@@terryquarton2523 Yes that is an issue. Clean coal technologies exist that include supercritical steam units for pulverised coal-fired power plants, high efficiency electrostatic precipitators, flue gas desulferisation processes, combustion modification and selective catalytic reduction (SCR), and atmospheric fluidized-bed combustion (AFBC). These can significantly reduce air pollution from coal thermal station emissions. Who makes the investment is the question.
What a waste of land solar panels will not be enough same for wind farms. Australia has enough coal for over a thousand years, just need to build more efficient coal power stations
New generation coal fired power stations. No need for 28,000 kilometres of new transmission lines or destroying over 2 million Hectares of flors and fauna.
Australian thinking is regressive, because we don't have enough people here with foresight and intelligence. We're electing morons like Miles to lead a state, who's never worked in the private sector, and has a PhD in Unionism. What a load of crap.

At last, the penny has dropped. What Chris is describing is what I call the "shadow generation system". When there is no wind and no sun the system needs 100% backup. Building two separate generation systems is ludicrously expensive (batteries are even worse). At any one time one system is sitting there doing nothing but investors still expect a return on their capital invested. That is what is driving up electricity costs.
Wind and solar are non-dispatchable, non-synchronous generation systems. A 24hr renewable grid is twice the price of coal or even gas with CCS included. The CSIRO is deliberately deceptive with its cost estimates for transmission systems.
Broken hill was a perfect example of why we need base load power for stability… With very limited inertia in the islanded situation a small fault was bringing down the system time and time again…
Without cheap reliable energy delivery Australia will become even more of an innovation/technology backwater (for instance AI data centres require large amounts of energy) subject to black and brown outs. Insanely costly slow motion train wreck.
How else is the government and energy companies suppose to steal every last penny you have? The best way to beat them at that game is to switch off your main build and setup up your own solar power. No more money for them.
Yes, all true, but the cost of power production per kwh will skyrocket, so the percentage based profits will go through the roof. Who;ll benefit from that I wonder?
Solar panels - solar batteries - electric windmills - are intermittent forms of energy production - not base line power load. They only work when the sun shines and the wind blows. And they are good for someone who lives in an isolated place. Where electricity is to costly - to pay for - or to bring power to your property - is far to expensive. And the basic test here is. Labor never bothered to read the operating instructions. The little book with fine print. Pays to read - the do's and do not list. This policy is going to be major - mess. The right idea - should have been - a plan for a household - if the people wanted - to save on their electricity bill. A certain type of inverter - with so many solar panels - with so many solar batteries. Will give you - almost total self sufficiency from main power. And there are Australian made solar inverters - that do all the switching automatically. What has ruined these inverters. Is what labor wont tell you. That they can access your inverter and switch it off - exporting to the power grid. Without telling you - when they switch it off. You wont know - it's not exporting electricity. What no-one considers. Is you only get 8 cents a kilolwatt hour for the electricity you export. If you - have a self contained Solar hybrid system. Where the solar panels - during the day recharge your solar batteries - and run your house. And at night the solar batteries - run your house. You can pretty much eliminate the grid power. And you have power when storms take out the power grid. And the other thing is - this same Australian made inverter. You can program in how much of the batteries - you access. Now you see all sorts of claims about solar batteries. Go to the discharge - sheet on the specifications of a solar battery. Things like lead carbon - solar batteries - are the best of the non lithium solar battery technology. And then you look at depth of discharge - versus - battery life. So if you program your inverter to only take 30% of the battery storage - which if you have enough batteries will run your house overnight. Then cross reference that to the number of discharges. You will get a battery life of around - 15 years. So at 30% discharge - for 10,000 cycles. Divide that number by 365 days of the year - gives you how many years - your batteries should last. And also leave on your mains power supply - electric hot water - electric oven and cook top - because they demand high rate of power quickly - they will fry your batteries - or shorten their life very quickly. Kettles - microwave - toaster are fine on solar batteries. Things like induction cook top - 1200 watt per coil - you put on two or more cooking spots on your induction cook top - you are at 2400 - 3600 - 4800 watts - that chews power - very quickly. What you have to be careful about is battery