        Yes we need a big battery and wind and solar like SA they have had less blackouts that Vic or NSW this year - with the same or perhaps more hotter days

        No such thing as clean coal. And it’s because the coal power stations have tripped in the heat that there are blackouts. There will be no new coal fired power stations built in Aust. Renewables now cheaper, cleaner and more reliable.

        if they spent as much developing clean coal as they waste fighting it we would have clean coal now!

        Spent billions and billions on clean coal. And it’s neither clean nor cheap. Why are you fighting for ancient polluting health destroying tech, when renewables are here, now and inevitably the way of the future. Got some stranded coal assets somewhere have you?

        You’re a genius. $55k? Hahahaha and you could have spent less than half that on solar and a big battery, feeding back into the grid and paying for itself in 5 -10 years. Oh well, a fool and his money ...
