Why do we always put green energy assets in all the wrong places?
The main electricity demand comes from big cities and their industries, so generators should be nearby, thereby reducing capital costs and transmission losses and supporting local work. [emphasis, links added]
Why put wind turbines, access channels and power lines in rural and remote areas where there is very little power, neighbors hate them, destroy forests, eliminate residents' eagles and start bushfires?
Of course, it would be foolish to find a wind turbine anywhere in Queensland, the Northern Territory or the Kimberley Coast in Western Australia.
Given the love of green/turquoise for wind energy, let's place turbines on every hill or open space among voters to support green energyjust like Ryan in Brisbane, Warringah in Sydney, Kooyong in Melbourne and Canberra, the Australian federal capital.
Green children will benefit as the turbines remove green pies and noisy crows, rather than detangling or removing innocent innocent wedge-tailed eagles, other bushes and bats.
Why use gypsum from solar panels to remote grasslands that suffocate grasses and require long transmission lines to disturb the locals? And why trying to gilt by calling them wind and solar “farms” – they are totally anti-farm.
Cities should generate green power within their city from each roof, stadium, factory and railway station. Canberra's green green will certainly support the installation of large wind turbines on the top of the parliament and the floating solar panels on the Moronlo River.
(But the problem is that the politically active Nibi Bisby, who is politically active, is more politically active in Canberra’s real work and real community that is really worried about.)
certainly, A big problem is that the Solar Alliance refuses to work on rainy, foggy or cloudy days every day.
The wind energy alliance is much less predictable and its strikes can last longer. Therefore, large batteries or stored hydraulics are essential for windless nights or cloudy days, preferably near cities where power is needed.
But battery fires are not uncommon, and they are difficult to extinguish. Therefore, the large battery should be located next to each fire shed, starting with Fairfield (Australian Energy Minister Chris “Blackout” Bowen).
No other economic statement [net zero] Will work in an established safety net without nuclear, hydraulic, coal, natural gas…
Each university should also install a large battery near its chemistry department so that students can study the chemistry of lithium battery fire.
Now, politicians have been trying to drive motorists into electric cars before there is enough charging stations or green energy to power them.
Some sneaky bureaucrats have a hidden agenda here – using smart metering that allows them to drain the electric car's batteries to support the grid when wind and solar strikes.
So morning commuters may find their batteries running out to keep lifts, hospitals, trains and street lights working, rather than charging overnight car batteries.
The university is a great proponent of green energy, so let's make sure there is a large wind turbine outside of every physics department – their doctoral students can study the seasonal and daily changes in wind speed, as well as the impact on the electricity generated.
They can also study the harmonics of turbine noise and their effects on people, whales and other animals.
Due to the limited lifespan of panels and turbines, undergraduates in economics can study the feasibility of recycling wind turbine blades and solar panels. They can also study the green work created by using non-polluting crowbars and shovels to dig large holes to bury them.
However, the biggest problem with green energy is that we have overlooked the sage suggestions given by President Xi Jinping in 2024:
“Before you abolish the old things, make sure to build new ones.” -source
Our green politicians will forever remove coal-fired power and then prove that our cities and economies can survive on wind, solar and large batteries.
There is no other economy that this would work without nuclear, hydraulic, coal, natural gas or a certain safety net for neighbors that house extended ropes.
For Australia, “zero net” is a negative game – the economic suicide agreement.
PS: Australia's first wind generator is shutting down. It will leave behind destruction farmland.
