Default Dying For Gaia

Greenies are deadly as well as whacko!

March 28 2009

Big Green Brother will soon be able to kill the frail at the flick of a remote:

ELECTRICITY companies could soon ration power by remotely turning off your television or
air-conditioner. Electrical Transmitters South Australia (ETSA) Utilities wants to install
a new electronic control box in every Adelaide home, starting in 2011.

ETSA chief executive Lew Owens said the device could prevent the kind of suburban
blackouts that Adelaide experienced in January, by reducing demand across the city.

It is operated by FM radio signal and can be controlled house by house. It follows
successful trials by ETSA of a less sophisticated "peak breaker" box attached to
air-conditioners in Mawson Lakes and Glenelg, and used to turn off compressors in periods
of peak demand in heatwaves.

Why is this scheme so deadly to the poor and frail?

Just check what happened during Adelaide's last heat wave:

Health Minister John Hill last night told The Advertiser he was concerned there had been
22 sudden deaths in yesterday's 43.1C heat - the third consecutive day above 40C. Today
there have been eleven sudden deaths across metropolitan Adelaide and country SA.

"There is a high probability that a number of the deaths are associated with the hot
weather," he said."About 14 of (the 22) deaths were elderly...."

Those deaths, especially among the elderly, led to this appeal, backed even by the
green-mad State Government:

Health officials are asking all GPs to contact vulnerable patients to ensure they are
coping. Council on the Ageing chief executive John Yates yesterday told the elderly: "If
you have airconditioning, use it.

"Many older South Australians were brought up in an era before airconditioning and some of
them are reluctant to use it, partly from anxiety about the cost of running their system,
given electricity costs have just been increased," he said. "In the extreme weather
conditions we are currently experiencing, it could literally be fatal for older people not
to use it."

Yes, it can be fatal to the elderly not to use airconditioning in a heat-wave. But now
that airconditioning can be switched off by remote control. And who is most likely to opt
in to such a scheme, which promises to save them a few dollars? Precisely the kind of
people most in danger of dying in a heat wave.

A word to the green politicians pushing this mad plan.

The answer to not having enough power in a heat wave is to install more generators, not
bump off more people.
