My HS physics textbook in 1969 listed CO2 in the atmosphere at 400 PPM. In 1979, our laboratory used room air to calibrate the GC for CO2 - the value was accepted at 400 PPM. I just googled the current level of CO2 in the atmosphere, and it listed it at 416 PPM. Do people really believe that an increase of 16 PPM of a molecule in our atmosphere is going to destroy the climate? The earth is not that fragile no matter what Bill Gates, Klaus Schwab, Prince Charles and George Soros (all great scientists) have to say.

Personally I think every person who was out protesting Climate change should be on top of the list for people who get their power cut off first...Put your beliefs where your standard of living is.

Isn’t it “convenient” when energy shortages appear in various countries for “unrelated” reasons… Along with food shortages and supply issues… yes im sure its just a big WEF coincidence….

So in short, "the green new deal" in Australia is a mess (which anyone with common sense could see) and it isn't working due to not having the infrastructure, or technologies, in place to make the shift? Sound about right? The same idiocy is being perpetraited in my own country of Norway, and we are 90% selfsufficient of the cleanest power on earth which is hydropower. BUT due to idiots in charge and new active electrical cables to other countries we the people south in our country are seeing 3 to 4 times rise in prices. The politicians are trying to excuse themselves where the majority of the profits goes straight into the state itself, where the people get 15% back in socalled "support money". I tell you what, if it was open season on politicians they all would be dead by tomorrow, that's how bad the situation is. This is certainly something most of us people have in common these days and we need accountability, NOW!!

Now retired but with 45 years of work experience in the USA energy industry (BA in Engineering and MBA in economics and finance), everything in this video is true and correct!

I disconnected my Car battery and replaced it with a Solar panel and the ignition light won't turn on and the starter motor won't crank the Engine over.🤦🏾‍♂️

Mad Max, The Road Warrior could end up the real thing in AUS. Be fun to watch.

When man attempts to be greater than God, they will learn harshly that they are NOT!!!

You mean for real that we can't get electric power from dreams, unicorns and climate fears?? 🤣

All part of the plan.

*NEVER GO FULL LEFTWAT!*

It's actually going to happen all across the world!

“Democratically elected” energy shortages.

Wow! I thought the US was leading this idiocy! Don't worry! We're not far behind!

When the people who own the power stations can restrict supply to increase prices we can put the Saudis to shame

I'll miss your talks when you go dark...here in Holland. Forget Co2 ! The more people spastically try to go green,the more the world is polluted. Going green is a slow and steady process !!!

The WEF is proud 👏

Love & Support here from your Freedom Loving brothers & sisters in America. Our whole world is facing energy, food & supply crises. To take away our current sources of energy all at once to replace it with a technology that is not even ready yet is putting all the little people in the world like us at risk just to be able to live & survive. God help our World 🌎 🙏

Entirely predictable outcome when you are intent on closing down viable electricity generation without an equally robust technology as a replacement. Where are the engineering analyses underpinning these decisions?

Where do they think they are going to get the electricity to power their cars especially on cloudy days if they use solar

Bowen doesn't need to talk to state ministers he needs to talk to suppliers

Yes. If we all had our 16th booster and two dinners we would be like you Paul. TOUGH and definatly not a sook.

Keep faith alive and keep praying God is for you Australia. God bless and protect you and your family's. Love you Australia.

Don't worry. Any politician will not be affected by this. Just the people. And I'm referring to every country. Politicians are not for the people. Look at it in a worldwide situation. It's not happening in only one country. The elites have a plan. And it's working quite well.

Yepp! Tell it like it is, Mr Joyce.

One wonders why the disastrous power failure in Texas last winter was not seen as a salutary warning.

You can't get rid of coal until you have its replacement in place, we talked about this when I was at school in the 1960s. The US hit peak oil in 1968 and Saudi Arabia in 2002 . We have had 50 years to sort this out ending in a panic. In Europe we have anilated the country which supplied 40%of our gas ,with a 5 year leed time for the new supply . The cold kills people in Europe.

