Solar Totally Eclipsed: Sunny Queensland Powered By Ever-Reliable Coal-Fired Plants
Despite the hype, the true contribution of solar power to Australia’s grid remains trivial and especially so from sunset to sunup. Oh, almost forgot, cloudy and inclement weather makes a pretty fair dent in solar output, too. Queensland is renowned as the Sunshine State. But, even there, the massive increase in subsidised solar panels … Continue reading Solar Totally Eclipsed: Sunny Queensland Powered By Ever-Reliable Coal-Fired Plants
