POWER BILLS TOO HIGH

When are we going to get rid of these raving loonies that control and exploit our electricity production? We have had enough of their bullshit. NO MORE STUPID WIND FARMS OR LARGE SOLAR PLANTS allowed, both of which are PARASITIC to base-load (coal, gas and hydro) power stations. Let them rust away and collapse, and good riddance to them. We must sensibly exploit our large coal and gas resources, build more dams, and start a nuclear power industry. The rest of the World must think Australia is populated by idiots of the Green variety. Advice from Allano who lives in Adelaide, South Australia, and who gets ridiculous power bills.

AUSTRALIAN ENERGY SUPPLY SOLUTION

The energy solution is obvious...we have had cheap power before with no problems. Confine power production for the National Network to that from using COAL, NATURAL GAS, HYDRO and NUCLEAR power stations

All intermitant power should be phased out and not allowed for the National Network. No more wind farms or large solar plants allowed, hence no more subsidies for them. Also, no more than 50% of power plants should be privately owned, and/ or there should be a limit to private ownership of existing plants.

Get rid of the RETS and any UN influence to our Energy Polices. UN get lost.  Regards from Allano

CRAIG KELLY MP HAS THE RIGHT IDEA

Craig Kelly MP supports building more coal-fired power stations. We would be MAD not to do so. Get rid of all the RETS (Renewable Energy Targets) for they are just UN anti- carbon propaganda. We WANT MORE CO2 in the atmosphere, NOT LESS. Trust me,for I am not from the Government.  My comment on Facebook.  Regards from Allano

THE AUSTRALIAN POLITICAL LEVEL OF STUPIDITY

A useful measure of stupidity to compare the political parties in Australia is given by the level of support they give to RETS, or Renewable Energy Targets. This is in response to UN propaganda to reduce Greenhouse gas emissions and supposedly prevent the World from global warming. Federally, this is taken at 26% , the Labor Party has the goal of 50%, and The Greens 100%. How wonderful all this is, I don't think! The UN will be as pleased as punch to have the major Australia political parties following their bunkum. I suspect they actually believe their anti-carbon nonsense is true….which it isn't.

Our pollies have swallowed hook, line and sinker all the UN anti-carbon propaganda and, according to them, how it is necessary to reduce our Greenhouse gas emissions. CO2 is demonized and kept out of sight, preferably buried underground, as in CCS or "carbon capture and storage", which is a bizarre Green technology, and quite unnecessary.

Chemists will tell you the true story. Carbon is the most wonderful element in the Periodic Table. It forms more compounds than all the other elements put together. Carbon is an essential part of all life forms. You are made of millions of different complex carbon compounds, as are all animals and plants. CO2 is not a pollutant at all. Plants use CO2 to build their structures by photosynthesis and give out oxygen in the process. How stupid it is of the UN to try and fool us to limit CO2 emissions into the atmosphere when it is already at the low level of about 400 ppm.

Carbon in its crystalline form as diamond is the hardest substance known to man and has important uses as an abrasive, as well as being a prized gemstone. Also in the form of graphite, it is a soft mechanical lubricant. Its high melting point makes it useful for component parts of jet and rocket engines, whereas high strength carbon fibres have a myriad of uses, including the making of fishing rods. So pollies, don’t go knocking carbon.

For the future wellbeing of Australia, I suggest that the Ministry of Energy ignores all the false and mythical advice it gets from the UN and its IPCC. The RETS have to go for they are a nonsense. The Ministry requires a more reliable source of information. I recommend using the NIPCC, or Nongovernmental International Panel on Climate Change which is run by international scientists not overwhelmed by the UN anti-carbon propaganda.

AUSTRALIAN POLLIES ARE STARK RAVING MAD

The latest push by the NEG with Energy Policy is to lock in a 26% reduction of emissions by 2030, on 2005 levels.   This means we lock in 26% reduction for a full 10 years, until 2030.   What a load of nonsense dreamed up by the lunatic fringe of pollies, without a brain between them.   These idiot pollies should all be taken by the scruff of the neck and tossed into Lake Burley Griffin, metaphorically speaking, of course. 

How many times have I explained to them that Australia does NOT need to reduce its emissions of CO2, or "Greenhouse Gases", whatever you like to call them?  CO2 is NOT a pollutant.  It is a valuable component of the Earth's atmosphere, and there should be MORE of it in the atmosphere, not LESS.   Currently it is at the level of 410 ppm and is fortunately slowly increasing, largely due to the present vigorous volcanic activity in Hawaii, Guatemala, Indonesia and elsewhere.

