Terrific, thoughtful critique of my @thenewdaily electricity piece by Steph Byrom, a doctoral student at QUT, posted on LinkedIn: There's more to the grid than just electricity linkedin.com/pulse/theres-mo…

There's more to the grid than just electricity

"The coal-fired power generation industry is on the brink of collapse", writes Alan Kohler. While I have a very high opinion of Mr Kohler, I think perhaps we need to talk about grid services,...
