I feel genuinely sorry for the starry-eyed renewable energy enthusiasts who write to Letters columns, (Cheaper energy future, 01/05), because reality is going to crush them.
One only need study the basics of electrical engineering for a few days to realise that renewables cannot provide baseload, cannot provide the type of energy needed to replace themselves, and cannot make electricity bills cheaper.
A nation much cleverer than Australia has been promoting the renewable energy fictions that the true believers love so much and they’ve been profiting extensively from weakening us while they open new coal-fired power stations every week.
Reality always trumps belief, which is why believers are facing a hard landing.
