as I stated in another thread. Just about all our solar panels and inverters and wind turbine blades and nacelles and lithium batteries and grid size batteries , inverters and switchgear come from China.
Anytime China gets the *smile* with a country hey take punitive action against them.

Also better fast track that $1 billion solar panel plant and build quite a few more. With some inverter factories to go with them.
Then build wind turbine blade and nacelle factories. Also start sourcing all the raw materials for those factories and stockpiling it.
Get onto Nielsen’s for product design of switchgear for the big big batteries we’re starting to build… well we will one day.

Place a ban on lithium exports and keep it all for domestic and commercial use in Australia.
National security of energy supplies trumps barley and wine tariffs
 
China has nuclear power though so it all cancels out in the end
Those horrible, dirty, dangerous big reactors, or the perfectly safe, cheap, and better than renewable power for the environment, little ones?

That'll be the least of our problems when we go to war with China.

Fuel reserves for approx 24 days. Then we rely on electric and hydrogen powered vehicles. Says Bowen.


Yeah, we’ll be living in caves. No electrical energy available for anything domestic or commercial. Factories won’t run. No manufacturing, no farming, supermarkets etc.
it has a far reaching effect all the same.

Not allowed to use fossil fuels. Where is our strategic fuel reserve?
Sail boats, gliders or solar powered ships and planes

From 1 July 2023, the Minimum Stockholding Obligation will require Australia’s 2 refineries, and our major importers of refined fuels, to hold baseline stocks of:

  • petrol; 24 days, increasing to 27 days in 2024 for importers
  • diesel fuel; 20 days, increasing to 32 in 2024 for importers
  • jet fuel; 24 days, increasing to 27 days in 2024 for importers.
Refiners and importers will be required to report stock levels fortnightly, then weekly from 1 July 2024.

Minister for Climate Change and Energy, Chris Bowen, said the obligation was a crucial measure to protect consumers.

‘We are providing greater energy security for Australian households and businesses impacted by global and domestic challenges to supply lines,’ the Minister said.

‘Australia’s transition to electric and hydrogen-powered vehicles will also help guard against volatility in coming years.’

What a dill. How does that help manufacturing, industry, grid power.

What really annoys me is how much the Labor party brown nose to China...Federal/State level
They are that desperate for investment into renewables and other projects ,they continue to sell out .
If there was a war in Taiwan ,god help us if the Labor party are still in power.

Because we may not join in a war that is none of our business, potentially leading to disaster on many levels for Australia?

Like Ukraine isn't any of our business,,let the Democratic countries all bow down to the Communist bullies .

Yeah... Nah...

Tell me. Why is Ukraine a war that we should be happy jumping into?

And as a bit of an aside, did you see that the US has started on the conscription option again? I can't work out what for... Are the Poms back trying to take over the USA?

I find the idea that having no power means that "we'll be living in caves" interesting.

Wouldn't caves be even darker without power than a regular house with windows?

Also I feel there probably aren't enough caves given our current population, there's barely enough houses.

Talk me through this Willo.

Didn't the previous government set up strategic fuel reserves.

Oh yeah, almost forgot, those strategic oil reserves for Australia . . . are stored in the USA.