chemistry. Lithium - does cause fires. And you have seen the ads on television - to check if you have certain brands - you have a huge fire risk. And the claims - about battery life and how much you can discharge a battery - is all sales talk. Go read the discharge rates. And pay close attention to the DEPTH of discharge rates - if you - increase the discharge to 100% - you wont get long out of a set of solar batteries. So battery system sizing - is very important. So depth of discharge - affects battery life - massively. What did they say at Broken Hill. A $47 million dollar solar battery can't run Broken hill for more then ONE HOUR. A female engineer in Canada - who works on net zero projects said. You could build a $27 Billion dollar solar battery outside a major Canadian city - and you could not run the city for more then TWO HOURS. And if they are going 100% discharge - those batteries wont last very long at all. Again - do your due diligence. What has wrecked the solar hybrid inverter - and now international makers of such inverters have pulled out. Is the government owned power providers - demand - they cannot sell - a solar inverter - including the ones that convert - DC to AC current or the power coming off your solar panels - UNLESS they have access to all the software programs. So they can see how they are written - and how they can manipulate the software. And certain companies - have said - you don't need access to that software. And have simply walked off - out of the Australian market. And guess what - if you don't hand over your software - you can't sell your inverter in Australia. Also look out for legislation where labor will try - to make it - you will also be locked out of house wiring system - from the meter box to the power point. They will want to close off that - if they see falling demand for mains electricity. And this not only affects the home owner. Small business that use electricity during the day - prefer to power their own business of solar panels - rather then export - will also be affected. There's a lot of lies - that labor is hiding. And most consumers are not told this. If your solar panels run your house during the day - and solar batteries run your house most of the night - the inverter - can switch automatically - based on - how you program it 1. Solar panels power your house - first. 2. No solar power - solar batteries power your house. 3. No solar or battery power - go to mains grid power - as last resort. If you run that sort of system. You eliminate the cost of electricity - at well over 30 cents a kilowatt hour. So it's better to eliminate your power bill - then export electricity. And what they can't do - is interfere with your electricity supply - after your meter box. They control the power to your meter box and meters. If you use the solar hybrid system - it simply integrates - your power supply with mains grid power supply - and uses the mains power grid electricity - as a back up power supply system. Not as your main supplier of electricity. The systems you are sold - are export only. The trick to this is - build a solar hybrid system - that runs your house - most of the time. What labor overlooked - was to go away and talk to engineers - and work out the best system design - that reduced the demand for base power load. All labor is talking about is the WEF and U.N. 2030 project. And you also have to look at the dumb bunnies in labor - who fell for this rubbish. But hey - that's labor - they always refuse to listen to anyone - who knows something. Which in their case is everyone in the labor party.
But, But, But....we are the "cleva country" seem to remember selling gas to japan for years at a fixed price, 26c rings a bell? we have much more gas than we need but a definite shortage if intelligent politicians.

Well you are generally right. I installed a 6.6kw solar panels, with a 5kw inverter and a 9.6kw battery pack. I run the house all day on my solar panels and inverter, and at night the batteries kick in and run my house on battery power My biggest sucker of power is my oven, it draws 2.3kw at 180 degrees, so i can cook anything and when done my battery has dropped from 100% down to 87% so have more than enough power for night time, tv, video, fridge, etc etc. Duty cycles are important as the duty cycle of a fridge is around 30%. So that is not a problem. When the fridge comes on my consumption is only 415watts, so that is minimal useage. I cam run 3 days on my battery, but i have had a 100% charge every day as the panels/inverter charges the battery bank as the inverter is hybrid, with a charger on board. What i am getting on about is for people to do the maths, see what power you need, when you need it and how often and work from that. Many simply rely on these so called experts, hahaha. There is so much info on the internet now you dont need to be an electrical engineer, lucky I am so was pretty easy for me.
@@andymartinez767bro your house is not the same as an advanced economy. Let me guess, you don't manufacture goods out of your house, which have to compete with other houses around the world that also manufacture goods? 🤦♂️
As an experienced Electrical Engineer, this guy is 100% correct. I've been saying it for many years, but sadly our energy policy is dictated by numpties who don't know the difference between a megawatt and a megawatt-hour.
