Tony from Oz has this very readable 15 page 1MB pdf submission to the Queensland Govt – he shows how Qld could spend $65Bill before 2030 in this Quixotic A combination of treatments works best in order to defeat fatal sexual levitra best price complication like impotency a number of pharmaceuticals have initiated manufacturing anti-ED tablets. Some people publish statements of their accounts and they are afraid when levitra online order the details are revealed. Doctors usually help patients facing erectile dysfunction with the quality of medicines that viagra sans prescription are available today. There are a number of products available in the market ,some of them are: Anti-allergy and soothing chamomile dusting powder Anti-allergy and calming chamomile tablets Bio calcium tablet Advanced joint care formula liquid Joint pain relief rub Natural seaweed calcium levitra 60 mg plus vitamin C and D Skin and Coat antifungal gel Super Multi with Glucosamine Powder Vegetarian Glucosamine plus Celadrin plus Deodorant pellet for small animal Skin and coat supplement tablets Vegetarian glucosamine. quest. Another GreenLabor disaster looming with Oz taxpayers money. Let us assist by figuring out how Qld could walk their talk. Tony’s post at his own site.
If Tony is reading, it needs a management summary.
It’s like an abstract in a scientific paper. 95% will only read the abstract. The other 5% learn enough from the abstract that they need to read the whole thing.
I was surprised at the amount of power generated in QLD from sugar cane residue, but that is a finite resource. We regularly hear about a new crop that will produce huge amounts of bio-fuel, then never hear of it again. Biomass simply doesn’t scale.
The Qld Govt has this Electricity generation page
www.business.qld.gov.au/industry/energy/electricity-industry/electricity-queensland/electricity-generation
and there is a map of Queensland power stations by type where you can turn off various types and see what you want clearly. You can also turn on “Existing” and “Proposed”.

I have seen worse information from a State Gov.
Phillip,
thanks for your comment.
The Panel asked for some personal information, which is on Page 1, and if the Submission was a long one, then it was advised to include a Summary, which is on Page 2.
I understand it’s long, as is the nature of something like this. You can just say that it might not be able to be achieved, but to explain correctly, then the full case has to be built up from the beginning, which is what I have attempted to do. The original Issues Paper released by the Panel itself is a lot longer than my Submission, and it seems incongruous to me that the Panel might expect people to read their Issues paper, and then not expect people to read a detailed response, but I take your point here.
I find that it’s a real pity that some people just tend to skim over some things, which they think might not be all that important.
As to the ‘Bagasse’ power plants, using that sugar cane residue, these plants are in fact quite numerous here in Queensland, and nearly all sugar mills have them, on the same site as the mill itself, and in virtually every case, they only supply power for the mill during operation of the mill during that processing season. They have all been around for ages in fact, some of them ancient. Filthy things too. I visited the Millaquin Mill at Bundaberg, (the home of Bundy Rum) and I saw the small plant there, and it was the dirtiest plant I have ever seen.
Here’s a list of those power plants using Biomass here in Queensland, nearly all of them using Bagasse, the cane waste. 342MW of Nameplate Capacity in all.

Again, thanks for your comment.
Tony.
A major issue with politicians and their uncritical love affair with renewables is the intensity level of propaganda from the Renewables Industry – Just ponder this article for a minute as an example.
“Base Load power is now a myth” so say renewable energy enthusiasts
www.warwickhughes.com/blog/?p=4343
I do not know how rational thought on renewables can break through to politicians.
While I am sceptical of the viability of large scale renewable power that hasn’t been demonstrated as viable at small scale, progress is being made. I was recently in Coral Bay, which is off the State grid and has wind power, although suprisingly needs 7 backup diesel generators. They use a flywheel storage system to balance the variable power from wind.

IMO the renewables strategy should be self-contained systems in remote locations that progressively get installed closer to cities and at larger scale as the technology matures, which has the obvious benefit of saving on infrastructure costs.
With her latest masterstroke of 50% renewables loonacy it is clear Palaszczuk is hell-bent on having Queensland join the growing ranks of mendicant states like Tasmainia and South Australia. As if this already basket case state needs even higher priced electricty than it has now, a final nail in the coffin of already struggling energy intensive industries:
“Queensland’s public debt is set to balloon to almost $80 billion within four years as the Palaszczuk Labor government confirmed it was again turning to government-owned business to park borrowings.
Releasing the Mid-year Fiscal and economic Review, Treasurer Curtis Pitt said $1 billion in debt would now be put on the books of government-owned port and water businesses as expenses grew and coal royalties fell.”
