Australia’s big picture: climate change, nuclear energy, and defence

We are destroying our economy by shutting down baseload power whilst subsidising fake renewables, big batteries, and the incredible energy-gobbling pumped hydro ‘Snowy 2.0’ scheme. With a tunnelling machine buried near the entry of a difficult tunnel, this imitation of hydro may never happen.

Meanwhile South Australia, the world’s leading fake renewable state, might not be able to keep the lights on. Even when the sun’s shining and the wind’s blowing, the state has a huge problem because the grid is struggling to handle the power ‘surges’ associated with fluctuating renewable output. South Australia’s backup is dirty brown coal from Victoria. But it’s okay, because that’ll soon be shut down.


Thank heavens Federal Environment Minister Plibersek has stopped a black coal mine in Queensland that would have supplied cleaner and more reliable energy to undeserving people in India. It would have threatened the far away Great Barrier Reef that inconveniently keeps getting better after coral bleaching ‘disasters’…

Meanwhile, China is powering ahead with coal. They’re allowed to do this because they’re one of mankind’s underdeveloped nations, according to the experts at the United Nations. Not like Australia, whose political system is dabbling with granting an extra Voice to Parliament based on race to ensure the one-man-one-vote ideology doesn’t stuff up our democracy. I apologise to our new generations of rainbow watermelons for the politically incorrect usage of ‘mankind’.

The Chinese communist regime is going to force their democratic cousins in Taiwan to join the People’s Republic. Australia’s committed to an alliance with the USA that should defend Taiwan. We’ve also signed up with Aukus to get nuclear powered submarines. Journalists have asked when we would start building them in Adelaide.

It doesn’t really matter, because China will invade Taiwan long before we get any new subs. Australia will never build any in Adelaide because there’s not enough power. But thank heavens that we’ll be safe from the dangers of nuclear energy.