You don't want coal/gas/oil to provide base load power? Fine! Option 1 Renewables backed up by an ENORMOUSLY expensive storage system. 1A batteries. The cost of batteries is NOT decreasing at anything like the rate required to see batteries as an economic solution within the next 25 years. 1B stored hydro in a land largely without reliable water AND without mountains, 1C inefficiently produced/expensive hydrogen, plus storage and a pipeline network. By the way, hydrogen is notoriously difficult to contain in a tank or a pipe. It leaks! A lot! Option 2 Nuclear. Hopefully Thorium/molten salt, or maybe modular plug-in units. It is time to seriously consider nuclear! Fear of nuclear power is essentially irrational. You cannot rely wholly on renewables for base load power. We need a phased transition plan from Fossil fuel to Nuclear to Renewables over 50 years to allow installed generating capacity to work to the end of its economic life. We will probably end up with Option 2 (and a bit of Option 1) for base load, and Option 1 and a bit of gas (thermal or turbines) for peak load. All I have seen is a wish list from various committed pressure groups, each with a utopian end goal in sight, but no rational, argued timeline to get there. Australia needs a NATIONAL PLAN! Only Canberra can do that.

Albanese's Australia get used to it

And HOW are everyone going to run electric cars? 😂🤣😂

let's reopen coal power stations, beg the most humane and friendly nations of Saudi, Venezuela and Iran for more Oil and Gas. Lets be honest, we all miss The Don

i feel for anyone who is at home with a medical condion that requires power to use thier medical equipment it happened in california a child died due to a blackout he couldn't use his oxygen michine

No coal or gas to cook my/everyones tea and dinner !! OK, then the trees are coming down. Windmills in my area of the UK have private company container diesel generators behind lovely fast growing trees. When the sails stop turning the generators fire up at 16 times the cost, into God knows whos bank account. Lets all hurry up !

Why not ask someone that is responsible for power generation. AEMEO. You would rather talk to someone that is coal prone. What a heap of B/S

i heard it was Mr. Putin and his price tags 😂

Yeah the civilians did it.

Sailing ships could not compete with steam, nor can renewables compete with coal and gas.

Hydroelectric is plentiful.

I'm hopeful that the special, midnight solar, will make the difference. We just need to invest a mere zillion or two and it can be ours.

Build nuclear power.

Oh yeah. Australia has become even more ridiculous!

Domestic reserve of gas, made available at close to cost - must be satisfied as an ongoing condition of permission to export.

we are turning away from coal too quickly as renewables can and will cope with the load then coal off when we have enough capacity in renewables till then get the coal powered repaired and running back at capacity when a renewable is fully available to replace a coal powered station the start shutting down coal power

View the whole electricidal system as one small printed circuit board that's solar powered, the battery in SA is just a small capacitor [power smoothing] across the input and not a storage of power to operate the PCB

Get the coal back on line . Ffs

People vote against their own interest.

what is the available reserve margin now in the Aussie states?

Stephen, you are full of it, not gas or coal. You should be held accountable for this, along with your supporters.

What about sustainable ENERGY that’s is FREE and everywhere ????? Is that hard to think about it ?

Since the french submarines story nothing from Australia surprise me, human stupidity ve no limits.

God help us with this clowns who the he'll vote them in

Just like in Canada.....here they're dreaming of electric cars, but have none for common consumption. Mostly on paper, well a screen, nothing physical action.....or super slowly Now we're paying double for gas in our fuelled cars.....I guess until we've paid for the development.....which most of us don't even really want. It's irresposible and untrustworthy and fickle....that electronic reliance....particularly with crazy climate events everywhere.....just wow, who is thinking here.....

Well, who voted them in???????????????????????????????*????????????????????????????????

Conroy is taking sense, Joyce is talking facts, talk is cheap.Fix it Albo!!!

All educated greedy fools.

How about digging a cylinder of mass? While you're digging, line the inside and outside of the ring with steel and concrete on both sides of that cylinder slot. Once you get deep enough for the amount of mass you are looking for, drill horizontal holes across the center at the bottom, feeding the cables through, back up, and connect to pullies on the other side. To keep the mass from tipping, connect all the pullies in a geared ring. Now to add power, all you have to do is lift the mass out of the ground. A simple, cheap gravitational battery. OMG! Solar and wind are the cheapest power available, ever. Put those two together and put an end to the fossil-fuel industry that poisons the environment.

