Not even summer, with one warm week, and the Australian grid is on the verge of blackouts

It’s not even summer and the Australian grid is having heart palpitations.

The Blob are in concert — blackouts might be at hand, and they want us to blame the heat (it’s code for climate change). Let’s get a grip, we’re only talking about a Sydney forecast of 33°C (all of 91F).

The ABC calls this “sweltering” and files it under “extreme weather events”. Channel Nine call it a “major heatwave”, which it might be if it were London.

Energy market operator warns of potential blackouts across the state, with NSW and Sydney expected to swelter

For most of the last week, the AEMO (Australia Energy Market Operator) has been flashing red lights and ringing the LOR3 bell. That means  they’ve been forecasting a full Level 3 Lack of Reserve, which means they can see blackouts coming. A level 3 is the most serious warning alarm. Not only is there no reserve power available if something goes wrong, there’s not even enough power for normal operations.

Aussies are blessed with some of the world's greatest hydrocarbon resources yet fail to fully embrace them, preferring to spend attention toward questionable methods to obtain the power they need as a nation.

So who in Australia is going to complain, remember what they did to their citizens over Covid. There is no impicit protection of free speech in the Australian constitution.
