Rightly or wrongly he stuck his nose into a state issue, and after just over one year into the job as Prime Minister he hasn’t made much of an impression on fixing things nationally.

Isn’t it ironic that these people can find fault with everyone else but can’t and won’t admit to their own poor efforts and performances.

Sadly this is what’s wrong with our society too many experts without any knowledge or expertise on resolving anything, the blind leading the blind.

Following the recent South Australia power outages, the Liberal government opportunistically claimed that South Australia’s ambitious proportion of renewable energy supply mixed with conventional power generation methods was the root cause of the power outage.

The power outages actually occurred because high-voltage power transmission towers collapsed during an extreme weather event which in-turn exposed deficiencies in an interfacing soft-ware system designed to synchronize the switching between the various available energy supply sources.

With year 2016 predicted by the World Meteorological Organization to be globally the hottest ever recorded, the South Australia power outage is surely a wake-up call for us all and certainly a need for politicians to leave the science and engineering explanations of power generation to experts without their continual spruiking of technical untruths to the general public.

Whether it be in South Australia, Haiti, Florida, Carolina or East Cuba, extreme weather events are known to be on the increase both in intensity and frequency as a consequence of climate change, largely brought on by the burning of fossil fuels.

Hurricane Matthew left more than 900 people dead in Haiti, and caused 1.5 million households and businesses throughout Florida, Georgia and Carolina to lose power.

In Australia we need to prepare for more high wind events, more flash flooding, and more bushfires, and as a consequence more power outages particularly if we are lead by those who say we should stay with coal-fired power stations and slow the introduction of renewable energy.

After-all, it is the on-going burning of fossil fuels that is bringing on more extreme and destructive weather events that ultimately threaten reliable power supply through the inevitable savaging of our vulnerable ‘Poles & Wires’ infrastructure.

Our PM has previously encouraged us as a nation to become innovative and creative so it is our PM who should be ‘seizing the moment’ and promoting high-tech Australian companies to develop world’s best practice in the manufacture of ‘interfacing software’ which would allow the accelerated introduction of renewable energy providing minimal power outages, rather than limiting renewable energy introduction and slowing the phasing-out of coal-fired power stations which many other ill-informed politicians also advocate.

We have a moral responsibility to minimize the impact of climate change and if we don’t, we will bring further needless hardship upon ourselves and future generations.

Let’s seize the moment, let’s propel ourselves forward with innovation and creativity, and know that morally we have done our best for our nation and the world.