I object to our Ministry of Energy formulating Australia's  Energy Policies according to the fraudulent anti-carbon mythology promoted by the United Nations.  We must get rid of these RETS, or Renewable Energy Targets at the State and Federal level, which stifle our economic development.  They are based on UN anti-carbon bunkum, and the mythology that they can control a supposed rise in the Earth's temperature by 2 degrees' thus preventing catastrophic global warming.  If you believe that you'll also believe in Father Christmas.  Geologists are predicting a global cooling and another Ice Age.   Regards from Allano.

AUSTRALIA DOOMED TO ECONOMIC MISERY

The proposed Energy Policy future expounded by NEG (National Energy Guarantee) must be avoided like the plague, since it is based on UN anti-carbon nonsense. Why doesn't Josh and the Ministry of Energy use their BRAINS to solve our energy crisis, instead of relying on the UN and its "clean energy nonsense", and related mythology, egged on by the power charlatans and the Greens, that is now jeopardizing our future well being..

According to NEG, it has the only comprehensive policy to force down domestic power prices. Apparently current and planned renewables are here to stay, and Snowy 2 makes them more reliable!!!. Our "clean energy future" is assured. We shall achieve our Paris CC obligations early, by our planned reduction of Greenhouse Gases.

Needless to say, this is all NONSENSE. We don't have to reduce our CO2 emissions, since CO2 is NOT a pollutant. CO2 is a desirable component of our atmosphere and is essential for the well being of the BIOSPHERE, i.e., for the growth of our crops, pasture and forests. We need MORE CO2 in the atmosphere, NOT LESS. Believe me, for I am a chemist, and not from the Government.  Regards Allano

NEG ENERGY POLICY IS A NONSENSE

Tony Abbott is correct to warn us of the potential failings of the National Energy Guarantee (NEG) proposals for Australia's energy future. Liberal Trent Zimmerman, at Tuesday 's Coalition party room meeting, had an opposite but soothing view. He said that all was well and that NEG had covered the three most important desires of policy: viz., providing grid security, lowering prices, and meeting our Paris targets. Also, he warned that it would be a serious mistake to ignore the rising concern of Australian voters about the impact of climate change.

The hobgoblins are now all in place. The American political writer and critic H. L. Mencken (1880 - 1956) wrote "The whole aim of practical politics is to keep the populace alarmed by menacing it with an endless series of hobgoblins, all of them imaginary."

This NEG Energy Policy is a nonsense.. It will fix nothing. Our energy crisis will get worse. It will not lower prices. Why is this?

Firstly, the policy is all dependent on the UN fallacy that CO2 is an unwelcome pollutant and must be eliminated, or reduced from our emissions, which is a nonsense. CO2 is the life blood of the BIOSPHERE and must be cherished. CO2 is an essential part of our atmosphere. There should be MORE CO2 not LESS in the atmosphere. The current level is about 410 ppm and is slowly rising, thanks to present vigorous volcanic eruptions in Hawaii, Guatemala and elsewhere. CO2 gas is good stuff. It is an invisible gas, found in many foods, including beer, wines, and breads etc. We humans breathe it out all the time. CO2 is nothing to be afraid of. It's not a hobgloblin.

Therefore it follows that our Ministry of Energy, and Josh the Minister, have been barking up the wrong tree. We don't have to reduce our emissions. We don't need to have RETS, or Renewable Energy Targets, which are designed to reduce our emissions of CO2 from burning fossil fuels, such as coal and gas, and stifle our economy at the same time. This idea is all a nonsense imposed by the UN; as previously warned by our former PM, Tony Abbott. "It's a load of crap." he says, and as a scientist (geochemist), I agree with him.

The other hobgloblin that is always drawn out to scare people is that of "climate change." Climate is always changing very slowly and has done since our planet Earth began, about 4 1/2 billion years ago. We humans can't do much about that. Geologists are not worried about it. You are welcome to believe in the mythology of Paris Accord, which is an agreement among countries to supposedly limit a world temperature rise to 2 degrees, by restricting Greenhouse Gas emissions. As a scientist, I equate this with believing in the mythology of Santa Claus, visiting at Christmas time with his sleigh drawn by reindeer, full of presents to put in your stocking at the end of your bed. Such mythology is wonderful for amusing children, but it is best forgotten when devising Energy Policies. Regards from Allano.

RETS IS BUNKUM …LET'S HAVE A US PRICE TARGET

RETS or the Renewable Energy Targets , are ridiculous targets promoted by the United Nations for countries, or States, to achieve in order to lower Green House Gas Emissions. It is ridiculous because the UN's anti-carbon ideology is a mythology based on false anti-carbon propaganda. The UN promotes this idea to LOWER the CO2 in the atmosphere, whereas in actual fact we need MORE CO2 gas in the atmosphere, to foster better plant growth in the biosphere, for our crops, plants and forests.

