From Guy Cox, Sydney, Australia
I loved Alice Klein’s piece about South Australia’s transition to renewables. I would say it had a bit of unexpected help. South Australia formerly had a major automotive industry. Holden, once Australia’s largest car-maker, ran a huge factory in the Adelaide suburb of Elizabeth. From 2013, it started ramping down production, finally shutting in 2017. This must have removed a substantial load from the state’s electricity grid (28 October, p 36).
