Armchair; China had blackouts because the power stations ran out of
coal so they had to dock and unload some of those ships anchored off.
Coal is a global market, so China bought coal elsewhere and elswhere's
customers bought coal from Australia and or somewhere else.
What I would like to know is how many cargoes were sold while the
ship was at sea ? It would be interesting to track some of these ships.
There seems to be a realisation that the whole wind and solar is a very
expensive way to generate electricity especially if you want it to be
available 100% of the time.
Looks like the British are going to abandon the whole idea.
A country as small as Britain had no hope of making it work especially
with their weather reputation.
Australia might just make it work as the country is big enough to
find enough wind systems at any one instant. However the duplication
required to take advantage of that is the financial killer.
Then to use it you need the CSIRO's $Trillion grid all over Australia.
Then there is the waste problem of disposing of 100,000s of dud solar panels,
Then there is the waste problem of disposing of failed turbine blades.
Hopeless really.

Good job mhaze. Not that my opinion matters - they should have rationed Calcutta.

mhaze, you fell into a hole with your claim that Australian wheat was delivered to India. Political considerations by the British government prevented famine relief from being delivered to Bengal, when it could have been. The result of British government action was the deaths of millions. Have I mentioned Bengal was what is now present day Bangladesh, you probably don't know that, they're all Indians to you.

To give you some understanding, imagine a famine in Tasmania, a small amount of Canadian fish, about 2% of the entire nations requirements, is delivered into the port of Gladstone, btw Gladstone is in Qld, a long way from Tasmania. The Argentinean government which controls Australia, including the state of Tasmania, prevents that fish, and any other imported fish from reaching Tasmania, where the famine is, because they fear an invasion of Tasmania by the penguins from Antarctica. The Argentinian government through their action of denying Tasmanian's fish consign million to a death by starvation. No fish ever crosses Bass Strait.

Your "wheat to India", may as well have been, "wheat to Bongostan", it was irreverent.

But yesterday you admitted that Aussie wheat did indeed go to India. What a berk!

mhaze, this might come as a complete surprise to you but the BENGAL FAMINE was in BENGAL, no Australian wheat was exported to BENGAL, haven't I told you BENGAL was where present day Bangladesh is. Maybe you can claim Australian wheat was exported to Uzbekistan in 1943, just as relevant. What a pillock!
