QUEENSLAND’S “Big Battery” at Chinchilla, which according to former MP Craig Kelly has cost about $150 million, has a maximum capacity of 200MWh before it runs flat.

Two hundred megawatt hours sounds impressive until you learn that on a windless night, Queensland needs at least 7600 MWh to avoid blackouts.

So, says Kelly, you would therefore need some 380 of these “Big batteries” to get Queensland through just a single windless night.

“And the chances of the ABC reporting these basic facts are zero, because it doesn’t fit their agenda,” Kelly notes.

We hope Craig Kelly can get back in the Federal Parliament with a winnable seat somewhere, because people like him are sorely needed in the political arena.

  1. @Alison quoting Clauser wrote,

    “The popular narrative about climate change reflects a dangerous corruption of science that threatens the world’s economy and the well-being of billions of people,”

    The Trilateral Commission was created in 1973 to usher in the New International Economic Order; Technocratic Enslavement, name it what you like, suggesting that by circa 2030, the needs of the world’s population would outstrip the means of supply of natural resources.

    The Creators employ the services of psychobabble dribbling enforcer fat controllers, to install visions of impending doom in primitive reptilian regions (basal ganglia) of vulnerable Homo brains, by comparing incongruous elements of real known data to selective mathematical computer modelling that is full of unknowns and many variables.

    Sometime around 2000 the computer modelling was revisited (The Corbett Report had a video with a linked source document a while back) and they found their assumptions on supply of natural resources was way off, so like nothing to see here move on punters, tweaked the data and found increasing CO 2 brought the pointer back from the future to 2030.

    It’s like they’re tipping winners to hooked punters from computer selections, but selling them losers.

    They’re full of presumptions and assumptions.

    Being so controlling and wealth driven, I doubt they care too much about their own families, let alone 4 billion or so expendable Homos.

    UN agency UNESCO has published guidelines for governance of digital platforms, stated to be one of the most comprehensive UN consultations ever, boasting more than 10,000 comments from the worlds ~4.7 billion social media users.

    10,000 comments wow, comprehensively whiz bang.

    These egomaniacal enforcer agencies except no legal responsibility for the use of their advice by their enforcer public and opportunistic private punters.

    You might find of interest my comment from a couple of days back, out of sight, out of mind down the list of articles.

  2. I am reading a book by Adele Ferguson entitled “Banking Bad”. I worked in the Commonwealth Bank during the 1960’s before the criminal financial inventions were formulated. That means those involved in the banking, insurance and financial marketing were younger than me. It also means that they never understood maths as I was taught nor had any moral fibre. Making money at other people’s expense was their only compass. So what if caught out. A billion dollar fine for the corporation was nothing if eventually caught out and their customer’s loss of lifetime accumulated assets. Very few of the criminals lost any of their assets to replace that of their clients. They may have had their bonuses and retirement benefits reduced slightly.

    Part of the problem is political. The various politicians are gutless and or have passed back and forth from the financial industries, as with Malcolm Turnbull.

    In recent times there has been no need to be honest. In fact it seems to be a detrimental asset these days. Honesty prevents ladder climbing to a decent goal.

  3. There is no climate emergency, says Climate Intelligence (CLINTEL).
    The winner of the 2022 Nobel Prize in Physics for his work on quantum mechanics, John F. Clauser, has announced he will sign the World Climate Declaration of Clintel — with its central premise that “there is no climate emergency”. Clauser’s decision follows that of Nobel Laureate Dr Ivar Giaever. The number of scientists and experts signing the World Climate Declaration has reached 1,600 to date.

    “The popular narrative about climate change reflects a dangerous corruption of science that threatens the world’s economy and the well-being of billions of people,” said Clauser.

    “Misguided climate science has metastasized into massive shock-journalistic pseudoscience. In turn, the pseudoscience has become a scapegoat for a wide variety of other unrelated ills. It has been promoted and extended by similarly misguided business marketing agents, politicians, journalists, government agencies, and environmentalists. In my opinion, there is no real climate crisis. There is, however, a very real problem with providing a decent standard of living to the world’s large population and an associated energy crisis. The latter is being unnecessarily exacerbated by what, in my opinion, is incorrect climate science.” (coreysdigs.com/technology/skys-the-limit-for-globalists-boiling-earth-narrative/)

  5. After recharging your EV at Chinchilla, keep driving west in for 10 hours and you can recharge at Windorah which offers a round the clock reliable diesel power supply.

