Wind turbines on Lord Howe Island tripled the cost of power and 60 per cent of the time island residents have to rely on diesel power
Listen to an audio of Sunday’s Australia all Over, click on start.
Aussie icon Dick Smith on ABC Radio opens up on the inefficiency and huge cost of renewable power which he says can never power industry and how battery storage costing $90m for one hour’s supply is “delusional.”
Sunday All Over host Ian McNamara invited Dick to discuss the ALP’s mad rush to install thousands of floating windmills off Illawarra. His explanation of the madness behind ocean floating windmills started off an avalanche of emails and phone calls which jammed the switchboard.
Most callers backed the electrical entrepreneur with tales of inefficient batteries and the entire grid breaking down particularly at Broken Hill after a storm which caused widespread blackouts and the $40m battery installation which did not work.
Then to top it off Simon Holmes a Court of Teals fame although the quintessential greenie and UN Agenda 30 supporter, had to agree with Dick, the cost of renewables was far too much for consumers to bear.
