'Used to have reliable cheap electricity': Ian Plimer slams Chris Bowen's latest ploy

- Geologist Ian Plimer slams the announcement of community batteries over “reliable cheap electricity”.
This follows Climate Change and Energy Minister Chris Bowen announcing the launch of a community battery for North Epping.
“We used to have a time when we all sat in our houses with reliable cheap electricity,” Mr Plimer told Sky News host Rita Panahi.
“Now we have batteries … and they last a few minutes,” Mr Plimer joked.
The biggest scam of the century
Easily top 3, there are a few contenders for the top spot
Sorry, but that honor goes to a tie between Climate Change and Convid.
It really is , a bit like electric cars and trucks they want to take the place of internal combustion engined vehicles..
Electric vehicles can work in a very limited use case , for the simple reason that battery powered anything only work to a certain level in ideal conditions.
As soon as they are under heavy loads or adverse conditions they falter very very quickly.
In short for anything but short commute trips in good conditions they are not a good option.
They are overall in the overwhelming majority not fit for purpose.
I’ll give you a perfect example here , a town in Canada was celebrating the acquisition of a new fire truck, the old fire trucks fully equipped cost about 200,000 bucks , the new green approved net zero fire truck cost about 450,000 for one single unit , and here is the kicker , the electric capacity of the truck was insufficient to operate all the the apparatus , so it was also equipped with a diesel engine 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂.
Seriously stupidity like this you cannot make up.
And you can bet , that electric fire truck won’t last half the service life of the old much cheaper reliable diesel models.
And this is what these idiots grinning in front of batteries are trying to force us into.
yes agree i had a dog that tilted his head like Bowen does, but then my dog had brains. not like blackout BOWEN
Bowen would have shares in renewables bet you
We could fix it by rebuilding our coal plants
Correct.
👍
Coal plant 50 years plus …
Wind solar 10 - 15 years
Batteries 10 years
Factor in all the replacement costs of these useless renewable plants and clean up costs against 1 coal fired plant …
You can’t tell me renewables are cheaper
@@batmanlives6456batteries 10 years, that is rather generous, more like 10 months, or weeks, days, hours, or minutes!
They are not "ours". LNP sold them all off.
My respect for Politicians is at an all time low. One nation not included.