    That’s because the town’s Solar Farm colossus of 5 x 13m mirrored dishes built in 2008 at a cost of $4.5m to supply the 100 residents was demolished last month. The publican told me it never worked from the start but not to worry…. Ergon Energy plans to build a new solar farm on the site.

    Don’t ya just luv it 🙂

  6. Those poor silly bastards who got jabbed for a non-existent virus won’t be around in a few years,…

    😊 Yep and the few remaining ones will continue to loyally obey the complicit, mass-murdering government’s ‘Health’ mandates as their zombified, boostarded and clueless relatives and friends drop dead around them; while still calling us dangerous, misinformation spreading antivaxxers etc..

  7. Nicely articulated Tony and you are correct about those with a higher IQ, a flawed test of stupidity. We have found several academics with allegedly high IQ ratings couldn’t organise free ice creams in kindergarden, or as one down-to-earth writer described academia when referring to a prominent, politically appointed climatologist, “….couldn’t organise a jump on pay night in Kalgoorlie…” The media, particularly the ABC only ever quote these intellectually disabled academics notably for dismissing critics of the Covid scamdemic.

  8. Yeah Alan nature has a way of sorting out the best genetic material. Those poor silly bastards who got jabbed for a non-existent virus won’t be around in a few years, unfortunately they vote. Editor

  9. Pat from Vic

    But wait! Now they’re getting ready to spring the NEXT BS fake “pandemic” on us. There’s rumours and allegations of a NEW “contagion” now spreading through China. Get ready for the sold-out treasonous mass-murdering baby-eating arseholes in every Australian fake corporate “government” beauracracy and the walking dead in the TGA and all the hysterical legacy mass media to roll out NEW MANDATES to mask, lockdown, quarantine, terrorise, beat up, shoot, abduct and inject us all to “save” us from Corona Chan Mk II.

    Amen

    And for as long as our dumbed-down, clueless and spineless fellow Australians continue to ignore us, calling us ‘loony right wing conspiracy theorists’ etc., whilst gleefully obeying the treasonous government’s rules: what you’ve stated and much worse is guaranteed to happen. So PATHETIC!

    I always find it ‘comforting’ (for want of a better word?) to read your comments Pat. You’re one of those very few who fully understands the real purpose and strategy of their evil misanthropic mass-extermination agenda and the true depth of their psychopathy and depravity.

  10. The parent article is all about the BS Globalist push to strip the foundations of our society out from under us, folks.

    At the moment they’ve shifted their main focus from the utter BS Corona Chan “pandemic” to the utter BS “Climate Crisis”, where it’s no longer “Global Warming”, now it’s “Global Boiling”.

    And EVERY so-called “solution” to the BS “Climate Crisis” involves our collective emasculation and extermination. No cars for you, no energy for you, no job for you, no money for you, no sunshine or nature for you, no gardens for you, no farms for you, no food for you, no freedom for you, just take your injections and eat ze bugs and fake cancer tumor meat and stay in your “15 Minute City” until you die (ie, when they decide to cull you and turn you into Soylent Green).

    But wait! Now they’re getting ready to spring the NEXT BS fake “pandemic” on us. There’s rumours and allegations of a NEW “contagion” now spreading through China. Get ready for the sold-out treasonous mass-murdering baby-eating arseholes in every Australian fake corporate “government” beauracracy and the walking dead in the TGA and all the hysterical legacy mass media to roll out NEW MANDATES to mask, lockdown, quarantine, terrorise, beat up, shoot, abduct and inject us all to “save” us from Corona Chan Mk II.

