Beetaloo gas fields in the Northern Territory to export the gas, none for Australia.
Australia’s parasitic mal-investments in wind and solar are destroying our energy generation capacity. Gas generation is essential to keeping the lights on, while commercial gas hot water and cooking are likewise essential. Everyday Australians will never accept the insane idea that Australia should stop using gas
Rabid gas haters of Labor and Greens pulling out all new and old domestic gas energy installations
Australians must take matters into their own hands to stop the madness

On the one hand, Australia bans the use of its own natural gas, while on the other hand plans huge gas processing and export expansion for international bidders warns Senator Malcolm Roberts.
We’re sending our natural resources overseas to power the economic prosperity of China, India and other nations. Then we’re buying back unreliable wind and solar manufactured with our gas and coal.
Maybe the Greens will appreciate the irony when they’re sitting in the dark without cooking and heating. Gas should be our back-up to the energy shortfalls, not the bad guy.
This war on gas is a heist under the banner of UN ‘net-zero’. The only winners are the billionaires involved with the corrupt UN-WEF “sustainability” agenda.
Have a look at the bottom of the supply chain for those batteries for solar and clean, green tech.
Colonies where slavery is legal is always part of the Communist system.

@Alan Vaughn. Exactly. We the human population of the Western nations are the carbon the UN and its Owners intend to reduce. Australia, the UK and KCIII lead the climate nutter pack with the Net Zero target.
The People’s Republic of China with a carbon footprint the size of the Great Wall is not going for ‘Net Zero’. Indonesia with the some of the world’s most active volcanoes – monster CO2 huffers and puffers – no body is going to put a cap on them. The WEFFies and SPEFies – big UN multilaterals – they don’t have any ‘Net Zero’ business limiting their entitlement to jet all over the world to Climate Conferences on all their private jets.
We are the poor polar bear who is supposed to just float away on the iceberg. In the UK they have pensioners who just freeze to death in the winter while the government commandeers hotels and spares no expense in heat and mod-cons for the latest illegal migrant wave from across the channel that has been picked up from the beaches and bussed to their destination.
@stephen low
All those wonderful initiatives and 10 GW of gas generated electric power you mention in your comment as you appear to be a devoted greenie troll, can be done a lot more reliably and less expensively with current ultra reliable and economically viable but soon to be extinct (for no good reason): coal fired power generation.
Like all hoodwinked, greenie believers and sadly, large numbers of the ignorant, propagandized public, you don’t seem to understand the real motive behind this push for so-called clean ‘green’ energy…
It’s nothing but a massive well-planned ruse based upon total fraud and the LIE that human activity is altering the global climate to such a degree that humanity must learn to accept and adapt to a more frugal (impoverished) lifestyle in order to ‘save the planet’, which we and our lavish lifestyles, thanks to fossil fuel based energy sources, are allegedly responsible for destroying. (Without any reliable, or verifiable evidence to support such a ludicrous allegation).
BTW stephen, CO2 is not a toxic or greenhouse gas, it is essential to sustain ALL life on this planet, yet you and your ‘greenie’ colleagues believe it is necessary to remove this life supporting element in its entirety!
The insanely absurd demonization of carbon dioxide is just one part of the huge lie they use to justify the destruction of our capitalist, industrialized Western society: through reliable energy deprivation.
Your apparent belief of the AEMO’s assurance via their stated ‘fact’:
It will complement battery and pumped hydro generation in periods of peak demand, particularly during long ‘dark and still’ weather periods. It will help cover for planned maintenance of existing generation and transmission. And it will provide essential power system services to maintain grid security and stability, particularly following unexpected outages or earlier than expected generation withdrawal.”
Is naive in the extreme.
Enjoy your near future of a pre-industrial era primitive existence, which the humanity loathing UN and WEF and other unelected overseas based NGOs are rapidly ushering in, and which you without realizing it, are welcoming and cheering on.
Extract from the AEMO (Australian Energy Market Operator) 2022 Integrated System Plan
“Without coal-fired generation, the ISP modelling suggests that the NEM will require by 2050 the firming capacity set out below:
“10 GW of gas-fired generation for peak loads and firming. Gas-fired generation will play a crucial role
as coal-fired generation retires. It will complement battery and pumped hydro generation in periods of peak demand, particularly during long ‘dark and still’ weather periods. It will help cover for planned maintenance of existing generation and transmission. And it will provide essential power system services to maintain grid security and stability, particularly following unexpected outages or earlier than expected generation withdrawal.”
Fact from AEMO (https://opennem.org.au/energy/nem/?range=7d&interval=30m):
The National Energy Market currently has 10 GW of gas generating capacity