I can't wait to wake up from the hellish nightmare I am having. I am dreaming that the world has gone mad getting rid of cheap reliable energy and replacing it with hideous big windmills and some sought of panels that don't last and need replacing all the time. All the old ones go to landfill contaminating the soil. I dream I am sitting in my dark and cold house because I can't turn my heater or lights on. I having nothing to eat because my stove doesn't work.. When will this nightmare end.
Indeed. In many countries energy policy is currently based upon ridiculous and economically destructive popular delusions.
The false and delusional belief that man’s effects on the Earth’s climate are significant and dangerous. The false and delusional belief that transitioning to non fossil fuel energy sources will be cheap and easy.
Germany is also beset with the Nuclear Power is Unsafe Delusion (the false and delusional belief that nuclear power plants are unsafe).
Worldwide, trillions of dollars of taxpayers money and resources (including coal and oil) are being misappropriated into uneconomical and unreliable renewable energy projects.
No it's not a dream this is our reality our future.😵this is what happens when fools run out once beautiful country.😞@@annieoakley56
I can’t get over Bowen telling Australians there has been no black outs. That is a lie. My work is a 24/5 business and recently we have been having complete power outs that last for a few hours. The reasons from the electricity company were ‘NOT ENOUGH SUPPLY IN THE GRID’. I hope Bowens electorate wake up to this clown and vote liberal come election.
Libs started the net zero farce, they are two cheeks of the same ass.
In residential areas we often get brown outs that flick the mains off and on repeatedly for several minutes. We had to invest in UPS hardware to ensure our home computers and most important electronics like the weather station and water pumps don't get destroyed by the constant power fluctuations, doesn't help that the power lines and house wiring are from the damn 70s and haven't been upgraded since.
Mr Morrison signed us up for the economically destructive delusional insanity of Net Zero in the first place. The LNP needs to make it their official policy to withdraw Australia from the Paris Accord and use the most economical energy resources available.
Bowen is nothing more than an arrogant nothing arsehole.
That's the problem mate, what u said was perfect but choosing liberal again is just stupidity when you know there together
Best way to sway people away from EV's is just show EV fires.
Or to explain to them the real running cost. When the average person thinks of an EV they probably just look at the price, figure it is maybe 50% dearer than the petrol equivalent and think they might save the difference (or more) over the life of the vehicle with "free electricity" versus petrol. If they could understand that the electricity would be anything but free and that after 8 years the EV is quite literally worth nothing and needs a $25,000 plus battery (if you could even get one after 8 years) whilst the petrol car is not only still worth something but would be good to go for at least another decade or two, the penny might finally drop.
And if you would not be such a naive person you would know that EV fires are 50 times less likely than ICE car fires.... but hey, keep falling for ridiculous fakenews propaganda on such scam channels.
99 percent of "EV fires", were fake, or burning hybrids, but no EVs, as these events are extremely rare. Look up international insurance data, there you see it very clearly.
@@jonathanparle8429It's a eugenics depopulation agenda.
Small part of a larger 1000 year old plan.
@@jonathanparle8429people keep talking about how a petrol car is good for 20 years, yet there are not so many 20 year old cars on the road. If you didn’t notice, 10 year old ICE cars aren’t worth anything either.
@@fknid
Not sure where you are looking plenty of 20 plus year old reliable car's out here
If it's worth little who cares it has already reached its neutral footprint by not having to buy a replacement

A friend of mine got solar panels and batteries for their house. He bragged about how he was self sufficient and if the power went out he would be set. The Power finally went out one night, He switched on his battery power. It stopped 5 minutes late. It was a huge expense for nothing.
To make solar home batteries practically worthwhile (purely from an operational point of view), you'd really need about 300 kw hours worth of them for a medium sized family home since you need to cover off worst case scenarios such as two weeks of bleak weather in Winter where you get very little solar power and use a lot of energy. Anything less and all you are doing is buying yourself a bit more up-time versus the neighbour who has nothing at all.
BS, usual battery storage installed in small homes last 24 to 72 hours.
Labor is done , labor is finished , it's over for labor
@@chriswilliams8607 More like 12-18 hours unless you're very miserly in your usage, and that's if the powerwall starts at full charge.
@@jonathanparle8429 Diesel generators are still the backbone of getting through serious winter blackouts.