Electrical Engineer here The least expensive form of electricity is from hydroelectric power plants, less than 1 cent a kilowatt-hour. Solar and wind power are the second least expensive at less than 2 cents a kilowatt-hour by 2030 less than one cent a kilowatt-hour. Coal and natural gas power are the third least expensive at 6 cents a kilowatt-hour. Nuclear power weather fission or fusion are the most expensive form of electricity at 10 cents kilowatt-hour. Fusion power really does work today, sometimes called cold fusion, but it is not politically acceptable. Scaling up cold fusion power plants are much cheaper to build and much safer with no nuclear waste to deal with. But cold fusion power plants will still be more expensive than coal and natural gas power plants. Cold fusion powered super-sized cruise ships and super-sized ships for shipping containers, oil and LNG ships would greatly benefit global shipping. Why I prefer solar and wind power along with some battery backup. Solar and wind power are what we call intermittent or veritable power supplies. Opponents of solar and wind power often refer to it as expensive and unreliable. But the electrical engineers know the truth. There is a mathematical formula used to make reliable solar and wind power along with battery storage. In each metropolitan area, you need to know the peak power consumption. In wind power I prefer floating offshore wind turbines because wind power offshore is stronger and more consistent than onshore wind. When offshore wind turbines are spread out over a wide geographic area intermittent and veritable power output are greatly reduced. There is a statistic known as capacity factor. Onshore land-based wind turbines capacity factor in the best locations is 33%. This means that a land- based wind turbine only produces on average 33% of the name plate capacity of the wind turbine. A GE 3.6-megawatts land-based wind turbine only produces an average of 1.188 megawatts of electricity. The exact same GE 3.6-megawatt wind turbine on a floating offshore platform has a capacity factor of 67%. This means that exact same GE wind turbine will produce 2.412 megawatts of electricity. But offshore floating wind turbine has one big trick. An offshore floating wind turbine can scale up to 48 megawatts with a capacity factor of 67% so your average power output is 32.160 megawatts. Offshore wind turbine fan blades are max at 200 meters long. No land-based wind turbine can scale up this large. Your average metropolitan area uses 3 gigawatts of electricity peak consumption. When taking capacity factor into account to a have reliable source of electricity you need 4 to 5 times greater electricity from floating wind turbines than peak power consumption. 4 48 megawatts offshore wind turbines per week manufacturing on a dry dock than towed to sea and connecting the electrical and fiber optical cables. Less than ten years Australia will have more electricity than it can use. 18 hours of batteries storage will be needed at the power substation level. Every 11 and 22 years there will be a very brief loss of power no matter how many floating offshore wind turbines you have online. Meaning Australia needs a national electric grid. Living here in the United States every week I can see and measure the reliability of having a national electric grid. Backup batteries will keep the power grid stable during such events. Solar power and battery backup on all homes, and commercial building rooftops parking lot canopies and deserts will greatly stabilize the power grid. Of course, solar power with backup batteries must be 4 to 5 times greater than peak power consumption. This will be the lowest cost and reliable electricity for Australia. An offshore floating wind turbine will last over 50 years. Keep in mind a floating wind turbine can be rebuilt and refurbished, and it will last another 50 years repair in a drydock. Every 20 years the bearings will be replaced, and an oil change every year for the latest single bearing wind turbine. Capital costs are included in the rates with a 10-year mortgage. Mortgage and maintenance costs are included in the rate base. There will be no rate increase with wind solar power with battery backup. It’s the rate payers really pay for the capital cost. Rate payers are the collateral and paying for the mortgage or capital cost. Choosing nuclear power will be a big increase electricity rates for rate payers’ years before nuclear power plants construction starts. The permitting process will be about 5 years and construction time 10 years. Maybe twice or 4-times the rate increase before any nuclear power plant produces its first kilowatt to the grid. Would you pay $2.00 a gallon or $10.00 a gallon for gasoline I would rather pay $2.00 a gallon for gasoline.
Join the dots, Ken. Check the NEM and AEMO statistics. The NEM is dead if they dont shut down the coal plants. Nothing to do with environment, pure economics. Grid electricity is in a death spiral due to poor government policy in the 00s, causing the rise of rooftop PV to the point where daytime demand for electricity is near negative. EVs were meant to be the saviour of the grid, but it looks like they just don't work for Australia.
What else could people expect, all Political Parties too proud to talk this over then ask the Australian Citizens to choose, as long as the truth was explained. A very simple way of solving and starting any programme.
