Now now Philly don't get snarly just because you have been caught out not being very well informed of your subject.

Now here's a bloke who really knows what he is talking about.

Time to Drain the Energy Swamp
VIV FORBES Sat 21 Jul 2018 08:29:20 am/1238 COMMENTS


Gurgle burp!!!!

The Australian electricity market has become a stinking swamp covered with a tangled net of treaties, laws, rules, obligations, prohibitions, targets, taxes and subsidies. The swamp conceals the rubble of demolished coal generators; another plant destined for destruction (Liddell) is gradually sinking in the green ooze.

The swamp is slowly claiming paddocks of subsidised solar panels that, at best, only work for six hours per sunny day. The scene is uglified by spec-built regiments of ailing wind turbines that are often idle, but sometimes whirling madly.

To distract the gullible media from this mess, big diesel generators charge a gigantic battery which pumps water uphill and then lets it run down again. A garbage dump of dead lithium batteries fills a nearby gully and the swamp is fenced by locked green gates.


The stagnant water is stirred on sunny days by luxury launches carrying academics-with-models, green media evangelists, climate alarmists, emissions inspectors and power regulators. Speculative sharks constantly patrol the swamp snapping up every smelly subsidy morsel scattered by politicians in posh yachts fishing for votes.

Helicopters full of unelected UN officials hover overhead, creating choppy waves of uncertainty. A pleasant hill overlooking the swamp houses the air-conditioned offices of the power regulators. They have no windows to the world and few power engineers; they stare at screens, run models and press buttons.



                  
The way out of the energy swamp is to retrace the way we got in.
First, get to the root of the problem – UN Climate Alarmism. Disown the Paris and Kyoto Treaties and dump all the obligations, costs, hobbles and distortions they have created. Stop their pointless war on carbon energy. Carbon dioxide does not control climate but it does support all life on earth.

Abolish green energy targets and renewable energy certificates – they belong in museums beside the WW2 ration cards.

Then de-fund and boycott the rotten core of climate alarmism - the UNIPCC. Shun their never-ending climate conferences and cease funding all of their green tentacles. Cancel the tax exempt status of political activists posing as honest scientists.

Then unravel the electricity regulations mess. Stop politicians from banning or promoting their energy favourites – speculators should be free to build wind, solar, geothermal, wave, coal, gas, nuclear or pig-poo power generators free of all special taxes, subsidies and market mandates. But no electricity distributor, retailer or consumer should be forced to accept unreliable or expensive electricity.

Then abolish all guaranteed returns on inflated capital for those who gold-plate power lines and poles, or expect big returns on under-used connections to remote wind farms or other green energy toys. Consumers should not be saddled with these hidden green taxes.

All electricity producers and retailers should face competitive market prices, get no special subsidies and obey the same tax laws. But they should be encouraged to enter into long term contracts to supply base-load or peak power at agreed prices. Such contracts could underpin construction of new reliable generation capacity.

                                    


Politicians should stop backing losers
De-centralise decision making. Test energy theories properly by letting green states go deep green on intermittent energy, while others place their bets on long-term contracts from new HELE (High Energy Low Emissions) running on solid reliable black “fossil sunshine”. Allow isolated communities to try sealed transportable nuclear power packs.

The choice for our crippled electricity industry is stark – swift surgical reform and practical innovation; or let the lights go out as our once-cheap-and-reliable grid drowns in the smelly regulatory swamp.

Grappler, you are taking all the fun out of another Labor scandal.


A further thought on Philly getting so upset.
Why do Globally Warmed Lefties get so paranoid whenever Sth Aust's power disaster is mentioned ?

Surely SA is the canary in the coal mine insofar as renewable rubbish is concerned as SA has gone down the road to ruin with useless renewable rubbish and has come a cropper.

SA would have to install enough diesel and gas generators to equal the Vic coal fields which keeps SA afloat to properly guard against a lengthy loss of the umbilical cord to the Vic coal fields.

Labor feminazi even forced staff to walk her dog!!!!

Brutality is big in the brutal union thugs controlled Labor Party.




Labor MP defends colleague over child care

Federal Labor MP Emma Husar using staff to mind her kids is a small price to pay for boosting female representation in parliament, colleague Mike Kelly says.



Ms Husar, who won the western Sydney seat of Lindsay for Labor in 2016, is facing an internal investigation into allegations of workplace bullying and harassment of staff.

Aside from using staff for child care, she is also accused of using people employed by her office to walk and clean up after her dog.

But Mr Kelly said Ms Husar had been up front with people about the help she needs to do her job.

"You've got a hard-working young woman here, a single mother with three kids, having to juggle a very tough electorate in Lindsay with a lot of diverse issues and then of course do the commute to Canberra," he said.

Mr Kelly said it was better for the proceedings of parliament if children weren't brought into the chamber, if it could be helped.

‘Threatening messages’ force embattled Labor MP Emma Husar to take personal leave

Labor MP Emma Husar has announced she will take personal leave after revealing she had received threats of violence in the past few days.

The announcement comes as Ms Husar faces an internal investigation by the New South Wales Labor Party into allegations of workplace bullying and harassment of staff.

Ms Husar has been accused of using staff employed by her office to mind her children and clean up after her dog, with one staffer describing working for the MP as “hell”.

The western Sydney MP says she has received threatening messages including threats of violence that she has referred to federal police.

In a statement, Ms Husar said the past few days had been “incredibly difficult” for her and her family.

“I have written to the chief opposition whip to advise him that I will be taking personal leave, effective immediately,” her statement said.

“I’m a single mum and my first priority is the safety and wellbeing of my children.

“The best thing for me and my family right now is for us to be out of the spotlight so I can access support.

Ms Husar said her electorate office would continue to operate as normal.

‘A professional and respectful workplace’
Ms Husar said she was horrified to learn of the investigation into her conduct when the news broke last week.

The allegations were first revealed by news website Buzzfeed News, detailing accusations of harassment, intimidation and demanding staff to carry out personal duties, by Ms Husar.

Ms Husar has been a member of federal Parliament since 2016, and said no staff had ever raised issues with her before the investigation was launched in March.

“I love my job and I am incredibly passionate about representing the Lindsay community I have lived in my whole life. My community doesn’t get the airtime it deserves and I am working hard to change that,” Ms Husar said in a statement issued last week.

“The assertions that have been made do not reflect who I am or how my office operates.

“My office is a professional and respectful workplace. It should not be perceived in any other way and, of course, I am sorry if any person has been given reason to think otherwise.

“I am a single mum with three children, working hard and doing my best. If I have let anyone down, I apologise.”

Ms Husar last week received the support of senior federal Labor frontbencher Anthony Albanese who defended his colleague as a “terrific” hard-working single mum.

“What I know about Emma Husar is that she’s a single mum, works incredibly hard, represents her electorate very strongly,” he told the Nine Network on Friday.

“I find her a terrific person to deal with. I find her a very good local member of Parliament.”

A NSW Labor Party spokesman told the ABC that no public comment would be made until the “conclusion of the independent process”.
