The sun doesn't shine at night. Have a look when it is daytime there and you'll see upwards of 60% of their electricity is solar.

Or use the EM site and check for past statistics.

Wind blows at night at the shoreline.

Well, over 12 months it's not that rosy, except for Tasmania:

I thought you'd at least have a chuckle when you realised that it was night time when you made your dumb comment.

Over the last 12 months it is 25% solar and 13% wind. The population centres on the east coast are worse than WA, SA and TAS in that regard.

Yes, 45% of coal generated electricity is awful, but you were still incorrect in saying Australia is doing nothing.

A collosal solar farm and transmission cable to Singapore is under construction which is will be a great achievement when complete.

Except I did not say that. I asked what's going on and that things aren't that rosy. You must me have confused with someone else.
