Oh dear karmal is way out in his calculations.

75% renewable he says 


1. Total energy use in South Australia (all sectors)
When you count all energy, not just electricity:
Oil: 145.5 PJ
Natural gas: 92.5 PJ
Coal: 25.1 PJ
Renewables: 44.2 PJ
Total: ~311 PJ of energy. �
Energy & Mining
Share of total energy
Approximate percentages:
Energy source
Share
Oil (mostly transport fuels)
~47%
Natural gas
~30%
Coal
~8%
Renewables
~14%
So fossil fuels (oil + gas + coal) provide roughly:
≈ 85–86% of all energy used in South Australia.

Indeed.
They are lying AND they know it. From Bowels down to paki arse merchants.

After 20 years of “transitioning”, what percentage of Australia’s total energy demand do you reckon comes from fossil fuels and how much from wind, solar, hydropower and the egregiously named biofuels?

Primary energy is the best measure of how an economy actually runs because it counts all the fuels that power it, not just electricity generation. That matters because the things that keep the real economy moving, such as transport, mining and agriculture, run overwhelmingly on liquid fuels.

We do not have to guess at the numbers because they are reported by the government in Australian Energy Statistics under energy consumption.

“Fossil fuels (coal, oil and gas) accounted for 91 per cent of Australia’s primary energy mix in 2023-24,” the government website says. “Oil accounted for the largest share of Australia’s primary energy mix in 2023-24 at 41 per cent, followed by coal and gas both at 25 per cent. Renewable energy sources accounted for 9 per cent.”





But if you sniff arses and Bowels all your life you get a little a little woozey on the fumes, like the grimacing paki loon.




PRIMARY ENERGY. Dont forget it, Gretas.

Karnal should quit whilst he's behind


electricity price per kWh
Typical residential rates:
State
Average price
Queensland
~30–32 c/kWh
South Australia
~43–46 c/kWh
Sources comparing retail electricity plans show about 32.3 c/kWh in Queensland vs 43.6 c/kWh in South Australia. �
Canstar Blue
Another estimate gives:
Queensland: ~30.2 c/kWh
South Australia: ~45.5 c/kWh �
BLUETTI-AU
👉 That means SA electricity can be about 40–50% higher per unit of electricity.

What do the little question marks mean?

Perhaps we should consult with our learned colleague from the pwestigious.

Liar liar pants-on, is it?

Do you have a source?

For how long?

Your link goes to another link from the IEA. There it says -

"Our analysis for South Australia – where VRE share reached 75% shows that hourly prices were negative about 25% of the time in 2023, up from 19% in 2022. This highlights the need for additional system flexibility in the form of more price-reactive demand and supply, as well as additional storage."

So Variable Renewable Energy meant that hourly prices were negative, so that if it weren't for subsidies, they would go broke. And it is VARIABLE, that means you can't rely on it. Of course the renewables also turn off (don't put in a bid) when the price is too low, that way they can game the system and claim higher subsidies.

So to get to 100%. some say there needs to be a 5 times overbuild, so 5 time 120GWh is 600GWh. And renewables are nowhere near that.

So 100% renewable by next year. We await with bated breath when they turn off the interconnectors, the diesel generators et al.

Some say that, Lee.

You started saying renewable electricity doesn't exist in Australia, then you said it's not 75% in SA, then you said without subsidies and you can't rely on it and it'll never reach 100%, and on and on.

You've changed the goalposts so many times, you've forgotten what you came here to say in the first place.

And Aquascoot agrees with you.

The old boy's whittled his words down to one: bollocks.

He prefers Danish.

What's the bet he's got solar panels like you and Aquascoot?
