@Mickyp69010688 @IanHugh07940666 @LofayPeter @old_grumpy_git @AllBiteNoBark88 Aust has some of the best renewable energy resources IN THE WORLD! There is very rarely a time when the sun dont shine and wind not blow. We could be owning it and becoming energy superpower and exporter. Whats your problem? Mine sites renewable now because...its cheaper.

Here we go again folks Towing the caravan on another leg of our road trip (at enormous diesel fuel expense of course) from Apollo Bay, Victoria towards Ballarat, Victoria on a cool, cloudy, grey old morning, 19th March 2026. Presumably not much solar power being generated. Upon approaching Rokewood, south of Ballarat we were greeted by a distressing scene that can only be described as like some dystopian "war of the worlds" horror movie. Very large numbers of enormous, f'ugky wind turbines devastate the local landscape and almost all of them sitting completely idle, staring down ominously like some silent, oppressive, alien invasion. What a disaster! @LilyDAmbrosioMP @ChrisMinnsMP @MRobertsQLD @PaulineHansonOz @DavidCrisafulli @LiberalsVic @mattjcan @AngusTaylorMP @LofayPeter Watch👇

At the Rosewood and Mt Buniyong scenes of environmental vandalism I said "almost none working" At the Portland (Cape Breakwater) war zone I said "not a single one working". Those statements are 100% true. Onshore wind has a capacity factor of around 33% and so to match a modern high efficiency coal plant of typically 800MW (as one example) a wind turbine farm would have to have 2.4GW capacity. Thats' about 750-1,500 expensive and not very clean bird-chopping eyesores covering vast swathes of land. On top of that, you'd need grid scale batteries the size of a small town that can re-produce 800MW continuously for about 12-16 hours, so around 9.6GWH or more. Go price up those many, many billions. And on top of that, wind turbines and the batteries need replacing every 10-15 years compared to 70+ for a coal plant, so multiply your already enormous initial un-reliables outlay by about 5. (By the way, the rehabilitation of each individual wind turbine site when it is decommissioned costs about 2million dollars.) And finally, to adopt to the folly of unreliable wind (or solar) you'll need to expand and re-wire the grid which for Australia is over A$1trillion. Yeah mate, wind is heaps better.

@NoticerNews @FL480 How the fuck do they work out how to defraud so much money?? Seven bloody kids!! FFS! I thought I’d scanned the a jar of jam in Coles self checkout but it didn’t register it and the whole place nearly went into lockdown- Albanese’s diversity really means ripping off taxpayers,

@old_grumpy_git They need a little bit of mechanical assistance , as in a little motor , to turn them over.

Australian voters. Vote Labor . They destroy your state. The answer vote for them again, but this time with a bigger majority. How dumb have voters become.

Near the bottom of one of these monstrous killing machines in Portland Victoria last week I found the claw of a very large raptor, completely severed off above the ankle... probably a (previously) magnificent wedge-tail eagle. 😥 I should have photographed it but I was in a bit of shock tbh

@old_grumpy_git @AllBiteNoBark88 Each turbine holds 400 litres of oil which requires to be changed every 18 -36 months their maybe a delay with supply or it is rumoured that due to low wind they are not running 66% of the time !!!!