    They ALREADY have WAREHOUSES stocked full of the NEW “vaccine” bioweapons ready and raring to go. And did we mention they’re importing NEW armies of shit-for-brains hired corporate mercenary gangstas to impersonate “police” from India RIGHT NOW to ENFORCE the next wave of BS Globalist “pandemic” tyranny? That’s right, folks, they ARE – believe it or not, you’ll see it up close and PERSONAL soon enough.

    And wouldn’t you know (who would have thought?) ALL the solutions to the BS “Pandemic Crisis” are EXACTLY THE SAME as the solutions to the BS “Climate Crisis”.

    Here’s a well-rounded gallery of the games these mass-murdering baby-eating Globalist psychopaths are playing with us…

  11. It’s in the words Build Back Better.

    First they must harvest the rewards of their recently created universal socialism, then destroy their broken fiat system, what better way than use brilliant idiots with tunnel vision, to build back architecture for technologically advanced slavery.

    They’re winners and grinners, they’re the elite fat lady singing, ugly mols, they wear Louis Vuitton, bathe in a sea of vipers, never age on blood and adrenaline, always win, torture the losers, like the fat lady awarded Kohli a consolation prize, for dropping the egg in the kindergarten egg and spoon race last week.

    When Kohli hits a ton and loses again, she’ll appear in the minds of the winners like a delusional hallucination of green shrubbery without need of nitrogen nor CO 2 and in the morning when they wake from their stupor, she will still be a very ugly fat old mol, they’re winners and grinners.

    People with mild autism, a school certificate in their field/s of exceptionalism, a cause and a god complex, from their first intense experience or school programming, have a set opinion of that moment, in reality as everything around that moment changes, they cling to that first experience driven by fear to have to control the changes, eg. because another idiot has arrows and symbols painted on a track or pathway to direct them to ride their bike on the same side and direction as pedestrians are walking, 30 klms/h makes sense around a blind corner, and as for the idiot pedestrians complying with stupid not facing the oncoming traffic, well…the world is full of simple idiots as well as exceptional.

    People of the Spectrum once told that the world will melt will always believe that the world will melt.

    It’s a waste of life’s precious time arguing evidence with exceptionalism.

    And don’t argue with me, ok.

  12. Many CN readers are intimidated by the belief that university graduates are intelligent and knowledgeable. Some are. They are also unemployed.

    Most academics are intellectually dull. If you don’t believe this assertion, google the titles of PhD thesis (Thesii). These will shock you.

    The following article is lifted from Substack oziz4oziz and explains what went terribly wrong in education, then in academia and science. This catastrophe has since infected industrial management, journalism, medicine, teaching, judiciary, police, nursing, and the public service.

    We need to understand the truth to have the confidence to bring this Disneyesque golden calf down and restore normal human cerebral competence to social management and government.

    WHY ACADEMIA IS THE NEW STUPID

    IQ tests were invented by Alfred Binet in the early 1930s at a time when the French were leading the world in their studies of early childhood development (actually, the English-speaking world has yet to catch up).

    Binet invented his IQ test to measure degrees of ‘mental retardation’ in children (the terminology of the time). His colleagues had arranged for abandoned mentally retarded children to be adopted by adults.in a home for mentally retarded adults. All of the children, stimulated by the love and affection bestowed by the adults, went on to live independent lives. Three went to university and one actually received a degree.

    Thus, Binet had created the tests to assist his colleagues measure the children’s cerebral status as accurately as possible.

    Meanwhile, the American Eugenics Society considered these new IQ tests could be useful in demarcating who should live and who should die. An offshoot of their society, the American Association of Psychiatrists, was encouraged to approach Binet. Binet angrily explained that adult human intelligence is not linear and therefore cannot be measured.

    Bad public relations regarding their activities in Nazi Germany forced the Eugenics Society to change their name to Planned Parenthood and Family Planning and visible links between eugenics and psychiatry also were blurred. Later observers felt the psychiatrists should have been more interested in the startling French research revealing links between love and affection and intelligence development but this was not to be.

    Both schools of thought, eugenics and psychiatry, rejected Binet’s assessment and IQ tests were developed by applying the cerebral profiles of the psychiatrists at the theoretical peak of the intellectual spectrum, with practical people in the middle, and inferior humans at 100 points and below.

