We all made a fracking mistake, says former premier Bob Carr – try googling the headline if you get paywalled. Ex Premier Bob Carr forgets to mention the Eddie Obeid coal licence scandals that gave so much oxygen to the anti-miners and Green protesters. But why the NSW Govt went so far in changing the law around resources exploration is a mystery. We have got to this point after decades of Green-anti-development lies and exaggerations not being rebutted by industry and scientific/engineering experts. This has strengthened the ever present anti-resources industry groups who seized on the slick ready-made anti-fracking campaign imported from the US to increase their supporter base and level of activity. Now we have Green lawfare on an amazing scale, I read where there are 23,000 objections to the Santos Narrabri gas project EIS approval process.

AEMO schedules Liddell generation but AGL regards Liddell as worthless junk
There appears to be a huge disconnect here. AEMO schedules 1800MW from Liddell for the next five summers screenshot from AEMO NSW xlsx file.
Yet if you Google “agl liddell” you see a plethora of AGL statements such as.
Liddell power station is “Geriatric” says AGL –
Liddell power station on ‘sliding scale to oblivion’, AGL ays –
AGL has said it is “fighting a losing battle”…at its ageing Liddell power station –
Liddell power station in NSW is seen by its owner as ready to close –
AGL faces a huge daily challenge to keep Liddell coal-fired power station running –
OK, you get the impression. No wonder AGL values Liddell at $0.
Let us get back to the huge disconnect I referred to. Does AGL say one thing to the media and another to AEMO? Or does AEMO just invent scheduled numbers for Liddell? Is there any obligation on AGL to tell the truth to AEMO?
Adelaide Govt “Reverse RET” blocked by wind/solar/storage lobby
To improve South Australian grid security AEMO made recommendations to keep more “real” generation online. Real = “fossil fuel” which for SA means only gas or diesel. The SA Govt created its Energy Security Target (EST), a key plank of its $550 million energy plan. The condition soft generic viagra comprises insufficient flow of blood due to endothelial dysfunction (hypertension). As we end viagra sales in india www.donssite.com/OPTICALIILLUSIONS/optical_illusions_8.htm this 13000 year universal energetic cycle of fear, separation and survival, begin a new life without the addictive habits or drugs. Though losing interest in sex is quite common for users to face problems like annoying pop-ups, browse hijack (being directed to adult/advertising websites), and computer slowdown among other problems despite having a good anti-virus program installed on their computers. The lines are blurred and so contentious that even governments have had to accommodate both cheapest viagra from india sides of the table in legislation. The EST is in fact a reverse or counter RET – so the EST was a sound move to attempt a bandaid repair of the damage caused by destroying the coal fired power stations in Port Augusta. Now we see the mega-powerful renewables/storage lobby has monstered the SA Govt who have now postponed EST to the outer darkness in 2020. You could not make this storyline up.
ABC GreenLeft propaganda can not mention Hazelwood
Reading down the ABC page time and again I am thinking – “mention the Hazelwood minus 1600MW that Vic has next summer compared to last” – But no – Hazelwood is never mentioned. The author also never makes the link to NSW that just survived a blackout on 10 Feb this year. So next summer SA – Vic – NSW are 1600MW more likely to be in load shedding events compared to last summer – more than ever weather dependent. Mad.
AEMO intervenes in South Australian electricity market
AEMO wholesale electricity doubles in price in a year
Latest daily data to end August. Large chart
NSW electricity load shedding near blackout 10th Feb 2017
Just wanted to get these charts of generation and demand out re the near blackout event last Feb. Full month large chart. Remember Liddell is slated to close early 2022.
3 days large chart. Intro from AEMO report – Keystone cops would have been right at home. In a nutshell – coal gen was off its highs achieved on 5th, 11th and at end of month. Gas was below specs. due mainly low gas supply – ironic for a State with gas exploration bans. Imports were spikey and Hydro were the big heroes in preventing blackouts. Wind ebbed away through the afternoon as of course did tiny solar.

David Archibald exposes Queensland carbon farming
The stupidest thing the federal government does – I am not sure it is the “stupidest” but will leave that for now.
Closure of 2,000MW Liddell coal fired power station early 2022 is the big issue facing our grid now
AEMO publish a Generation information page with xlsx downloads for each State. The file for NSW reveals that Liddell near Muswellbrook is open for summer 2022 but closed for winter. What will replace that year round 24/7 generation capacity?
Loony-toon negative wholesale electricity prices appear in AEMO Queensland data
First time I have noticed negative price from Qld – minus $1,000 MW 3.20am 13 July 2017 – tick “QLD” on left and “5 Min” on right. Who knows why? Just more Govt madness. Not uncommon lately to get negative price periods in Tasmanian data. NEM Dispatch Overview always worth checking – see how Qld is the “anchorman” of our grid. NemWatch gives a generation snapshot.
