[QUOTE="Y Fan Wen, post: 7550487, member: 741"] And so the future arrives, whatever we may wish or think: [I]'We are on the cusp of the fastest, deepest, most profound disruption of the energy sector in over a century.

When SA suffered blackouts, the Aus PM waved a lump of coal in the chamber and ranted about renewables unreliability. The blackout was caused by storm damage to the distribution system.
