We are already adding 3GW a year to our rooftops, the equivalent capacity of a couple of nuclear reactors. This is hollowing out grid demand. Last week grid demand fell below 10 GW for the first time.
@@tassied12 So what. One nuclear plant out of how many around the world? In QLD a coal fired power station went down because of a catastrophic failure of an alternator. Same in Victoria when a wind farm went down in SA.
It is also very easy to clean up coal fired power. We burn the crap coal here for starters and send the black stuff offshore. We do the same with our steak.
If nuclear is the best thing since sliced bread why is Taiwan shutting down all their nuclear power. If it's so cheap why won't Dutton give us a number? Any number between 0 and 100% will do. Is the 'Expert' Ms Riley's brother in law?
The electricity network has to be in balance. The voltage must be stable in order for it to work. Stop-start renewables that switch on and off at all hours of the day and night, cause mayhem for the network operators. They inject chaos into the energy network. These renewables are an actual liability.
A much bigger problem is when coal and nuclear plants suddenly go offline, taking 100's of MW offline with no notice. They are large single points of failure. The explosion at Callide C resulted in 400,000 people losing power (and the plant is only coming back online now after over 3 years) A distributed grid is much more reliable. The most reliable grids in Europe in terms of lost time per customer are in Denmark and Germany. Both have high concentrations of renewable generation. There are multiple factors at play, but they show that high renewables dont necessarily lead to an unreliable grid.

Solar and wind have a short life less than 20 years, considering that they produce energy only 25% of their lifespan that shortens the real energy producing time to 5 years before a replacement is needed from China manufactured by utilizing coal.
