry about brownouts. If I could have solar panels installed on my roof for free, I would run the air conditioning non-stop. Even with windows open.

None of these storms are even remotely unprecedented. We have had worse, far worse before. We have just now got a power system that isnt handling these things as well as they should because we close down coal and gas fired plants and then have to import power from interstate from... coal and gas-fired plants.

Right.

Do you even know where your nearest coal power station is, and what it looks like sitting there behind a few bushes?

The windy mill farms have popped up everywhere in SA, I was standing underneath one the other day at the Ardrossan  wind farm and an absolutely awesome thing to experience, their is a viewing area there, a tribute to white mans ingenuity and saving mega tons of fossil being burnt which cant be good for the global village.

Until the wind stopped blowing as it did recently and much of the state had another power failure because victoria could give us enough.

The problem is the ideological approach rather than the pragmatic one. the SA govt has subsidised wind and solar and penalized coal and gas who ended up closing and so now when wind fails, we have nothing.

No they are not..but then we travel very long distances from where I am and it might seem close..but they are about an hour out. I live out here I should know. The windy mill farms have popped up everywhere in SA, I was standing underneath one the other day at the Ardrossan  wind farm and an absolutely awesome thing to experience, their is a viewing area there, a tribute to white mans ingenuity and saving mega tons of fossil being burnt which cant be good for the global village. The wind farm mills are beautiful..and I am proud that SA is at least getting that right.. I love driving past them, quite something to behold. Until the wind stopped blowing as it did recently and much of the state had another power failure because victoria could give us enough. The problem is the ideological approach rather than the pragmatic one. the SA govt has subsidised wind and solar and penalized coal and gas who ended up closing and so now when wind fails, we have nothing. Refresh my memory, which time was it the wind stopped blowing and much of the state had a power failure.

Great point Jeez ..
