The ACT is powered by 100% renewable energy, dear.

So what you are saying is that the ACT is NOT connected to the east coast grid. Roll Eyes

"The National Electricity Market (NEM) is comprised of five physically connected regions on the east coast of Australia:

Queensland
New South Wales (which includes the ACT)
Victoria
Tasmania
South Australia"

https://www.aemc.gov.au/energy-system/electricity/electricity-system/NEM

"Electricity prices in the Canberra, ACT have been volatile, with costs rising in recent years despite strong renewable generation."

https://www.solarchoice.net.au/energy/electricity-rebates/act/

Nothing there about 100% renewables.

"Some electricity accounting methodologies, such as the market-based method used by Climate Active, recognise the proportion of the ACT Government's commitment that has been matched with the ACT Government’s surrender of renewable energy certificates. This is termed the Jurisdictional Renewable Power Percentage (JRPP) and in 2024 this was 79.51%. The JRPP for 2025 has yet not been released."

https://www.greenpower.gov.au/get-greenpower/buying-greenpower-australian-capita...

Nor there.

"When you add a Greenchoice fee to your electricity bill, you contribute to the purchase of renewable electricity from government-accredited sources, including wind power, biomass, hydro and solar."

https://www.actewagl.com.au/sustainability/greenchoice

Nor there.

So perhaps you can tell us how they switch off the fossil fuelled part of the grid. Just too dumb to do your own research. Roll Eyes

Why my poor dear fellow, I've shown you already!

Just think, you could have spent your time doing something productive - learning a new language, playing a musical instrument, going out and starting a business.

But no, the chodes never learn.

Pretty simple even for a Patpong Bar Boy poker like you.

The ACT Govt buys green/renewable energy credits & tells the story(porky) they are powered by 100% renewable energy .....

which cannot be feasibly true whilst they remain connected to the National Grid.

Tell me how they get that renewable energy that is generated all over the country to the ACT for consumer consumption?

By B-Double road tankers? Grin

You should shut your purse Melania, pack up & piss off if you believe that nonsense about the ACT being powered by 100% renewable energy.

Oh, dear.

Just like toilet paper 6 years ago - if you tell people not to hoard something and there's no need to worry then what will they go straight out and do?

Yep, you guessed it.

Driver accused of 'ridiculous' act at Aussie petrol station amid dire supply warning

Quote:

Australian drivers have been accused of succumbing to petrol station panic as fuel prices rise amid fears about global oil supplies during the ongoing Middle East conflict.

The cost of crude oil has surpassed $100 per barrel for the first time in more than three years, due to the closure of the Strait of Hormuz, a critical chokepoint for global energy supplies, in the Middle East.

Now, Aussies are sounding the alarm as regional petrol stations begin to run dry across the country.

In one clip, a ute is seen pulling out of a petrol station, accused of filling plastic tanks with hundreds of litres of fuel.

It's understood the video was filmed at Riverstone Petroleum in Sydney's west.

While some said they were "jealous" of the driver's huge stockpile of fuel, others accused the driver of exacerbating Australia's looming petrol shortage.

"[People] are being ridiculous! Everyone needs to chill. Am I the only one not panic-buying?" asked one Aussie.

Others suggested the driver may be a farmer, and this sort of purchase is common.

On top of the sheer stupidity and greed on display (just like toilet paper as I mentoned) there's also the safety issue here. I'm expecting to see more and more reports of house fires and explosions in the coming weeks and months with all this petrol being hoarded around the country.

Idiots.

Those white containers are certainly not made for the storage of fuels.

He should have been challenged at the service station & sent packing.

If you can't peruse a simple link, dear, there's no hope for you.

This year, Australia's largest solar farm will be powered by Australia's largest battery.

Boo hoo, no?

I predict shocking fires inside home garages from people
using incorrect petrol storage containers.

Wrong containers release petrol fumes that can be ignited
by unintentional sparks from static electricity
or even metal striking concrete etc.

Totally different. The response to the oil shocks was carparks full of Datsuns and VW Beetles.

The response to this one will be Chinese EVs and more solar farms.

The age of fossil fuels is done, as every Saudi schoolboy knows.

Petrol pumps are being switched off in several parts of the country.

Fuel deliveries are also being cut off to independent distributors.

Industry insider Danny Kreutzer says “I’ve never seen as bad as what it is.”

Farmers are also speaking out saying that they are struggling to obtain fuel & are warning that their lack of access to fuel is putting Australia's food supply at risk.

“ US-Iran war ‘petrol lockdown’ could send prices to $10 per litre

An expert claims we’re drastically underestimating what could be about to happen as the risk surrounding petrol supplies “increases exponential“

When is Albo going to ramp up refinery capacity in Australia and can Angus Taylor explain how can we can access out 90 days emergency supplies he organised too have stored in America?

Great work Angus. Well done!
