"Our grandfathers built a low-cost reliable decentralized electricity supply for all states of Australia based mainly on black and brown coalfields — Blair Athol, Callide, Ipswich, Sydney/Newcastle, Yallourn, Leigh Creek, and Collie....Coal and hydro gave Australia reliable low-cost electricity that was the envy of the world and supported primary, secondary, and tertiary industries.
...All that changed with the U.N.-initiated climate war on coal and gas, which drove a campaign of tax-delay-and-destroy hydrocarbon energy.
...Green energy was mollycoddled with subsidies, mandates, and propaganda, and electricity supply was polluted by a rash of intermittent wind and solar plants with no backups.
These caused such variability and unreliability in electricity supply that the successful state-based decentralized electricity networks were replaced by a costly interconnected Eastern States grid. Transmission costs rose sharply because of guaranteed returns on inflated capital for interstate, undersea, and the scattered wind-solar connections.
Electricity costs soared, reliability suffered, and Australian industry closed or moved to Asia..."