    Not surprisingly, the passage of time revealed that the high IQ individuals were markedly unproductive, which was explained away by classing such considerations as the value judgement of people whose priorities matched their intelligence quotient: therefore irrelevant. Catch 22 had been invented.

    With the formation of Mensa, it was assumed that the amalgamation of the most intelligent individuals in the world would rapidly solve all of humanity’s problems. Unexpectedly, it was found that, not only could they not find any meaningful consensus, they were unable to organise an efficient meeting in which to document their brilliance.

    More down-to-earth thinkers have since confirmed Binet’s conclusion: that human intelligence is metaphorically global in shape, commencing as a speck sometime during embryonic development and expanding outward with the accumulation of experiences. They also considered intellectual balance to be more important; ergo, a person whose generalist range of experiences caused his sphere of intelligence to expand equidistant from its centre, would be better able to communicate with other people and to apply his knowledge evenly across the full range of problematic situations. In a word: balance.

    They finally concluded that the only credible measure of intelligence is productivity.

    The global shrinks, being innately elitist, rejected this as scientifically inconvenient. Supported by other elitists, they inflicted their IQ test on global education practices and commenced streaming children and adults into preordained futures; careers, status, and incomes.

    The elitist movement exploded in influence and has taken over the world.

    Unsurprisingly, the outcome of this insanity has not been good. The gap between rich and poor is now vast, and the middle class has disappeared. There have never been more wars.

    People who, in saner times, would have been regarded as harmless eccentrics and idiots, now grace their titles with PhDs. The popular people are awarded doctorates, even when they are manifesty mediocre in logic. The stupid and the sociopathic, both compulsively delusional, have coalesced to rule the world; supported in this blindly by the aristocracy who are also elitist.

    People who are high performers and producers are typically of “middle IQ range”, which debunks the very concept of IQ. Nevertheless, universities and science institutes reject all criticism with the unassailable logic “we are more intelligent”. They have morphed into bastions of ideology more reminiscent of dogmatic religions, and many academics have had to be hastily silenced by their faculties for suggesting the actual execution of scientific heretics and non-believers.

    This schism has come to the fore in the intensely repressive debates of anthropogenic global warming, digital currencies, PCR tests, mRNA vaccinations, banning of HCL and Ivermectin, the application of Remdesivir and embracing of WOKE. This repression has now encompassed doctors, medical bureaucrats, politicians, and the general public.

    All discussion and debate, the benchmarks of science, are now replaced by dogma, with dissenting doctors deregistered, and some state medical officers assassinated. Members of the public have been beaten and arrested, sacked from their jobs, and many harassed into suicide.

    This is a tune that started with IQ tests and eugenics and appears to be finishing on the same two notes.

    The leaders of elitism and eugenics are showcases for their philosophy: Klaus Schwarb, Bill Gates; Anthony Fauci, Jacinda Adern, and Justin Trudeau. Few people have ever inspired such disgust and contempt in humanity.

  13. Some disconsolate drivel from dimwit Bowen as reported in ‘The Age’ newspaper.. just to add insult to injury.

    – Climate Change Minister Chris Bowen says Australia is already closing in on its 2030 emissions reduction target, despite environment groups’ claims that support for fossil fuels is undercutting the nation’s green ambitions.

    The annual Climate Change Statement, which Bowen will formally respond to in parliament on Thursday, shows Australia is on track to cut greenhouse emissions by 42 per cent below 2005 levels by 2030 – just shy of Labor’s 43 per cent target. This is an improvement on last year’s projections which had Australia tracking for a 40 per cent reduction.

  14. Why did Australia sell itself out…? We could be completely independent yet we are closing our energy sector down, our agriculture, our manufacturing… Our government is not working for us any more. Is the place out in the desert?

    We are completely controlled by foreign powers, one in particular, and we need to release those shackles or we will go down the same toilet this foreign power is going down in due time.

  15. The CoVID Regime of the United [Communist] Nations and its corporate pretenders to the Commonwealth Gov’t of Australia has a deliberate UN policy (Agenda 2030) to wreck the Australian economy in terms of energy and supply chains of food and basic necessities.