Someone is not paying attention
Oh but they are. The treasonous money grabbing subsidy reapers and those who promote this lovely clean ‘green’ energy FRAUD.
All of those reasons you mentioned as to why this nonsense isn’t a viable energy solution – they don’t work and cannot work are the very reasons they are championing it to the hoodwinked plebes who actually believe the doom and gloom propaganda being forced down their throats: that we’re in the middle of a worsening a ‘climate crisis’ caused by us humans, therefore we must all work together to ‘save the planet’ – all ‘for the greater good’. Utter hokum that sadly, far too many, especially the younger generations have been totally duped, by relentless lies and fearful propaganda to believe…
What they don’t understand apart from the obvious lie that there is no ‘climate crisis’, there never was and if there is ever such a ‘climate crisis’ in the future, it won’t be caused by anything humans have been doing, apart from maybe Kill Gates’s life destroying geo-engineering projects – i.e., chem trails.
No, what it’s really all about is nothing to do with saving the planet. If it was really about reducing or eliminating toxic emissions, nuclear power stations would immediately eliminate the problem as well as generate orders of magnitude more energy and, very reliable energy at much lower cost.
The reason these greedy carpet-baggers actually prefer the useless green energy alternatives you mention is exactly what you said: they DON’T WORK.
Their agenda is not to ‘save the planet’ from those selfish human beings and their lavish fossil fuel dependent lifestyles but to impoverish us all. Return our modern energy dependent industrialized Western societies to a dystopian energy devoid, pre-industrial era existence, where we (those who survive) will be enslaved and totally dependent on them for our very survival.
And they invented and now champion the absolute nonsensical, unscientific myth of human caused climate change, or CAGW to accomplish it.
Many make the mistake of thinking the governments are stupid and incompetent fools. They’re NOT. Far from stupid or incompetent. Make no mistake: They know what they’re doing.
They KNOW these green alternatives are useless and that’s why they need them and promote them with subsidies They want us all under their jackboot in the long planned dystopian New World Order, where everyone (except them), will be equally poor and hopeless, thus totally dependent on them and therefore CONTROLLED by them.
Reliable and affordable electric power made available via coal, oil, gas or nuclear is utilized to power large industries and manufacturing, thus enables financial independence and freedom.
The oligarchs in the UN and WEF have decided the plebes must not have such financial freedom and be self-sufficient. They need to be enslaved and subjugated under their totalitarian global governance. The New World Order
It’s all a ploy to destroy capitalism (freedom) and replace it with global totalitarian governance.
Someone is not paying attention.
Wind turbines are not unreliable. They are totally useless and cannot boil a jug. They produce useless harmonics termed in the industry as dirty energy which through smart meters are fraudulently added to consumers power bills.
Rooftop PV solar cannot enter the grid. Can be consumed by the property where it is installed. Unreliable and sun dependent.
@Tony Ryan re: “Yanks screwing with our weather”. I think the guy you should contact about this is Dr Helmut Fluhrer (rhymes with Fuhrer) whose Weathertec-Services are conveniently located in Jordan, Switzerland and Germany. He is our weather worker holding the Australian government contracts for geo-engineering Australian weather. https://cairnsnews.org/2022/10/07/weather-man-who-makes-it-rain-in-australia/
Australia is an Economic Zone of China and our colonial masters have decreed wind and solar in order to meet our Net Zero ESG targets. All of this crap is produced in the PRC as well as EV ‘flaming coffins’ which require real and reliable energy sources to recharge. They have their slave colonies in Africa busy mining the lithium, cobalt and rare earths to make the batteries.
This type of thing has always been the Communist business model.
Ukrainian joke from the movie Chernobyl. “What uses a ton of coal, makes a shitload of noise and cuts an apple into 3 pieces?” Answer: “A Soviet machine designed to cut an apple into 4 pieces.”
Nobody seems to have realised that the AGW globalists are burning the candle from both ends. We are going to be in crisis in half the time previously anticipated.
In the north of Australia, nearly every day features dense grey cloud where in previous several decades blue skies reigned. The Dry Season has become a sad local joke, with days of drizzle interrupted by days of monotonous grey.
Even those northerners who know only football and TV, or both, are wandering outside in their usual drunken stupor commenting to their spouse, “Oi, Kylie, what month is this? When is the effing dry season?” And in sombre bar rooms, even these quasi-lifeless denizens are muttering “Is guvmint fuckin around with the weather?”
I listen to my peers and think to myself, “Maybe they are right. Are the Yanks screwing with our weather too?”
Well, I see a problem with this. They sell our gas overseas, close down our coal, and demand we use solar. But I have barely seen the sun since December 21 2022. How is solar going to work with no Sol?
Now I know why BP has been traversing the world buying up coal mines. Well, two can play at that game. I am going to corner the kero lamp and candle market.
