Original Note:
The blackout was caused by: - collapse of powerlines & power poles due to a storm - the "trip-off" of power at a coal-fired power station due to fluctuations from the downed lines. There is no evidence to connect the blackout to renewable energy sources or net-zero targets. https://www.abc.net.au/news/2024-02-14/victoria-melbourne-power-outage-storms-how-did-it-happen/103464714
