        "Wild weather in SA has brought down power lines" 200 houses blacked out. It's a click bait headline.

        We should be angry at the paper that tries to link battery storage to a storm blowing down power lines. We should be fucking furious. There are plenty of other things that are good for a laugh.

        Yes, we should be angry that a newspaper with a conflict of interest and a financial stake in fossil fuels continuously tries to sabotage renewables through propaganda. It stops being funny when a portion of its readers actually believe that propaganda.

        If you are so shit sure renewables are the way to go get off the grid and leave cheap reliable coal to the rest of us

        I'm so shit sure that most stuff in Murdoch press on energy cost and reliability for renewables is BS that I'd be laughing if so many people weren't sucked into it. Over 10 years, 20% of price rises have been related to renewables. No political party is dealing with the 80%

        200 houses...... is that all you write an article about infrastructure issues & link it back to the battery, the two are unrelated!
