Lily D’Ambrosio, Victoria’s warmist Minister for Energy, in 2017 claimed Labor was helping to “deliver affordable, sustainable and renewable energy”.
All three promises were broken yesterday.
Affordable? Victoria actually had wholesale power prices hit $14,500 per megawatt hour – when prices used to average less than $40.
Sustainable? Wind power generators on Thursday delivered a feeble 3.8 per cent of the state’s power, thanks to fickle winds. They could not deliver when needed most.
Reliable? Victoria – which helped drive the giant Hazelwood coal-fired generator out of business – ran short of electricity in the heat wave, and suffered blackouts that hit 200,000 homes and premises, even after it ordered big power users like the Portland smelter to shut down.
Why does Victoria, sitting on hundreds of years of supply of coal and big gas reserves, have an electricity system that can no longer deliver enough electricity?
Why? Because it bought the great global warming scare, and spent billions on unreliable green power instead of on a steady generator that would pump out all the power we need – and when we need it. It made coal-fired generators unprofitable, and told vast untruths about the great future of green power.
And for what? For pure symbolism. No cuts Australia makes to emissions will affect global warming, which has turned out to be nothing like the catastrophe that was predicted.
Global warming politicians are causing far more damage than global warming is every likely to. Yet who dares call them out?

Allow me to summarize this once more.
1) 288 K – 255 K = 33 C warmer with atmosphere is rubbish. The 288 K is a WAG pulled from WMO’s butt. NOAA/Trenberth use 289 K. The 255 K is a theoretical S-B temperature calculation for a 240 W/m^2 ToA ASR/OLR balance (1,368/4 *.7) based on a 30% albedo. By definition no atmosphere includes no clouds, no water vapor, no oceans, no vegetation, no ice, no snow an albedo perhaps much like the moon’s 0.15. 60% of the lit side would be above freezing, over the year 100 % due to the seasonal tilt, not that it matters since there will be no water to freeze. Without the atmosphere the earth will get 20% to 40% more kJ/h depending on its naked albedo. That means 20 to 30 C hotter w/o not 33 C colder. The atmosphere is like that reflective panel behind a car’s windshield.

2) 333 W/m^2 up/down/”back” GHG energy loop is thermodynamic nonsense, i.e. energy appearing out of nowhere, a 100% efficient perpetual energy loop, energy from cold to hot without work. “Net” radiation is total BS.

3) 396 W/m^2 upwelling ideal BB LWIR that powers 1) & 2) is, as demonstrated by experiment, not possible. If this upwelling energy does not work – none of it works.

1) + 2) + 3) = 0 GHE & 0 GHG warming & 0 man caused climate change.
I’ve got the science. You think you have some? BRING IT!!
You true believers have lying fact-free fake news MSM propaganda and voices in your heads.
