    The sun doesn’t shine at night.

    Wind blows at night at the shoreline.

    Have a look when it is daytime there and you’ll see upwards of 60% of their electricity is solar.

    Well, over 12 months it’s not that rosy, except for Tasmania:

      I thought you’d at least have a chuckle when you realised that it was night time when you made your dumb comment.

      Over the last 12 months it is 25% solar and 13% wind. The population centres on the east coast are worse than WA, SA and TAS in that regard.

      Yes, 45% of coal generated electricity is awful, but you were still incorrect in saying Australia is doing nothing.

      A collosal solar farm and transmission cable to Singapore is under construction which is will be a great achievement when complete.

        Except I did not say that. I asked what’s going on and that things aren’t that rosy. You must me have confused with someone else.
