‘Deliberate self-harm’: Call for ‘100 per cent’ backup of renewables when they fall
Sky News contributor Chris Uhlmann discusses the need for a “firm, dispatchable source of energy” to keep the lights on when solar and wind fall through.
“One can only wonder, and they only have to look back to last year in April … there were long periods of time when there was no solar power and there was essentially no wind,” Mr Uhlmann told Sky News host Peta Credlin.
“When that happens, you need 100 per cent backup of all of that stuff, you simply cannot do that with batteries.”
