How will Victoria manage through the next winter? Promises don't provide warmth.
This winter has been up to now cool but not bad at all. WE have promises from our esteemed leaders of lower living costs-Rubbish, lower power & energy costs-Rubbish again. Why can't our woke, greens ,idealists tell us the truth? The promise of renewable energy by 2030 is absolute garbage. For a start we need to construct or build 10,000kms of transmission towers and cables across the country, yet the best average estimate is maybe 600 kms year! Budgets that will be mind blowing....but what does it matter if you make a promise and then go out of government leaving the responsibility to the opposition, who will be desperately attempting to clear some of our ongoing deficit?
We have been managing very nicely for decades... although the greens would have us believe we are a menace to civilisation, yet I do not see them protesting in China ....we are around the 1% mark-China is the biggest, followed by the USA then India. I know, every cut back on carbon emissions is good -but not if we destroy living conditions we pride ourselves on. The image above is Loy Yang Power Station in the Latrobe Valley. the cooling towers emit steam, the brown coal still being mined for a short time is being sold to the biggest polluters as we pay for solar and wind that will be far more expensive and cannot supply what we have had....it's like cutting off your nose despite your face.
The open cut will be regenerated for timber production from plantations another asset we need.
ExxonMobil has been instructed to dismantle Bass Strait platforms, cutting back our oil and gas production....we have it all and should be a world power, a leader in energy and fuel, cleaner futures for our communities instead we rely on a grid supply coming from elsewhere, yet we send our resources overseas
including bauxite, iron ore, brown coal, natural gas, we have it all....and we are only just mentioning 'nuclear' because the vision that comes to mind with most peoples is a catastrophe!.....When will be take responsibility for US for our future and get real? Everyday I get frustrated but some recognise our minerals and resources.... but that's another agenda we need to wake up to, these people recognise an ongoing income stream from rent! Look at what's happening in Queensland .....it's "our land always was always will be, for all Australians".

Let's think about what's happening all around us.....I for one do now second guess my decisions, as I'm sure many of you would too? Many lines have been lost the cost and sadness involved with so many businesses & families is unfathomable. I am sick and tired of people telling me how I'm a gullible fool for heeding the government directives...."in the end we'll all get the dreaded disease"!
So many bad vibes on social media, it's no wonder the vocal minority win in the end, so many people afraid to actually say what they think and not fearing a troll type reprisal....it's supposed to be a free country!!