No one ever talks about who is going to clean all these solar panels. They lose a lot of efficiency when they are covered in dust or bird droppings.🤷♂️
It is the norm, when someone talks about coal, gas and solar energy, to be reminded by a message underneath the video, that global warming is an absolute truth. On this occasion, why has such a message absent?
you need to do a story on how a electricity bill is made from its individual components. The energy component is small compared to the rest. The bill = Tuos + Duos + retail + energy. Tuos and duos are "Use of System" components for transmission and distribution networks and are regulated on the return to the owner. The more networks built the higher those components are and they are the bulk of a bill. The renewable build drives up both transmission and distribution spend and that goes straight into your bill.
The recent example shows that renewables are not able to stand alone as I have been saying all along Broken Hill has solar wind and a battery… But without grid connection and a stable supply all renewables are useless We should learn from this unfortunate situation and re direct our energy futures At present we are speeding towards a major disaster!
The best thing is that if the coal plants aren't eventually all shut down, then the NEM will collapse because of rooftop PV. Nothing to do with global warming or environmentalism, just simple economics. Minimum demand just keeps going lower and lower and lower and thr electricity prices just keep getting higher and higher and higher. Its pretty simple to understand whats going on.
Just look what happened in broken hill we have the solar the wind and the battery and still had no power without the diesel Generator running. Renewable energy is a con
We have already seen the results of the rush into renewables by energy companies with the Broken Hill blackouts Transgrids rush onto renewables saw it caught with its pants down ,Transgrid neglected maintenance on its backup Diesel Generator ,the batteries were unable to cope with the demand The one-operating diesel generator was operating at a reduced capacity of 14 MW (instead of 25 MW) and the 50 MW, 50 MWh battery was restricted to a maximum 11 MW because of the difficulties in keeping it in sync with the diesel generator Energy SYSTEMS are struggling with the variability and output of rooftop solar, and local homes were asked to shut them down (if they knew how to do that safely) The big wind and solar farms located in the region have become notoriously weak parts of the grid, resulting in their heavy restrictions. The big question now about the green energy transition is not about the technology, but whether the regulatory processes, the rules, and grid management protocols are fit for purpose. Transgrid has neglected the maintenance and replacement of aging transmission towers leaving them vulnerable to storm damage that we saw
Nuclear power plants should be legalised in this country. My understanding as a scientist is that the carbon dioxide emissions from fossil fuels are actually beneficial. We should simply use the most economical energy resources available.
Solar is the best for daytime demand. Battery can store the energy for night time demand. Other sources can fill the gap. Don't politice that solar energy because Elon will not be happy. lol
We can't afford our own gas after lil Johny Howard gave it away, we miss out on about 170 billion in royalties every year but instead we get 3 billion. That's the problem. Give us our fair share of $$ for our resources and we would be the richest country in the world

So that is not a problem. When the fridge comes on my consumption is only 415watts, so that is minimal useage.
I cam run 3 days on my battery, but i have had a 100% charge every day as the panels/inverter charges the battery bank as the inverter is hybrid, with a charger on board.
What i am getting on about is for people to do the maths, see what power you need, when you need it and how often and work from that. Many simply rely on these so called experts, hahaha. There is so much info on the internet now you dont need to be an electrical engineer, lucky I am so was pretty easy for me.
@@andymartinez767bro your house is not the same as an advanced economy.
Let me guess, you don't manufacture goods out of your house, which have to compete with other houses around the world that also manufacture goods? 🤦♂️
@@talbotdentureclinic9123Correct you cannot run a Aluminium smelter on batteries!!!
As an experienced Electrical Engineer, this guy is 100% correct. I've been saying it for many years, but sadly our energy policy is dictated by numpties who don't know the difference between a megawatt and a megawatt-hour.
Not only expensive but the redundancy built in is ridiculous.
Electrical Engineer here
The least expensive form of electricity is from hydroelectric power plants, less than 1 cent a kilowatt-hour. Solar and wind power are the second least expensive at less than 2 cents a kilowatt-hour by 2030 less than one cent a kilowatt-hour. Coal and natural gas power are the third least expensive at 6 cents a kilowatt-hour. Nuclear power weather fission or fusion are the most expensive form of electricity at 10 cents kilowatt-hour. Fusion power really does work today, sometimes called cold fusion, but it is not politically acceptable. Scaling up cold fusion power plants are much cheaper to build and much safer with no nuclear waste to deal with. But cold fusion power plants will still be more expensive than coal and natural gas power plants. Cold fusion powered super-sized cruise ships and super-sized ships for shipping containers, oil and LNG ships would greatly benefit global shipping.
