    http://www.abc.net.au/news/2017-12-...er-to-shut-industry-prevent-blackouts/9255434Truly the Laughing stock of Australia.  And trust it hurts me to say that.

    I can understand why South Australains are fed up with being ridiculed like this.

    but when they fall for sucker punch claptrap talk from greenies and voter hungry pollies this crap is bound to happen.

    Business in South Australia being asked to shut down so South Australia does not black out again. So much for the $50M battery buy.  What a pathetic joke.  A waste of money that was obvious to all.

    Energy regulator prepares to pull trigger on industry shutdowns to prevent summer blackouts

    Energy regulator prepares to pull trigger on industry shutdowns to prevent summer blackouts

    With high temperatures forecast for Adelaide, the Australian Energy Market Operator (AEMO) contacted at least one South Australian company to tell it to be prepared to temporarily shut down.

    Today it was contacted by AEMO and asked if it was "ready and willing to turn off this afternoon".

    The foundry will be paid about $350,000 to shut down.

    Gees  they could have purchased  another 10 seconds of battery back up at that price from Elon Musk.
