My motion successfully carried today in the Senate.The government has admitted they know that our energy grid is at a critical status because of the influx of renewable energy into the system. Despite this, they continue to chase stupid green-left policies for solar and wind that will destroy the country without reliable, coal fired power.
Motion: The Senate-
- notes that:
- the Energy Security Board stated in January 2021 that the system security of the power grid is at a critical status after the influx of renewable energy into the system,
- in February:
- the River Thames froze for the first time in over 50 years,
- hundreds of United States cities recorded their coldest temperatures in decades,
- wind turbines in Texas froze solid, and
- solar panels in Germany were blanketed in snow,
- naturally variable weather events place serious strain on power grids,
- relying on weather-dependent power generation to save us from weather events is a recipe for power failure, and
- reliable baseload power is essential to provide safety and security for Australians; and
- calls on the Government to urgently commence the construction of reliable, baseload power generation.
