Climate change and electric vehicles : Comments

By Don Aitkin, published 10/11/2017

What the ACT Government has done is to commission solar and wind generation, much of it outside the ACT, that is a contribution to the grid.

The ACT should maintain a data dashboard like King Island
http://www.kingislandrenewableenergy.com.au/
so we can see where their electricity is coming from at any moment in time. When the interstate connector from a wind farm is down we'll know how they worked around it, not by using coal power of course. Or if a drought decimates hydro how the ACT ended up using most of the output but not neighbouring Queanbeyan.

Google and Apple are now saying some of their server farms are 100% renewable powered. If you buy an REC for daytime solar power apparently that means you are using solar at night. I also suggest the ACT should have its own wind farms such as on Mt Majura. When they are outside the ACT it's like clothing made in sweatshops insofar as the beneficiary doesn't see what others had to go through.

One achievement for the ACT would be to encourage schoolkids to question the territory government's claims.

The only question on power is, how do Australians regain it?

"The evidence of climate change is overwhelming". Yes. But the evidence for human cause is so 'underwhelming' as to be non-existent.

Why on Earth anyone wants to keep raking up the lies, kicking them about, is beyond comprehension for any sane, logical person.

Climate change, yes. Can mere mortals do anything about it, no.

Boring, boring, boring - and very costly.

ABC bleat this morning: "Why is Australia so slow at adopting electric cars?". Then: "In the race to adopt electric cars...".

Answer to the silly question: because they are expensive and impractical.

The "race to adopt" : there is clearly no 'race' at all - in Australia or elswhere. The average person has more common sense than ABC employees.

The only reason that electric cars are selling anywhere else is because they are subsidized by the taxpayer to the tune of >50%. That even then they are still very expensive and short ranged is probably why any sane individual will not touch them.

warmist know just like the evolution fantasy that by repeating lies often enough the young believe and embrace the narrative. No wonder the getup generation is so dumbed down, Meanwhile the debt in the country grows at a massive rate and electricity prices soar.