Why I prefer solar and wind power along with some battery backup. Solar and wind power are what we call intermittent or veritable power supplies. Opponents of solar and wind power often refer to it as expensive and unreliable. But the electrical engineers know the truth. There is a mathematical formula used to make reliable solar and wind power along with battery storage. In each metropolitan area, you need to know the peak power consumption. In wind power I prefer floating offshore wind turbines because wind power offshore is stronger and more consistent than onshore wind. When offshore wind turbines are spread out over a wide geographic area intermittent and veritable power output are greatly reduced. There is a statistic known as capacity factor. Onshore land-based wind turbines capacity factor in the best locations is 33%. This means that a land- based wind turbine only produces on average 33% of the name plate capacity of the wind turbine. A GE 3.6-megawatts land-based wind turbine only produces an average of 1.188 megawatts of electricity. The exact same GE 3.6-megawatt wind turbine on a floating offshore platform has a capacity factor of 67%. This means that exact same GE wind turbine will produce 2.412 megawatts of electricity. But offshore floating wind turbine has one big trick. An offshore floating wind turbine can scale up to 48 megawatts with a capacity factor of 67% so your average power output is 32.160 megawatts. Offshore wind turbine fan blades are max at 200 meters long. No land-based wind turbine can scale up this large. Your average metropolitan area uses 3 gigawatts of electricity peak consumption. When taking capacity factor into account to a have reliable source of electricity you need 4 to 5 times greater electricity from floating wind turbines than peak power consumption. 4 48 megawatts offshore wind turbines per week manufacturing on a dry dock than towed to sea and connecting the electrical and fiber optical cables. Less than ten years Australia will have more electricity than it can use. 18 hours of batteries storage will be needed at the power substation level. Every 11 and 22 years there will be a very brief loss of power no matter how many floating offshore wind turbines you have online. Meaning Australia needs a national electric grid. Living here in the United States every week I can see and measure the reliability of having a national electric grid. Backup batteries will keep the power grid stable during such events. Solar power and battery backup on all homes, and commercial building rooftops parking lot canopies and deserts will greatly stabilize the power grid. Of course, solar power with backup batteries must be 4 to 5 times greater than peak power consumption. This will be the lowest cost and reliable electricity for Australia.
An offshore floating wind turbine will last over 50 years. Keep in mind a floating wind turbine can be rebuilt and refurbished, and it will last another 50 years repair in a drydock. Every 20 years the bearings will be replaced, and an oil change every year for the latest single bearing wind turbine. Capital costs are included in the rates with a 10-year mortgage. Mortgage and maintenance costs are included in the rate base. There will be no rate increase with wind solar power with battery backup. It’s the rate payers really pay for the capital cost. Rate payers are the collateral and paying for the mortgage or capital cost. Choosing nuclear power will be a big increase electricity rates for rate payers’ years before nuclear power plants construction starts. The permitting process will be about 5 years and construction time 10 years. Maybe twice or 4-times the rate increase before any nuclear power plant produces its first kilowatt to the grid. Would you pay $2.00 a gallon or $10.00 a gallon for gasoline I would rather pay $2.00 a gallon for gasoline.
74.8% of electricity supplied today at 12:30PM was renewable energy.
Whoop de doo.
Come back and tell us all what the percentage is at 12:30am
Where 🤔
@@troywallace322 oldmate Kenno is probably talking about his solar powered microwave oven
Join the dots, Ken. Check the NEM and AEMO statistics. The NEM is dead if they dont shut down the coal plants. Nothing to do with environment, pure economics. Grid electricity is in a death spiral due to poor government policy in the 00s, causing the rise of rooftop PV to the point where daytime demand for electricity is near negative. EVs were meant to be the saviour of the grid, but it looks like they just don't work for Australia.
@@dontbeasheeple5883 do you know how coal plants work? They can't just turn them off during the day and back on in the afternoon...
What else could people expect, all Political Parties too proud to talk this over then ask the Australian Citizens to choose, as long as the truth was explained. A very simple way of solving and starting any programme.
