        He wants 'projects to make electricity supply more reliable.' SA has a bloody great big battery - get a few more of those. Last summer is the first summer I remember without rolling power outages in Adelaide and I suspect it's got something to do with our battery.

        ‘Clean coal’ you say? Like a hot ice cube or a full term prime minister. The two concepts diametrically opposed to one another and it is nothing short of fraudulent mislabelling to conflate them in an attempt to promote a dying industry.

        Banks say coal loans aren't viable, so the anti-capitalist coal lobby run government have to step in.

        I am ok with coal generators being shut down. But we are a long way from having any technology that can replace them. We refuse to even talk about nuclear. We refuse to take gas out of the ground, what we do take out we give to other countries. And not enough water.

        Coal at $120 per ton is not cheap. I fail to see how power will be generated economically at this price compared to renewables.
