I guess in this woke climate it is something; EnergyAustralia managing director Mark Collette has warned that shutting down fossil fuel power plants too soon could threaten the national power grid. He is right, but we know that the threats are greater from just looking at the US, especially Texas, and European experiences. The existing infrastructure, and present-day life style, was not built around unreliable renewables such as solar and wind, that either give too much power, or fall far short when the sun does not shine and winds do not blow. But traditional power plants are closing without the guarantee that alternatives can meet demand. That is a threat to industry and daily life, especially the vulnerable who depend upon electricity.
