Doesn't matter what state you blow over a few transmission towers, you are going to lose a chunk of that states power in the short term.
And for our "idiot in charge" to come out saying we need "energy security" is a joke !
I don't see too many electric tractors or trucks, you know those things we need to grow crops and transport food products to the masses, let alone ambulances and emergency services, YET we largely rely on imported fuel (particularly NSW) since the closing of refining
I'd sooner go without electricity than diesel/petrol
