Mondi, apparently the cell towers only have an 8hr battery backup. Is this right?

Bigger exchanges have Gensets and battery backup. Smaller sites have batteries, average time is around 8 hours but in the event of an emergency where power could be off for the long term, portable Gensets will be deployed to these sites.

It is absolute stupidity to get rid of the coal power stations and replace them with wind and solar. Anybody with even a passing knowledge of solar and wind generated electricity knows that it won't work.
Do the Country a favour and get rid of the Greens before they totally fuck us up  :gnasher:
what has this blackout got to do with shuting down coal power? It's more to do with the national grid isn't it
