Super implies it's… well, super. It's not. It's just a big inefficient battery. People with stern faces tell us that this is going to be "the biggest battery in the Southern Hemisphere and will help replace coal fired power stations." They're podium donuts who haven't a clue what they're talking about.

So this battery 1.4GWh is to replace (albeit go towards replacing) this mother which produces about 40GWh per day.

So it would take about 28 of the "world's biggest batteries" to store the electricity generated by this power plant for just one day. Oh, and this power plant accounts for some 20% of NSW's electricity consumption.

What the hell are we missing here? I hope we are missing something because the consequences of this ideology are truly frightening.

This is scary stuff (if you are blessed with living in the "lucky country"): Australia's energy market operator is preparing for more coal-fired power stations to close down many years earlier than planned and expects all of Victoria's coal plants to be shut by 2032, demanding a massive expansion of renewable energy and 10,000 extra kilometers of power lines to connect the grid.

In its official 30-year road map recently released, the Australian Energy Market Operator (AEMO) said it expected 60% of the eastern seaboard's coal fleet to exit the electricity grid within the next decade by 2030 while the last remaining plant will shut by 2042.