Cheap fuel n power...how fkn hard is it
I have friends who are firefighters in both Australia & Spain, both tell me that the biggest numbers of fires that they attend these days are battery fires on the form of EVs, cars and scooters.
EV fires are extremely rare, about 50 times less likely than normal ICE car fires. Hybrids are burning very often, about double the rate from ICE cars, and they are already terrible.
Scooters are a problem, because most of them are cheap built crap without decent battery managment system.
@@chriswilliams8607take an ICE car and put a lithium battery and electric motor in it, and it catches fire twice as often. Take an empty car shell and put an even bigger lithium battery and electric motor in it, and it hardly ever catches on fire?
I can't believe how f#cking gullible some people are.
Try obtaining some fire department stats for vehicle fires from cities further down the "EV revolution" than those in Aus (from either the UK or the EU) via the FIO act and prepare to have your bubble burst.
If you believe everything the government spoon feeds you, you probably think the AZ jab is still safe and effective too.🤦♂️
@@chriswilliams8607 you really need to take Bowen's dick out of your mouth.
@@chriswilliams8607 tell that to the people who have to attend the fires. The fire service in Melbourne are currently working on a system specifically designed for EV fires which will allow them to submerge the vehicle and keep it under water for 48 hours. If these fires are so rare, why bother? As for ICE fires, sure they happen & sure there are plenty of them, now look at the number of either type and let's look at the ratio. Further to this, the run off from the EV tends to have more toxins in it due to the chemicals and by products of the batteries. There is no protocol for containment at present.
@@MDCDiGiPiCs It is correct that a burning EV is a lot more effort to be put out, especially as fire services are usually not yet trained, and there is plenty of technical advances in fire fighting EVs.
Ratio is pretty clear for same number of cars about 50 ICE car fires versus 1 EV fire.
Hybrids are burning more often, about double rate from ICE cars.
Consider the fact that newer cars tend to have newer battery chemistry that does not burn anymore, about 70 of newer EVs now do not use NMC cells, that were more in danger of thermal runaway, newer cells don't do that.
Those batteries are a waste of money,,, they don't work.
We need to withdraw from the Paris Accord and use the most economical energy resources available.
Casanova Bowen will do to his current portfolio what he has done with every portfolio he has ever had.
He used to be called parrot face 🙃
Australians Albo is taking us back to the stone age. Under Albos leadership Australians can't afford food , electricity or service their mortages.
Bowen and Albo are what you voted for!! Bowen and Albo, are what you got....
They promised cheaper electriciteee,
What we'll get, is no😮 electriciteee!!! Thank you Bowen and Albo!!!
To be fair, I think Bowen and Albo fell across the line because people voted against ScoMo. I think they might have been fed up with PM turnover (after Turnbull rolled Abbott, then ScoMo rolling Turnbull - without being a better PM) much like the Rudd/Gillard/Rudd fiasco caused people to give Abbott a go to get away from those two.
No, we didn't vote for either idiot. Our preferential voting system, was used against us to ensure these dummies would be the voices of the global elites. They want to turn us into serfs, with minimal energy, poor housing and low protein foods.
Hand on heart, I did not vote Labor

Ultimately cheaper because it won’t be available!!!

Yes ! oh no sorry i cant...
Nope, he is totally incompetent.

Oi! That's a plastic, petro-chemical nappy that's wrapped around the car to protect the soy insulation. More plastic was used in the nappy tarpaulin than would have been used in the original wiring insulation.
Save the planet and buy an EV to add to landfill. We can have an EV mountain to rival Everest and charge the Greenies to climb it.
Well stupid is as a stupid does. I hope Toyota goes broke chasing the EV dream.
Nope they were almost going broke because it took them so long to finally realize that EVs are the future, as every sane person knows for 10 to 20 years now, but some clowns just don't get it.
I thought Toyota was trying to move away from EVs? They've been very reluctant to fall into the EV pit with the other companies, preferring to pursue hydrogen, and not wanting to go beyond hybrids in the ev market...
Rita & Ian are made for the stupid.
@@jiminverness They tried hard to push hydrogen, which is utterly ridiculous as this was clear for about 15 years now that hydrogen stands no change against EVs, now they realized their fault and trying to avoid going down with other legacy automakers, let's hope they survive and bring decent EVs.
Petrol agint goen away an time soon if it dose fuck power will be dear as fuck with no fuel taxs hey
A lot of things were cheap and reliable before Labor came to power.
Bowen proves that Politician’s are NOT assigned portfolios based on merit and capability. What then does qualify them? 🤔
It's what happens when you replace Meritocracy with Tech/Idiocracy..🇦🇺

