Stop being a fool and continue with coal fired power and stop the zero nonsense.
Might be better if we all turn on every electrical appliance we have and let them run all night. It seems nothing but a total collapse of the grid will wake people up to how ridiculous our charge to net zero is. Wind and solar CANNOT deliver base load power and never will.
So good to see things going so good under this goverment

Message to albo. Just do something about it. Instead of blaming the coalition and doing nothing.
