is it? victoria is closing coal stations left right and centre. actually, theyre closing themselves because theyre not economically viable. but the libs dont like free market forces when it doesnt go the way they want.
the generation tech exists, the battery tech exists (again, adelaide is proof it is is both possible and quick). its years of lack of investment and maintenance causing pretty much all the issues. yay for years of privatisation and coal subsidies.
They have closed ONE major Coal Power Station EVER!.
FFS the Tesla battery in S.A. stops the grid having a meltdown if the sun goes behind a cloud.
Even if the coal stations closed "due to being not profitable enough" the operators would not care if Victorian households had regular blackouts.
Not their concern. No-ones concern apparently.
