The logic of the Iron Triangle of Power Supply signals that there must be a continuous delivery of power to the grid to meet demand. Ignore the peaks of wind and…

Support Jeff Grimshaw, taking on the Green Blob Matt Kean for the seat of Hornsby in the NSW election. As the east coast of Australia stares down the barrel of blackouts and brown outs, with an electricity grid on the verge of imploding, the NSW Government continues to charge towards the precipice of an energy disaster.…
