"as if it is actually happening when it is obviously not. Fossil fuels still provide 90% of our power requirements." Convinced yourself that the fantasy is true, there's no transition to renewable's, and 90% of Australia's/world power is generated by fossil fuels. Keep believing it, and it might defy reality and come true.

Hi Paul,
It took France fifteen years to build 150% of its electricity generation half a century ago. How long will it take Australia with the koala clubbing grifter built wind and solar scam? Why doesn't the world cooperate and do what the French did half a century ago? Isn't there supposed to be an existential crisis? Posted by Fester, Wednesday, 20 May 2026 6:46:24 AM

As Australia transitions - as if it is actually happening when it is obviously not. Fossil fuels still provide 90% of our power requirements.
Coal-fired power stations will gradually close? At our peril. It won't happen. We need more fire-powered stations. Albanese should be copying the Chinese commos on that.
What should be closed down, not "gradually" but immediately, is the Net Zero Economy Authority.