It's also very expensive to maintain
No one ever talks about who is going to clean all these solar panels. They lose a lot of efficiency when they are covered in dust or bird droppings.🤷♂️
A complete waste of money and food production land an absolute disgrace
It is the norm, when someone talks about coal, gas and solar energy, to be reminded by a message underneath the video, that global warming is an absolute truth. On this occasion, why has such a message absent?
you need to do a story on how a electricity bill is made from its individual components. The energy component is small compared to the rest. The bill = Tuos + Duos + retail + energy. Tuos and duos are "Use of System" components for transmission and distribution networks and are regulated on the return to the owner. The more networks built the higher those components are and they are the bulk of a bill. The renewable build drives up both transmission and distribution spend and that goes straight into your bill.
And they just keep throwing money at it.
Should've gone to specsavers....
Start building half a dozen nuclear power stations. Check out Finland’s new power station….nuclear.
Can't we somehow turn kangaroos and emus into energy?
The recent example shows that renewables are not able to stand alone as I have been saying all along
Broken Hill has solar wind and a battery…
But without grid connection and a stable supply all renewables are useless
We should learn from this unfortunate situation and re direct our energy futures
At present we are speeding towards a major disaster!
The best thing is that if the coal plants aren't eventually all shut down, then the NEM will collapse because of rooftop PV. Nothing to do with global warming or environmentalism, just simple economics. Minimum demand just keeps going lower and lower and lower and thr electricity prices just keep getting higher and higher and higher. Its pretty simple to understand whats going on.
One good dust storm, or a hailstorm and all those solar cells will be useless.
What's the cost of maintenance on these wind tower and solar as they get older
Unimaginable!
I don’t have aircon or a heater use my tv for lighting the room WTF and the bill is still ridiculous
Do solar panels generate on a full moon
Only when politicians bend over 😜
I suppose if we all drop our pants and bend over they might , 🤪

Australia needs another export to pay for the import of LNG.
shoes made from recycled windmills???
🤣🤣🤣
Bowen has to go.
Just look what happened in broken hill we have the solar the wind and the battery and still had no power without the diesel Generator running. Renewable energy is a con
We have already seen the results of the rush into renewables by energy companies with the Broken Hill blackouts
Transgrids rush onto renewables saw it caught with its pants down ,Transgrid neglected maintenance on its backup Diesel Generator ,the batteries were unable to cope with the demand
The one-operating diesel generator was operating at a reduced capacity of 14 MW (instead of 25 MW) and the 50 MW, 50 MWh battery was restricted to a maximum 11 MW because of the difficulties in keeping it in sync with the diesel generator
Energy SYSTEMS are struggling with the variability and output of rooftop solar, and local homes were asked to shut them down (if they knew how to do that safely)
The big wind and solar farms located in the region have become notoriously weak parts of the grid, resulting in their heavy restrictions.
The big question now about the green energy transition is not about the technology, but whether the regulatory processes, the rules, and grid management protocols are fit for purpose.
Transgrid has neglected the maintenance and replacement of aging transmission towers leaving them vulnerable to storm damage that we saw
One hail storm and that paddocks finnished...go green
Can't wait for the Blackouts 🤣🤣
you better change your name to 'whiskey thumb twiddler'!!😂
A useless energy system
We need more innovation in to green energy if our technology is not stronger enough yet, for a smooth transition
At least one Chris (Uhlmann) has some brains. The other Chris (Bowen) sadly lacking any at all.
Go nuclear. Read and watch Michael Shellenberger.
Nuclear power plants should be legalised in this country.
My understanding as a scientist is that the carbon dioxide emissions from fossil fuels are actually beneficial.
We should simply use the most economical energy resources available.
@@johngeier8692How is that going to pay off Albo's house when he's invested in renewables?
This has nothing to do with the US election.
Is this one of them solar forms that's going to be run all the way to Indonesia to give them free electricity and not us
Ahh the great green fantasy
😆😆😆
Two jurnos gossiping to flog a film.
Is the film a fantasy
What about some facts?
Solar is the best for daytime demand. Battery can store the energy for night time demand. Other sources can fill the gap. Don't politice that solar energy because Elon will not be happy. lol
Conewables the great delusion
It will be more expensive & unreliable! You need base load electricity...
We can't afford our own gas after lil Johny Howard gave it away, we miss out on about 170 billion in royalties every year but instead we get 3 billion. That's the problem. Give us our fair share of $$ for our resources and we would be the richest country in the world