@@paulevo511 so, basically, they need to be, at very least, a sociopath. 😕

Not one minister has the experience or qualifications for the portfolio they are entrusted with.
The batteries provide power just long enough to fire up the diesel generators.
I bought two heavy uninterrupted power supplies for my two computers here at home in anticipation of the regular Summer blackouts where I live becoming far more frequent and extending into Winter for the first time this year. There is no way any affordable uninterrupted power supply is going to keep powering a modern computer for very long - maybe 5 to 10 minutes. But the idea is merely to be able to put the computer into sleep mode when the uninterrupted power supply kicks in. That then gives me about 9 hours in sleep mode and no loss of data if I was in the middle of doing something (which I usually am). But the point is, batteries drain incredibly quickly and they'd have to be the most inefficient form of energy by size and weight on the planet. That uninterrupted power supply lets my computer survive for 10 minutes whereas the same weight in petrol takes my 1,000 kilogram hatchback 150 kilometres. And in a normal sized car (versus my tiny hatchback), you'd go the same distance with 40 kg of fuel that it takes 400 kg of batteries to achieve.
Only an clueless moron would say such a thing. Battery storage is the key for the energy transition that is overdue for decades.
@@jonathanparle8429 I want to commend you on your choice of LiS avatar.👍
@@jonathanparle8429it’s called specific energy and batteries have an extremely poor one.

Hydrogen is 141
Uranium is 330,000,000!
Are the new batteries EVERREADY.
I notice that nobody dares to say anything about the mining required to produce the necessary materials. Even for supposedly plentiful copper, the mining requirement must increase by some 150%. Some environmentalists are realising this and trying to get noticed.
"nobody" ... ahhh, there are a thousend studies out there discussing this extensively, with always the same result, EVs and battery storage are magnitudes cleaner and more sustainable than every other option that is available today. Nothing is more disastrous for the environment that the insanity of burning fossile products for cars, trucks or driving powerplants. An EV saves about 70% energy compared to an ICE car, a heatpump saves up to 85%, and battery storage reduces coal power on such a scale, that the costs are financed sometimes within one single year.
@@chriswilliams8607So ban all coal exports...correct.?
@@UluwatuHatiHati No, but nobody will burn coal in a few decades, and it is already noticeable that more and more countries started understanding that renewables are the only option for long term survival.
@@chriswilliams8607 You make good points...I just find it hypocritical and irresponsible to ban coal burning in Australia yet continue to export to the worlds largest emitters...agree.?
@@UluwatuHatiHati I do not like bans at all, and i in general do not support radical green politics, but it must be obvious to everyone that we have an urgent need to transit away from 100 years of happily burning fossile ressources. As solar and batteries have gotten that cheap within just a few years, we have the technology to move away, and we should do that.
If Albo drives enough Australians from their homes, he will have houses for all of the immagrants that Labor are pouring in to Australia.😢😭
I have a crank handle for my 1983 Range rover when the battery dies.
What are you going to do ??😊
Could a doctor(s) sign a petition to declare a minister to be a nut case have him locked up in a padded room
If he really believes what he’s saying then he’s afflicted with the Climate Delusion and the Energy Transition Delusion.
Confirms my opinion. It's all about transferring the wealth from the poor and middle class to the rich. NO DOUBT.
Batteries must always be replaced, and so must after twenty years or less, renewable energy.
We're just not ready for widespread large battery use, maybe when liquid metal batteries are out of the theoretical stages we can discuss it, but right now it's just not working.
Lithium Polymer and Ion batteries don't like the Australian heat, even a few days of 35 degrees cooks them with regular use, I've actually had laptops die from usage during heatwaves, the batteries just fused from the heat.
Can't imagine them enjoying the desert scorching heat under the bonnet of a car, I've cooked an egg on a video call to a yank friend of mine, on the bonnet once just for giggles.
Usually around 10 years at most or sooner
Wait till there's a plague of rats to get into your wiring on your cars
Huge cost of repairs

