The 'next big hailstorm' will destroy solar panels and the 'lights will go out'

Former ANSTO Chief Executive Dr Adi Paterson says the next “big hailstorm” will result in Australia losing “500 megawatts” of power.
Opposition Leader Peter Dutton announced the Coalition’s nuclear policy last week, including the seven proposed sites for the nuclear reactors.
“My fear for the Sydney basin is what I call the big hailstorm,” Dr Paterson said.
“When the big hailstorm comes, and a big hailstorm will come in the next 20 years, we will lose 500 megawatts of power in the Sydney Basin which is keeping the lights on.
“That is AEMO’s plan.
“This hail will smash the panels on our roofs, and the lights will go out.”

    %The reason the ABC does want you to hear former ANSTO chief executive Dr Adi Paterson Because Dr Adi Paterson slammed Labor's push for renewable energy, saying wind turbines only work “37 per cent of the time”. He did a 4BC Morning program to debunk the myths around nuclear in Australia and condemned the apparent scare campaigns from Labor ABC and the Guardian Labor and the left Media went ‘straight into scare campaign mode’ after Coalition nuclear announcement Australia’s peak scientific body CSIRO jumps in with an Apples to Apples comparison claiming an exorbitant cost and significant rollout timeline, Australia 'can't afford' not to accept nuclear power without it the Australia that we love is on the edge of a cliff.” “His view is that AEMO should be completely restructured,” “It should be brought back into the real world, not be in the animal farm with Labor and the Greens His authority to speak on Nuclear Power generation..............

Here in the uk today we have not enough wind to turn the turbine sails and about 80% cloud cover for solar but it is very warm so air conditioners will be eating the power from the gas stations backup which has to be at the ready 24/7 so, now we have two power systems running in tandem instead of one and we pay a 24% RENEWABLES TAX on our fuel bills for this mind blowing stupidity.

    Correct. In the 1970s Ralph Nader used to go around claiming that a nuclear reactor meltdown would claim 10,000 lives. There are still inflated claims regarding the death toll from Chernobyl. We live in a demon haunted world where ridiculous popular delusions have been allowed to triumph over critical thinking and common sense. There is no significant and dangerous problem with the climate looming. An energy system based upon wind and solar equipment would be prohibitively costly and impractical. Nuclear power is safer than rooftop solar. There are 2 mass psychoses in operation in association with a massive fraud in much of the Western world. Australia and Germany are also burdened with the Nuclear Power is Unsafe Delusion.

Most of his neaighbours solar panels were wiped out and it seems insurance will not pay. However this bloke seems to forget hail storms go on a swathe across areas, not the whole of Sydney or any other area. Ugly rooves are VERY expensive elctricity,, solar arrays are a far better idea BUT a hail storm can or will wipe one out eventually. Storms also stop windmill production. So neither at best are ever baseload. But the loonies cannot see commonsense.

    The big issue is that the possible negative effects of man’s carbon dioxide emissions have been grossly exaggerated and confabulated whilst the benefits have been almost entirely ignored by politicians and mainstream media. Arrhenius who described the greenhouse effect in the late nineteenth century opined that the carbon dioxide emissions from human activity would have the beneficial effects of greening of the planet with increased agricultural yields and postponement of the next glacial maximum. You can add reduced winter heating costs and fewer deaths from hypothermia. We should simply withdraw from the Paris Accord and use the most economical energy resources available.

    Nuclear power is unavoidable, because it is the only realistic option for ensuring Australia's energy supply if coal-fired power plants are to be replaced.

Unless there is a two-tier system in which large corporations and wealthy individuals are given uninterrupted power because they can afford the rising prices, while you continue to experience regular blackouts, always fixing your Chinese-made solar panels, and waiting for the wind to blow to power your house on a part time basis.

    Yep and the last big one was 2018 and we have millions of panels and hardly any were damaged vs the damage to cars, windows, roofs etc etc So I wouldn't worry about it and a Solar Panel with a cracked glass will still work like a iphone with a cracked screen does. In which case hardly a disaster and plenty of time to replace them if required. His point is a silly emotional grabber to get people worried.

    The usa can put reactors in submarines and we are still arguing about building one. There have been constant accidents with the wind turbines which are only good for 7 years. Solar water heating is complete rubbish, out of 57 houses built 5.5 years ago not 1 solar hot water panel is still working and have been swapped out for instant gas hot water. Regular solar panels only last 5 years as well so there are piles of them building up😢

    Australia has 25gW of fossil fueled generation. Australia needs 175gW of no CO2 emissions generation. If clean electricity. That also means that the national electrical transmission grid has to increase in capacity and the grid is 10 times more expensive than the generation plant. And needs to be 10 times bigger . Nobody is thinking about the big problem. 20million Battery Vehicles will need electricity, nobody is thinking about getting all the extra electricity to the 20million customers. No gas heat. No petroleum. No coal. No grid expansion.

    He is correct. Never seen a calculator with a solar panel in it? Its a 20% efficiency. Solar energy into electrical energy from memory. 0:00 Nuclear energy is above 90% efficiency. Which is great because an electric motor is 90% efficient also. Electronic switch mode power supply which what computers are powered with are much less efficient.

    Here in Ontario, Canada we are currently building one SMR, it's a BWRX-300, with 3 more units coming. The first one will be operational in 2029. These SMRs produce 300 megawatts and when all 4 are operational they will power 1.2 million homes. Thankfully Canada ( I mean the old Canada, not this shitty new one) was smart enough to invest in nuclear energy and we have been producing nuclear energy since the late 1960's. If these units work as advertised it will revolutionize electricity production and distribution. I believe large mines and oil sands facilities will install them right on site eliminating all the power lines and keeping these companies safe from far-left governments worried about CO2 emissions.

    The first solar panel was attached to a car in 1937. It was a Sunbeam that could possibly travel 5 miles before sit in the sun all day. As occurs in S. Africa emergency response call centres. " I know your house is on fire madam and I'm really sorry. But our electric fire engine is still being charged". Even S. Africa has nuclear power stations.

    so the nuclear expert is has no expertise on renewables. this mega hailstorm that will happen in the next twenty years when did the last hailstorm happen? How big does a hail stone need to be to destroy a solar panel will every car in Sydney that is outside be damaged in this hail storm? How many people are likely to be killed? So Peter Dutton's plan for 7 reactors is a dud because this expert says so. He says we need hundreds of small reactors who makes these rectors where will we buy them from? How can there de a rational debate if there is no information and costings.

    Actually an array of smaller nuclear reactors makes a lot of sense it makes the power network a lot more robust rather than rely on a single mega reactor that when it requires any sort of maintenance you lose your entire grid....Never thought solar and wind were viable options for city sized power generation.....Solar is brilliant for homes no question about that.