RETS must be abolished. Instead, we must consider CO2 as good stuff and not be alarmed about it increasing in the atmosphere. The plants love it and so should you.

Market gardeners use their glass houses with atmospheres having well over 1000ppm, ditto in submarines.and space craft. If we are going to have a goal, let's have a new GOAL, that being a PRICE of electricity GOAL to strive for. Let that be the average domestic price for electricity in the USA, which is about 15 cents/kwhr. The present price in Australia is 2 to 3 times this, and so is the highest in the World.

So this is our new PRICE OF ELECTRICITY GOAL. No subsidies allowed. If the USA can do it, so can Australia. Fire the silly buggers who say we can't. They mostly work in the Ministry of Energy and the Prime Minister's Office.

RETS NOT WANTED

Josh Frydenberg, the Minister of Energy,  looks intelligent but looks are deceiving. Nothing will change with your power bill until the Government rejects its UN directed RETS, or Renewable Energy Targets, and tells the Wind Industry to get lost. Support the Monash Group of pollies who are promoting coal-fired power stations.

TURN ON THE RIGHT TAPS......FOR OZ

Countries are dependent on flows of information and technology for their development and future prosperity. Always there is a need for a reliable supply of energy and electricity. This is very evident from Australia, and its economically failing States, especially South Australia, which is unfortunately lead by Greenie Premier Weatherill.

In South Australia, ideally we should have an energy mix of 30;30;30;10 i.e.,
Electricity power stations using coal 30%, gas 30%, nuclear 30% and Other 10%......I would be happy with that, and our industries would prosper knowing that supply is weatherproof (also Weatherill-proof) and reliable. We don't want bizarre power solutions from Nick Xenophon, nor any carbon trading schemes, or a second Interconnector Cable to adjacent Victoria State.....this would be like sending the energy lifeboat towards the Titanic for rescue by Premier Dan Andrews.

Just how incompetent can you get? Don't ask the Federal Government, or the CSIRO. Greg Hunt, our Energy Minister, relies on biased and corrupt UN information sources....why does he not receive reports from the US NIPCC? (The Non-Government International Panel on Climate Change). I would be impressed if he did, and turned OFF the information tap to the UN.

Where are the main sources of these flows of information and technology today? For coal and gas power stations we must look to Japan and China where there is much development and innovation going on. For nuclear power, I would seek help from the French and the Russians. France has 58 nuclear power stations that supply 77% of its electricity needs; in Russia the nuclear supply is about 20% of the total. However the Russians are skilled at building mini- or modular nuclear power stations to supply electricity to its vast Arctic Region (like our hot deserts) for isolated mining towns, and also for nuclear submarines and ice breaker ships.

To have a prosperous Australia we must source the right information and its associated technology. This means we must turn on the RIGHT TAPS for this to happen, at the same time TURN OFF those taps which are just supplying us with bunkum. Let's get cracking and make this happen.

CLEAN ENERGY NONSENSE......ALL SEMANTIC BALONEY

We surely don't want the future of Australia as depicted by Kane Thornton, the CEO of the Clean Energy Council. The Council's very name is deceptive and Thornton would unlikely pass the four dog test for trustworthy CEOs, for.he talks like a used car salesman and then only bunkum.

Following on the disastrous weather events in South Australia and Tasmania, it has become apparent that too much reliance on renewable energy is not a good thing. Our power supply needed for industry and domestic use is not WEATHER PROOF, nor in South Australia, is the supply Premier Weatherill-proof. Even the hydro-dams in Tasmania failed us when drought conditions came, largely because of mismanagement, and their stupidity in formerly selling power to the mainland, leaving depressed dam levels, that were unable to cope with weather emergencies.

Thornton says that we are going through a transition period of phasing out coal plants and moving our energy mix towards renewables, and this is a world wide phenomenon. NOT TRUE. It 's bunkum. There is a steady increase in the use of coal and construction of new coal -fired power plants, in Japan, China, India and throughout South East Asia. This is what we should be doing too, in Australia.

We need cheap reliable power from coal. You can't run a steel works or lead smelter or any heavy industry with intermittent and unreliable power from a wind farm; they are PARASITES to the National Grid.....the wind industry is NOT WANTED in Australia. In the forthcoming National meetings of the Minister of Energy (and the Environment) Josh Frydenberg, I hope that the importance of coal and gas in our energy mix is reaffirmed and that the wind industry is told to get lost.