Oh but we sell more wiring looms $$$$$$$
Bowen - the Golum of Australian politics
Bored with big corporation's blaming inflation when they are raking in billions and using consultancy firms to lay off staff while recording huge profits, (Telstra), price gougeing and blaming cost of wages. Politicians, foreign owned corporations and Consultancy firms are causing the huge cost of living on us....all in the name for bigger profits...they are doing this to us Australian's...
Talking about living out in the bush in a tent. Thanks albo you flog. Thats exactly what im doing. Over 60 and on a DSP
Reliable and cheap electricity before successive conservative governments sold off the assets. We were told that would be good for us if we wanted cheap power, yeah that worked out very well.
Public power supply is a natural monopoly.
And you can add the AVIATION business in the "can't do" camp! I chaired an IATA working group (1997) that was charged with studying the effects of global warming on the Aviation Industry. To the best of my knowledge, there has been ZERO progress on finding a solution. There is NO alternative to avgas to fuel aircraft, end of story!!!
Power was cheap before greed caused gas prices to go up. It is still reliable.
Scrap the energy market. Energy is an ESSENTIAL SERVICE not a profiteering opportunity.
Gas should be free, we give $149 billion worth of gas away to overseas for free every year, 55% of Qld gas and 76% of WA gas is given away while Victoria wants to ban its use.
Renewables will never meet the energy requirements of a modern society.
My solar panels help my electricity price go up I'm so amazed 😮
Steer clear of EV they blow-up big time
Changeing too quickly before technology catches up.
Just look at his non-accepting face-he thinks he knows best =bizarre

Absolute joke running a country on batteries
Our family car has a family (lead acid) battery.
Electricity wholesale average is 10c a kwh. Retail average is 45c a kwh.
The retailer also charges us a daily supply charge to cover the distribution costs. So they dont generate it, dont disttibute it, dont fix the distribution system when it has faults, dont have the capital costs of the generators and mines.
They just buy it at 10c sell it at 45c, and thats averages, so why does noone talk about that??
Who is raking in a percentage of that outrageous profiteering?
From that 45c a significant chunk goes to the distribution network operator to pay for getting the energy to your meter.
I don't know about other states, but in SA the distribution network operator publishes a price list that has a breakdown of all the components of the tariffs that normally only commercial electricity customers see on itemised bills.
From shopping around I've seen that most retailers have massive markups on the daily connection fee that the distribution network charges.
@@bradcavanagh3092 im not sure what youre saying. Can you clarify whether the distribution network operators costs are far less than the daily charge we get retail?
@@bradcavanagh3092 can you point us to where the distribution costs you spoke of are published for sa?
@@davefoord1259 SA Power Networks charges retailers 54.65c/day for connections.
The "Network Use of Service" charges (which is the sum of transmission, distribution and green scheme charges) depend upon what tariff you're on, but can vary between 2.69c/kWh and 29.63c/kWh. The standard flat-rate tariff is 13.47c/kWh with controlled loads at 6.79c/kWh
In the US (non-sanctuary cities) retail is what, 16c a kwh? North Dakota charges around 10c a kwh. Yet Australian retail is allowed to gouge 45c, and you're not allowed to bypass them and buy from the wholesaler.
"Renowned geologist Ian Plimer!" 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

