Just by means of a hand calculator on todays 1300 hrs figures to
achieve 43% reduction by 2030 will need the existing renewables to
have twice the existing renewable capacity added to the existing renewables.
It would be interesting to do this calculation each hour during weekdays.
All the data is there to do it with a spreadsheet.
There might well be a suitable spreadsheet already available on the
web site that could be added to. Will look.

God you do talk garbage SR.

Even that green ratbag running the UK has realised that Sun & Wind are totally incapable of running a modern economy, & ordered nuclear generators.

Do you ever read anything but propaganda?

Yes the data is there, in fact there is masses of it, just finding the
one you want is the trick.
There are daily records in time steps I have not yet worked out what
they mean. They might be five minute intervals.
There are different records for each state that I have seen so far.
It would be a great job for a Raspberry Pi. It could just sit in the
corner grinding away.
All I would want to see is how short of demand are the renewables.
That after all is the crux of the argument, and can we afford to fill the gap.

And there are Claytons renewables as well Bazz. A recent audit found that diesel generator output was being included in the renewable tally. With the low hanging renewable fruit mostly picked the task will get harder. Germany is just following it's tradition of doing stupid things.

Bazz,

The way the 43% reduction works is that Labor realizes that the coalition will already exceed their commitments and adds 10%.

That Labor has absolutely sod all idea of how to do it matters nought. Labor has no problem making grand promises that they have zero intent to deliver.

Remember Rudd's promises to maintain fiscal responsibility and to maintain border control or Juliar's promise never to introduce a carbon tax?
