The stuck bore can’t go forwards, but she can’t go back the way she came in either. According to the ABC she started ten months ago, and is supposed to be digging her way through 15 kilometres (10 miles) of mountain. Unfortunately a 2,400 ton Tunnel Boring Machine called Florence is quite stuck under a cave-in.
The entire project is superfluous in a grid with coal power - as we know from the last fifty years when we didn’t need it. “Australia’s biggest renewable energy project” is the $6 – 10 billion plan to pump water uphill so it can run back down again to generate electricity every time the windmills and solar panels suffer a catastrophic failure, which is nearly every day. However it has hit another delay no one apparently saw coming. Australia’s Biggest Renewable Energy Project, Snowy 2.0, grinds to a halt, with a stuck bore By Jo Nova | February 14, 2023Ĭomplexity has a price, and a renewables grid is a bit like a 240 volt moving Rubiks cube. Here we see an unnecessary project hit by a random factor that in turn will affect all the others, blowing out other costs and schedules.Īustralia’s breakneck energy transition, driven like a crash test dummy by government subsidies, depends on finishing the massive pumped hydro scheme called Snowy 2.0.
