Continuing our story of #Pakistan 's #energy grid crisis, keep in mind ALL ministers/officials in charge are trained in finance/accounts, none in science

so the biggest issue in an #EnergyTransition isn't even on their radar - the infamous "duck curve"

They see only a pricing/net-margin issue, and an "overcapacity" in the grid that needs to be cut

Which gets us the perfect storm for vultures to exploit

‘The Callide coal-fired power plant has an annual water allocation of 20,000 ML from the Callide Dam, which is fed by the Awoonga Dam. As of Wednesday, Awoonga – which supplies the city of Gladstone’s water – was at 46% capacity, and Callide – which supplies drinking water to Biloela – was at 16.5% capacity. Callide Dam is also used to replenish aquifers that irrigate crops in the Callide Valley.

‘Callide would have to find an additional 27,000 ML of water to power the kind of power plants implied by the Coalition’s nuclear plan, the QCC report found – with Copeman saying there was simply “not enough water available”.’
