#LoyYang

We’re not running out of energy. We’re deliberately shutting it down. Loy Yang A delivers 2,210MW 24/7 and powers ~30% of Victoria. It sits on hundreds of years of accessible coal and it was recently refurbished. Yet inexplicably we’re closing it early. So what are we replacing it with?

• ~15,000 hectares of solar
• ~130,000 hectares of wind
• 1,000+ turbines
• Massive transmission buildout
• Backup storage that still can’t guarantee supply

And that is all to replicate what 6,000 hectares already does and reliably. We’re still dismantling dispatchable power and it needs to stop. We need to keep reliable generation online while we build more of what actually works. This isn’t an appropriate engineering solution, it’s more climate ideology and it’s Aussie households that will continue pay the piper for it.

[Simon Ree @simon_ree]

Australia was handed one of the greatest starting positions of any country in history

Massive mineral wealth. Abundant energy. World-class beaches. Amazing climate. No fault lines... no earthquakes or tsunamis

If you gave a 12-year-old this setup in a civilisation-building game, they'd build a paradise

Instead, we got decades of useless politicians on both sides of the aisle who couldn't run a sausage sizzle at Bunnings without a $4 billion feasibility study and a royal commission

Australia isn't unlucky. It's grossly mismanaged

JUST IN: The most irreversible consequence of this war is not happening in Tehran. It is happening in a barn in Iowa.

A farmer is standing over a kitchen table looking at two seed catalogues. One is corn. One is soybeans. Corn needs 180 pounds of nitrogen per acre. Nitrogen costs $610 per ton on the CBOT March futures settlement as of yesterday, up 35 percent in a month. Soybeans fix their own nitrogen from the atmosphere through root bacteria called rhizobia. They need nothing from the Strait of Hormuz.

The farmer is choosing soybeans. Millions of acres are choosing soybeans. And once the planter rolls into the field, the choice cannot be reversed until next year.

USDA projected corn at roughly 94 million acres for 2026, down from 98.8 million. Soybeans at 85 million, up from 81.2 million. Those projections were published February 19, before urea surged past $683 at New Orleans. The actual shift will be larger. USDA Prospective Plantings reports March 31. By then the seeds will be in the ground.

This is the transmission channel the world is not watching.

A 21-mile strait enforced by provincial commanders with sealed radio orders just rewrote the planting economics of 90 million acres of the most productive farmland on Earth. Not through sanctions. Not through diplomacy. Through the price of a single molecule that corn cannot grow without and soybeans do not need.

Now follow the cascade.

The Renewable Fuel Standard mandates 15 billion gallons of corn ethanol annually. That consumes roughly 43 percent of the entire US corn crop. The mandate is set by the EPA. It does not flex when corn acres shrink. It is inelastic demand consuming a fixed share of a declining supply. When supply tightens against a fixed mandate, the remaining corn reprices upward. Corn above $5 per bushel compresses every margin downstream.

The US cattle herd stands at 86.2 million head, a 75-year low per USDA NASS. Poultry and pork operations face compression from higher corn prices. Feed is the single largest cost in livestock production. When feed reprices, protein reprices. When protein reprices, every grocery shelf in America absorbs the increase.

This is the protein cascade. Corn to feed to meat to eggs to dairy to the checkout counter. Each link tightens because the link before it tightened. The originating cause is a urea molecule that cannot transit a strait because a provincial commander’s sealed orders say it cannot.

The farmer did not start this war. The farmer cannot end it. The farmer responds to the price on the screen and the biology of the two crops in front of him. Corn needs the molecule. Soybeans do not. At $610 the arithmetic is settled. The planter rolls. The season is locked.

Israel just authorised the assassination of every Iranian official on sight. The US has spent $16.5 billion. South Pars is burning. The Fed is holding rates because oil inflation will not break. Gold touched $5,000. Bitcoin is bleeding. China is running exercises near Taiwan. Sri Lanka shut down on Wednesdays.

And underneath all of it, a man in a barn is making the decision that determines whether four billion people pay more for food this year. He has never heard of the Mosaic Doctrine. He does not know what a sealed contingency packet is. He knows what nitrogen costs. And he is planting soybeans.

