Jo. Nova. Flinders Island is in the Bass Strait North of Tasmania. If there is a heaven for renewables, this island should be it. But instead, even on Flinders Island, renewables arent cheaper than diesel generators. This is a dismal reality, yet the ABC promotes it as a fantasy poster isle, interviewing only vested or no idea people, asking no critical questions, doing no counter research and telling us renewables will be more reliable and implying they are cheaper too. The ABC is a three million dollar a day advertising outlet for other government agencies. Instead of serving Australians it appears to be there to help shake down the taxpayer. ABC renewables hype strikes again Rhiannon Shine reports Flinders Island as a showcase of the brave new renewables world. Lets translate that spin and see just how pathetic it is. If anywhere was going to be totally renewable, Flinders Island would be it a first world island, tiny population, massive subsidies, no access to cheap coal or gas power, government support at every level and placed in a handy wind stream known as the Roaring Forties. Yeah This is one of the last places in the first world short of Antarctic stations where renewables might make sense. Ferrgoodnessake they have to ship their diesel in. The ABC tells us The Flinders Island Hub is becoming a showcase of the technology. The real story here is that it will only theoretically be 6. No one will be farewelling diesel at all, except maybe on a few theoretical orgasmic days sometime. Even after this up and coming next leap, diesel will be the most reliable energy source on the island, still providing 4. If this is showcase, I say Is that itCheck out the disconnect here. The propaganda Flinders Island going for green with renewable energy hub, farewells dirty diesel A Tasmanian island is about to swap fossil fuel for renewable energy as its major power source. The reality Flinders has a population of 7. Sometime in the vague future, on a few days they might even switch off the diesels. Bowl. me. Over. In December, Hydro Tasmania will flick the switch over to its Hybrid Energy Hub, which will enable the island to be powered by 6.

Serfs can see the priorities for three layers of governments right here Emissions reductions, Yes, Price reduction, No. They can also see ABC priorities the first person interviewed sorry, parroted, with no hard questions is an employee of a government run renewable energy company Hydro Tasmania hybrid energy solutions manager Ray Massie said the project would reduce emissions by 6. This will reduce emissions down to about 4. The use of diesel is a large expense. The overall price for their electricity wont be going down but it will put pressure on future prices. People on Flinders paying bills will be glad to know that their future cheque books are feeling less pressure. That must be a great relief. Is this the most desperate spin attempt prices wont go down, but hypothetically, possibly one day in the indefinite future they might.

Whats an enabling technology Who knows But it has been modularized. We have modularised the enablers and we have used the platform of shipping containers, Mr Massie said. But wait Renewables will be more reliable More reliable than what, exactlybased on the King Island results, Flinders Islands power supply would become significantly more reliable. So based on a different island which had a lot of blackouts, things could get betterHow many blackouts has Flinders Island had Dont ask. Not stated. Who knows When will they really say Farewell to dieselThe islanders have an ambition for 1. It is fully feasible to achieve 1. Wait for it Deputy mayor Marc Cobham said the goal could be achieved through the adoption of tidal energy. Are they serious TidalTidal Nowhere in the world runs on tidal energy. The projects come, they break. Tidal must be one of the most mechanically unfriendly ideas in the world massive forces, coming from many angles, it only runs 1. Its legendary for its failures like the British 1. MILLION tidal energy scheme that lasted just three months. Deputy mayor Marc Cobham thinks tidal is plug and play The beauty of the system that Hydro have put in is that when a wave tidal generation is developed more, this is a perfect location and the system will allow that to just plug in, he said. Rhianna Shine, ABC investigator doesnt ask if this is realistic. She didnt ask a skeptic to comment. She didnt interview an engineer which did not work for a renewables group. A Tourist Bureau guy thinks renewables will fit the Islands clean green branding. Shine doesnt ask him if tidal barrages or giant underwater blades that slice wildlife are also clean and green. There is an intellectual quagmire in here. Spot the contradictions In the no hard questions ABC, journalists must be trained to ignore the most obvious problems and thread an Orwellian counter meme of cost reductions through a story where the one promise made by an official is that renewables wont reduce the overall price. Hydro Tasmania hybrid energy solutions manager Ray Massie said the project would put downward pressure on future power prices. The overall price for their electricity wont be going down but it will put pressure on future prices. We would like 1. Anything that reduces the overall cost from a long term point of view is a positiveTheres one mention that costs wont come down, and four implied suggestions that costs are a problem that renewables can solve. No wonder Australians are confused, and think renewables might be cheaper. If renewables cant provide cheaper electricity on a small windy island with no cheap competitor, where can it compete Robert Rosicka. Map Wikimedia by Chuq. VN F 1. 9. 2. 21. Rating 9. 71. 0 8.