One small modular reactor from NuScale Power a publicly traded American company that designs and markets small modular reactors. The very act would polarise & galvanise clean energy in concert with renewables.

One at a time

Look at the disaster in Sri Lanka.. while Australia won't go that extreme it will reverberate here

Vegetable diesel? Would that work as a transitory energy buffer before upgrading to nuclear or some other renewable?

We here in Texas USA have a couple of atomic reactors pumping out power. We could give you some power if we could figure a way to get it to you! HEY, you all have plenty of uranium! Why don't you have any reactors? :)

Invest in candles support the greenies

Gosh the fellow just explained WAs safety net. 15% gas production reserved for domestic use but you all glossed over it. The reason WA can phase out coal Is because gas is in reliable supply. Remember it takes about 40mins to start up a gas fired power station compared to 18 hours to start a coal fired station

McGowan is an ignoramus, but there isn't all that much coal in WA. Lots of gas.

Well, could Nationwide.protests & businesses strikes to RE-CALL, National No Confident Referendum perhaps?

WA doesn't have a power issue. So what did they do right. The Labor government there had a type of state energy guarantee. We nearly had an NEG but the LNP pandered to the energy lobbyists and corporations.

Labor were woke 🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️

Nuclear!!! Ffs nuclear!!

old people will freeze to death that happens ??????

People who voted for clean energy cut their powers.or turn off your electrecity and use only solar panels and wind turbine if it makes you happy.leave us alone to take responsability about the environment thanks for your advice we can manage without patronising us.

you should save coal for a possible ice age XD

Maybe open up enough coal, gas and fracking to reduce the price by a third (hydrocarbons are used to make plastics too, btw). Besides that you need nuclear in a big way. Desalination requires electricity, water treatment requires electricity, charging electric vehicles requires electricity.

A Man Made Crisis, The Reasoning I Am At A Loss.✈️

What we need are more electric vehicles sucking on the grid.

I’m still waiting for the gas and water pipeline from WA to SA. How about the to expensive apparently interconnector from west to east

Bloke with glasses doesn't live in the same space as me.

There is no climate crisis anyway. Go coal gas and nuclear.

Hey but go get them electric vehicles 😂

so what good were the Libs for?

Conroy is a determined dinosaur.

Gas can replace coal if you have some

Hell

Cannot hear the conversation! Quit interrupting!

thought they were using solar guess it doesn't work

Barny, you lost. Now move on and think about how much you will charge rural Australians for all that water you stole when the next drought comes around. :I

STOP SPINNING BS

people will be loosing jobs ??????

Me thinketh and yet another., Jolly 'ol.........theory!@!?😝🤪😜😎

be ready to eat cold meals ?????

Australia didn't create its own energy nightmare - 9 years of LNP neglect did. Be honest boys ..please.

Just switch everyone to electric cars, that will fix everything.

China has 1,110 Coal Fired Power Stations (C.F.P.S.) in operation, a further 92 under construction, a further 148 in planning. India has 285 C.F.P.S. in use, 26 under construction, 22 in planning. Australia has 9 C.F.P.S. in use (which the Woke" in the community demand be closed), none under construction, none in planning, and we, a nation rich in power resources, have blackouts in various states. Moronic "leadership" over many years to satisfy idiots within the community have already driven most manufactiring overseas to CHINA (who use C.F.P.S.) and is now threatening the aged and poor with life threatening power cuts and costs. We used to be the "lucky country" but we sure aren't the "smart country" allowing this idiocy to continue.

Conroy = labor flog / has been ! Stupid green logic!

Third works countries have better energy and economic numbers than US and Australia

Canberra has no such issues relying on renewables. Planning is the key.

Maybe they would like Joe Biden for president

Can't view comments

Maybe stop wasting time on b.s? And possibly get your supreme to talk to leftists and actually do something beneficial with her influence.? . 9 year's And we're about to waste 12 more.

Jesus is Lord God bless

This is all BULLSHIT... All we need to do is to put the *TOP 5 tiers of management from each of the companies involved in supply into GAOL with no heating hot water or cooked food, give them a mobile phone each and tell them:* A week after the power is reinstated, we will determine whether to let you out of gaol