    They are building mini- gulags of 15 minute cities for the population. Gaza is the model here. They are importing a work force that will implement their system over the Australian people.

  16. All distractions, folks, using up all our mojo squabbling over what they’re doing to us while they go right ahead and do it to us anyway.

    Meanwhile, they’re stripping our industry and energy and economy and households of viability and sustainability and liveability. Getting us all ready for efficient enslavement and extermination.

    CO2 is plant food, folks. And plants exhale Oxygen.

    Australia has enough coal to serve our own energy needs for 1,000 years. Yet we’re being ground down into the gutter to starve and eat ze bugs while we export all our coal to China and India.

    Australia also happens to have 40% of the planet’s known Uranium reserves. And we export Australian Uranium all over the world but any form of nuclear power here in Australia is verbotten, a mortal sin against the iron-fisted Greenie ideology.

    Can’t have any of that, can we? So paradox of paradoxes, irony of ironies, the Australian people “enjoy” the most EXPENSIVE energy on the planet, and it’s getting worse by the week.

    And meanwhile, if we want to hitch a ride on the hysterical renewable energy wagon, REAL dirt cheap environmentally harmless and eminently scalable renewables – gravity engines and LENRs and Bedini tech and MEGs and exotic Stirling cycle tech – are ALL kept secret and denied to us.

    We don’t even have to mess with Zero Point Energy to enjoy abundant cheap energy. Not that even THAT would ever be permitted by our fake corporate “governments” anyway.

    The time is fast approaching when handymen boffins are going to have to get innovative. For all those unsung domestic geniuses out there, mark well – “Freely have ye received, therefore give freely”.

  17. Dennis

    but apparently they are still not much good at simple maths or common sense.

    It might appear tat way Dennis however they’re a lot smarter than most people think.
    This kind of ridiculous totally useless ‘clean green’ alternative energy nonsense is all part of the UN’s 2030 Sustainable Development Agenda, which is an ingenious plan to deindustrialize Western society in effort to destroy the global economy and impoverish us all under their totalitarian, centrally governed regime; by stealth.
    IOW: it’s deliberately and meticulously planned to make the plebes think they’re idiots, and for those that actually believe the ‘climate crisis’ boondoggle is real: they think they’re saving the planet by allowing these humanity loathing monsters to take away their freedom and God-given human rights and control every aspect of their useless lives. So, with Saint Greta’s blessings they cheer it on and glue themselves to the road, destroy priceless works of art and other activities that will save humanity from the now toxic climate those horrible, selfish humans destroyed with their desire for freedom and prosperity… 🤦‍♂️

    It’s a ruse a rather ingenious ploy and most of you have fallen for it. They want you to believe they’re scientifically illiterate, brainless luddites to divert your attention away from what they’re actually doing right before your eyes: DESTROYING our society and whole way of life by pretending to ‘save the planet’ with these patently USELESS ‘clean green’ energy alternatives. such as this massive JOKE in Chinchilla. They all KNOW full well these alternatives are utterly useless and could NEVER provide reliable and affordable electric power even to a small village, let alone a largely populated, industrialized society. These useless contraptions however, can and WILL guarantee the total collapse of all industry and the economy.
    That’s why they want them and encourage their proliferation with generous subsidies and other economy destroying expensive incentives.
    Remember: All of our treasonous governments are subservient to a gang of humanity loathing oligarchs in the UN and Davos, NOT us. They only wish to destroy us not help us prosper, or facilitate more freedom.

  18. The more I learn about ‘renewables’ the more I’m convinced it is another scam from the unelected and perpetuated by those who have no understanding of logic or commonsense!
    From dimwit Bowen (who doesn’t have a clue) to Airbus Albo (who can’t be bothered with ‘details’) we have a Govt who is determined to stick with their green fantasy and refuses to look at reality and ruin which is obvious to most of us!

  19. The leaders of all Western Governments are mostly produced out of University culture and qualifications…..but apparently they are still not much good at simple maths or common sense.