Batteries do provide more than backup. They are used for smoothing variability that occurs with solar and wind and regulation services with normal supply and demand. Nothing new here. But the big question is whether this is just a boondoggle for battery manufacturers.
Mercedes had sense….unlike our Government
What a joke. The nation running on batteries.
I look forward to seeing what happens if the cashless economy gets approved, how well will it work in the electricless renewable future?
I’ve read all his books and got the ones for grandsons.
Clark and dawe would have some great material about this.
lets face it bowen touches anything it turns to shit
E.Vs are the cheapest right now in Australia since their introduction, thousands are being slashed off all brands Unfortunately it's because no one is buying them.Car yards have to slash prices just to get rid of them.This is not what the government had in mind when they messed with the free market.
It was actually theoretically possible for Bowen's plan to work, but apart from it costing trillions in business and taxpayer investment, it also would have cost private households around $60,000 per year over and above any energy bills they had to pay. That covers off the total running cost (including maintenance and depreciation) of an EV, a massive solar array and around 300 kw hours of solar batteries installed in the garage.
You have no clue what you are talking about, don't embarrass yourself. Power from wind and solar, transition to EVs, huge storage batteries are obviously the way to go, and every sane government starts investing heavily in this new technologies that will finally bring an end to the insanity of burning precious fossile ressources. EVs and heatpumps save huge amounts of energy, EVs about 70%, heatpumps up to 85%, we would be completely nuts not to transit to that.
It not economically possible nor necessary as the carbon dioxide emissions from fossil fuels are largely beneficial.
Benefits include greening of the planet with increased agricultural yields (main effect), reduced winter heating costs, fewer deaths from hypothermia and postponement of the next glacial maximum.
@@johngeier8692 I do not like climate hysteria, but morons like you that believe they know something are even more dangerous. We do not have scientific data that clearly prove how much CO2 is affecting climate change, but we do not have any data that would support your assumption. Stop guessing and stupid excuses to burn fossile fuels, face reality.
Burning fossile ressources is extremely damaging to the environment, and only an insane society would continue to do so, as we would face our certain doom. We have burnt about half the earths fossile ressources in a 100 years, how stupid would we bee if we keep doing that.
Moving to EVs and renewables is not only easiyl oeconomically possible, it is a must, there is no alternative to it, except if we want to end humanity as we know it within 50 to 100 years.
It was the ALP who sold off our power grid to "Investors" when the power company belong to us the voter and thats when our power rate was manageable but put in the hands of a corporation and we stand by and watch our power cost take off and the CEO's of the power companies laugh so loud ... The fact is like any machine that is battery powered the machine is sold separately to the battery . So what we do know is the battery only has a life span of ten years while the body will last infinitely longer ...
Those generators will keep running even with fuel costs going up. Because you will work harder😂
seems to me that Bowen is the same dump a.. as Albonese .........
Hi Rita ❤
The Digital ID Bill 2024 and Digital ID (Transitional and Consequential Provisions) Bill 2024 passed in the Senate in March and has now passed the House of Representatives.
Told you to buy your candles few years ago.
How long has Chris Bowen been in the artificial intelligence industry?
Yes American firefighters 🚒 the same. Takes gallons of water 💦 Don’t have an accident in one 😡😡
I don't quite understand!! Why doesn't the CO 2 just disappear through the hole in the ozone layer 😂
The key feature of batteries is storage. The downside is storing excess power generation to CHARGE them. Twice the storage equates to twice as much generation ! 1KWhr from storage requires 1 KWhr . If 1 KWhr lasts for 1 minute then 60 KWhrs of generetion is required for 1 hour!
Demand from Battery power is required at PEAK or Emergency downtime, no wind or no solar events may coincide. Flat batteries require RECHARGING how and when ? Conclusion we need DOUBLE THE GENERATION CAPACTY TO MAKE BATTERY STANDBY WORK ! QED
No matter what he says my next car will be Electrical. I travel 3-400 km per week. I don't mind charging my car in my garage. So why would I pay $$ for bloody petrol.
What is the carbon footprint for an EV, compared to an ICE vehicle, when brand new in the showroom? The ICE vehicle is a LOT greener. You have to drive 100,000+ km to catch up in the EV. Volvo did a study on this on their XC40 (EV and ICE).
Now the LNP nuclear policy is clarified, the Labor/Green criticism is going to become hysterical, why? Because they sense its a vote winner.
What about all of the 4x4 vehicles towing trailers and caravans
everyone has to have tear drop vans .
At the end of day it will become the house holder to provide all his own utilites, only the big users will be on grid. Much like you mow the kerb grass owned by the council now, mind set..we are moved in mysterious ways with out taking any notice.
horses for courses - EVs great for the air quality in the city, not much else. But we do have sodium-ion batteries already now, which can be replaced for about 5K - a petrol car would cost you that in services and repairs once warranty is gone.
Use less power each quarter but the bill increases.
Im in remote South Australia and having a ev is just what we don't want out here when its 46 degrees and you need to stop to charge the ev with a 1 year old.. hmmm ill pass thanks