What’s really coming home to roost here is just how dumb-as-dogshit, lacking vision, unserious and incompetent, Australian “leaders” are. Across the entire spectrum. Dumb down the population via the education system, media and “entertainment” and this is what you get. Weapons grade fucking retards driving the bus. As you sow, so shall you reap.

This American lady is right. In America, that is just basic courtesy. When you're here, respect the culture or better just leave. Yep, when in America, act American. No apologies!!

[Francynancy @FranMooMoo]

The Labor/Liberal uniparty are trying every trick in the book to shut One Nation down in South Australia. Going by current polls, the true opposition in South Australia right now is One Nation and it looks like the Libs will do anything to keep those shadow ministry jobs with extra perks and pay even if it means doing a deal with Labor. Spread the word 🇦🇺

Please be aware of what you are supporting when you support some renewable projects. There is no framework for proper process in place.

[One Nation Australia @OneNationAus]

GET READY: This morning on breakfast radio, Anthony Albanese openly urged Australians to support the Labor AND Liberal parties.

This is a clear signal: he intends to target One Nation, just like the elites did back in 1998. The Australian warned over the weekend that every tool will be used against us: taunts, lies, malice, and political attacks.
Labor’s response to losing power will be swift and ruthless. They won’t hold back.

Australians, be ready. Removing Albanese from office will not be easy. Some in politics believe power and privilege are their right, they hate earning it, and they hate seeing Australians choose anyone else.

@JulianHillMP The hypocrisy and irony in this is almost hard to pick up on cause we have to sift through such thick bullshit everytime an ALP member opens their mouth. You don't speak for Australians, you don't give a shit about Australians. Does the ALP host bullshitting classes? Unhinged!

[Craig Kelly:🇦🇺Foundation for Economic Education @craigkellyAFEE]

The hottest day ever officially recorded in Australia, using a standard Stevenson screen at a government weather station, was 125 °F (51.7 °C) on Sunday, 3 January 1909, at Bourke, New South Wales.

For decades this was long recognised as Australia’s hottest day.

However, it didn’t fit the “global warming” narrative.

For if, as alarmists assert that “climate change” is causing unprecedented record heat, how could our hottest-ever day have occurred back in 1909?

So just as Orwell described in 1984, the Bureau of Meteorology (BOM) rewrote history.

"Every record has been destroyed or falsified, every book rewritten, every picture has been repainted, every date has been altered. And the process is continuing day by day and minute by minute ….. Nothing exists except an endless present in which the Party is always right.”

The BOM’s excuse for erasing this record was that the observer at the Bourke Post Office in January 1909 supposedly made a mistake.

The BOM’s justification for declaring it a “mistake” was the assertion that nearby weather stations did not record a similar temperature spike on the same day, so theefore 125 °F reading at Bourke must have been an error.

But that claim by the BOM is a LIE.

Before COVID, I personally visited the Australian National Archives to examine the original handwritten meteorological observation books because I no longer trusted the BOM after some of their earlier data manipulations.

The archived observation book from the official weather station at Brewarrina — the nearest official station to Bourke, just 100 km away — recorded a maximum temperature of 50.6 °C (123 °F) on the very same day in January 1909.

Thus, two official government weather stations only 100 km apart both independently recorded extreme heat on the same day: Bourke 125 °F and Brewarrina 123 °F.

Game, set, match. The Bourke record must be reinstated and the BOM held accountable for their malfeasance.

One of my regrets is that the human-rights abuses inflicted upon Australians during the COVID years, along with the malfeasance at the TGA, distracted me from pursuing this matter further at the time.

Any organisation that can so brazenly and fraudulently tamper with historical data, as the BOM has done, simply cannot be trusted.

I’d bet London to a brick that the very same people at the BOM who fraudulently altered our climate history have their fingers all over the $100 million of taxpayers’ money they’ve spent “updating their website”.

There should be a full investigation into the Bureau of Meteorology. I volunteer to head it.
