Victoria on its way to burning diesel as gas levels run low warns Graham Lloyd

The Australian’s Environment Editor Graham Lloyd says Victoria could soon be burning diesel as the state’s gas levels are running low.
The remarks follow warnings of a potential shortfall as soon as 2025 as a result of anti-gas policies.
“The warnings are coming thick and fast that that’s where things are heading,” Mr Lloyd told Sky News Australia host Steve Price.
“We’re getting to the situation where gas is running low so we’re going to be burning diesel fuel instead.
“To argue against the emissions of something we end up creating more emissions, burning something else.
“These are the unintended consequences of trying to have an outcome without having a proper road map to get there."

    Australia’s reliance on gas is also increasing with the promotion of wind and solar electricity, which is intermittent and unreliable, and needs to be backed up. Dispatchable hydroelectric power is scarce, and batteries are expensive, so the main option is peaking natural gas plants. In addition, Australia’s coal-fired generation fleet is ageing and starting to retire. Lower cost gas will not only ensure that replacement baseload capacity is gas rather than coal but will also lower electricity prices and hasten the switching But southern Labor-run States Victoria, South Australia and New South Wales (NSW) have all banned onshore gas production to some extent. Victoria has been the most strict, banning all onshore exploration and development NSW has some of the largest onshore natural gas resources in the state’s history. But in 2014, the NSW government capitulated to an environmental campaign that claimed they were coal seam gas resources which required extensive hydraulic fracturing. More recently, the massive onshore Narrabri project in NSW has also been the subject of controversy
