I wrote my university dissertation on how the eventual success of renewable energy is directly dependant on having the ability to smooth energy supply and match supply to demand through energy storage technologies . Until this is achieved then traditional power stations will continue to run at grid capacity when renewables are the cheapest input to switch off . <| sep |> hats auch nicht <| sep |> And to think that if this same gas was offered to industry as the tax payers resources to fuel a steel industry in WA , we could have been the biggest steel maker in the world . But no , our traitor politicians just love multinationals effectively stealing our resources at bargain basement prices . Likewise they could have negotiated a quota for gas reserves for Australia and a special price for the supply of gas to Australians but they treat us with such contempt . Even a 3 rd world regime would have looked after its citizens , but not our traitor politicians . If they had to sell citizens to be used for fuel to fuel the export of gas or resources they would . Thats their mentalityWhat annoys me the most is that the good citizens of Asia buy our gas at cheaper prices the poor old citizen has to pay retail in Australia . We getting ripped off in Australia on gas prices .
