Large transmission towers are not brought down by high winds. They are brought down by a lack of inspections and no maintenance when problems are discovered.
An F5 tornado will definitely bring down transmission towers but in the context of recent events I tend to agree with you. It was windy that day but not "that" bad, although I am about 60km away from where it happened so maybe it was MUCH worse there but I just dont think it seems that likely. We would need to know the wind speed they are rated to and the local wind speeds to know for sure though.
As he speaks here is the Fuel source of power generated in victoria; (12:30) Battery 0 MW 0% Brown coal 2,221 MW 66% Gas 477 MW 14% Hydro 1 MW 0% Solar 557 MW 17% Wind 93 MW 3% Yesterday it was the Gas generators that were ramped up and were producing 35% If Loy Yang B gets hit with an overload we're dead in the water. The Gas plants just don't have enough capacity to cover the load. So we drop to 80% of the state without power, then overnight 97% blacked out. Luckily we have a interconnected grid so the above won't happen, but if it wasn't for the coal plants in NSW and QLD and the interconnects it would.
Another little FACT: Right now (13:44 15/02/24) Loy Yang A still not back online however Victoria is EXPORTING energy to South Australia AND Tasmania! BOTH reliant on Renewables. 164 MW to SA on interconnect V-S-MNSP1 almost 25% of their Demand and 443 MW to Tas on interconnect T-V-MNSP1 almost half of their Demand BUT we are also IMPORTING 450 MW from NSW Both Vic and NSW are the only states generating more than Demand. BOTH have Coal power plants, SA and Tas do not. Just an aside, QLD usually also generated more than Demand and exports to NSW who usually does not. again QLD has Coal plants.
Truth Sir. Never let reality get in the way of the renewables religion. This renewables nonsense must be stopped for the sake of the country. If not coal then it must be nuclear, nothing else can generate the GW required when and where we need it and independent of the weather or state of battery storage.
To think that I left South Africa because of all the black-out's there. However, Australia's electricity supply is still much better than it could ever be in SA. I have never seen a single black-out during my 16 years here in Australia.
I was for ten years an inspector inside refineries and power plants and some of those places were in desperate need of repairs. One refinery in the Galveston Texas area was so bad, a friend of mine was hand scraping paint off of a pipe and his scraper went through the steel it was so corroded. He got sprayed with some bad chemicals and died a few months later. This particular plant had been bought by a Chinese company and they weren't willing to dump any more money into this investment, until they paid off their debt. So, it later exploded and they probably got an insurance payout.

Well boys and girls you wanted cheaper power so kick out the governmently run power stations So suffer . Ps even if the power station was operating the Power not get to the city as the powerlines are laying on the ground . Short Circuit it is called. If melbourne had opted for a battery you would still have power . Just like the people who have solar and batteries .
Poor storyline. If the power lines are down, it wouldn’t matter what power source you have. I have warned of a Carrington events, as a possibility. If a person is able they should set themselves up with a ‘personal’ system, which would enable themselves to get through a time like this. Enough battery power to run their fridges, freezers, air conditioners, and bio-mass heaters. Enough to keep them comfortable as they need to be to survive. Not as much as they need to be comfortable. This would take a big load off the grid and save them $$$.
Personal system? In this day and age? Are you kidding me? The most inefficient way to generate electricity. Waste of money and resources. Batteries are for kids toys, power tools and expensive city EVs, they lack the specific energy needed to be a true alternative to coal and oil. The solution, as it always has been is to have sufficient baseload generation to cover outages. Want it zero emissions? Then tick the GW class nuclear power station box. Otherwise you’re stuck with coal. Hydroelectric where possible and maybe even geothermal. But nuclear is the most efficient.
We need a wind turbine in every back yard and solar panels on every roof. That’ll solve the problem. We don’t need coal, China and India can have it all for their power stations.
No, it'll create more problems, because they will need to build even more coal fired power stations to manufacture those wind turbines and solar panels you're talking about... In perpetuity. Not to mention backyard wind turbines falling on top of people's houses. Yeh, great idea mate.
@@rogueelement8831damn the people and their houses, we’re saving the planet, don’t you understand. We need to do it even if it means destroying the planet first.
DAMN RITA ALMOST CHOKED ON **SEVERE STORMS** BROUGHT DOWN POWER LINES AND TRANSMISSION TOWERS Are you sure it wasn't **Black Out Bowen** that did it with his renewable energy policy. 😂😂😂😂😂
Is quite a serious issue isn't it. Because it now raises questions about the design of the power disturbition infrastructure. Which i did suggest i thought we solved, that the solar roofing was the way forward here. So that some homes can maintain power. in the event power went out and somebody needed to contact someone, for health reasons or what. Doctor or prescription it would be quite important that they could charge their device or what not.
This is gross criminal negligence and governments must stand trial.
Thank you Labor for exposing what the future will look like under a foreign run Labor government.
Australia becoming South Africa when it comes to delivering electricity and we (NZ) are next.
All by design.

Apparently they weren't up to spec when erected.
and not upgrading to new engineering standards as recommended by engineers, but which the Vic govt ignored because they knew better.

No internet either.
Love to see how many of these rich areas/ suburbs were out of power during this load shedding during that outage?
Camberwell (posh) in Melbourne is still out. 3pm today

Why do these people always show cooling towers at power stations ,witch do not emit pollution ,it is WATER VAPER only ,

Jeff Kennett privatised the SECV - 'the free market takes care of everything' ?

He and she should talk about Australia's sdgs issues. If you want to convasation privately, you should open a private channel.
How are they going to go, with severe storms, which happen every year, when there are ten times the transmission towers! 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

what happens when polititians homes dont have power are they imuned
In mirboo they have a diesel powered generator running next to the ev charging station lol
Instead of running of to Bunnings to buy a cheap Chinese generator every time the.power fails or hiring one buy your own one me and my father have
Your solar panel uptick will be very low because you're always covered with chemtrail clouding

All planned
Roof solar will only work when there is mains power hooked up and working, OR you have put in your own batteries and are independent.
