Australia's Next Economic Powerhouse
[Early Access]
Hello Patrons,
This video is about how the South Australian economy is being supercharged by renewable energy. How did they of all the states manage to get there? Let's take a look, but a lot of the reasons won't surprise you.
We're happy to report that our comeback video is in production now. So expect us to be back posting publicly in the next 2 weeks. We'll hopefully be able to show you that video early too. While we've been a bit quiet over the last few weeks we've actually been working on quite a few longer videos like this energy one and they're all just about finished now. So expect more patreon releases at the end of the week.
Once we're back posting publicly we'll get back into the full swing of doing patreon suggesion polls and bonus videos. Look forward to those!
Thank you all for the support and catch you soon,
The FJ Crew

Fuck yeah SA, also fun fact: we had the only working geothermal power plant in Aus (though was shut down for "not being economically viable" 🤡🥲) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Geothermal_power_in_Australia
I'm finding it impossible to politely disagree with boomers quoting the Age and the Guardian at me as though they had anything to say! I tried polite - didn't work. Tried impolite - seriously didn't work.
I just want a video about the creeping threat to railways being rail trails.
I tried to explain to my non engineer family members that if we can setup hydrogen infrastructure to export tankers full of the stuff we can became Saudi Australia in 20 years and have unlimited fuck you levels of cash
I support green energy but can we not do this whole ai bubble thing?
South Australia, the state with so much water to spare to cool data centres...?
Wow a video about South Australia, this almost makes up for coopers being left out of the beer review video. #neverforget
Busting to get this video public so I can share it!
Premier Mali is a fucking champ, when he’s done with SA, let him have a crack at Prime Minister
Geelong mention WOOHOO, go Aus
Explains why my Future Super account is doing so well
I remember the good old days (about a year and a half or so ago) when our big bicep Steven Miles government made us the best perofroming state in the country with massive surplusses and really good policy. Now we have the LNP doing basically f all on crime and giving coshee jobs to their mates aswell as not delivering on their promises. *Cries in Queenslander*
This housing thing he did is gonna fuck up banyo our sewerage and waster water can’t keep up and cost millions in the long run.
I just want to build a house for less than $750K
Never going to happen, however you'll get more moneg
Oh fuck off Jordies. This is just a 21st century version of what Tasmania was trying 50+ years ago. Except it's way easier and cheaper today to buy solar/wind compared to building hydro. 75% renewable energy in 2023? Weak. That said, could you delay this video? My IT degree is fucking useless here and the few groups set up here for our green energy are pivoting towards SA. Give a fella a head start. Also, fuck Bob Brown, the Greens, and their stupid triangle.
Yeah, what's your point? Yeah they were doing good back in the day but now they're not doing good.
Ha ha ha ha ha Sydney ha ha ha ha
Got to admit, Mali is a good looking premier.
Best crabs in SA are caught in front of the hot water outlet pipes from the Lead Smelter. Fuck’in go Port Pirie!!
Hey qld banyo housing development reeks of corruption due to banyo always flooding whenever there’s rain and sewage coming into peoples houses. Also David cristo has been doing speaking engagements for 250000 while having no donations to himself on the aec thanks
Yeah Id love to see a vid on that aye
15:40 I think you meant "quarter of a BILLION bucks".
Going from Wine Country to Whine Country. SA will be the envy of the other states soon enough
Yes. The Big Fella is back. Please get back on the pod.
Renewable energy has always been the logical way to prosperity for this country, with the tidy little side effect of creating a cleaner environment, but that future was deliberately sabotaged by tyrannical dinosaurs. Never thought I'd see the day when SA was held up as a beacon of inspiration, but we do live in interesting times. This video almost, almost, makes me feel hope for that future again.. Solid work FJ.
I genuinely laughed at the very end about banging the Lithuanian.
We really don't pay the public service workers enough. That helps. It's fucked that a Labor government is refusing to increase their pay to the same standard as their peers when they earn 25% less in some cases for the same job. Real wages are much slower here than in other states and the housing situation is now worse too. That being said, it's still the place to be right now. The entire city is a great place to be. I don't even lock my door here most days.
We finally get the recognition we deserve. I reckon after the March election there will be only 2 opposition seats too!
I wish the ETS was implemented
There needs to be more videos on future made in Australia. Even people who watch fj that make YouTube videos don't seem to understand it without reading them policies for 45mins.
Hey thats my state!
Friendlyjordies making me hopemaxx for the future of this country
Coming out strong. Might even get me to go to Adelaide one day.
Don't, it's garbage, stay in melbourne
Final couple of seconds. Spit my coffee out laughing. Great video team ❤️
Seeing so much hate for government and the pm recently . Good to see another video
A lot of them are surely bots. Check out some of the Albo Facebook page posts and I shot you not I've seen upwards of 15 comment son a post 12 seconds old and they're all already upvoted 50+ times and say something like 'wed be better off without u' or some shit. Always private profiles too
Glorious.
Fuck yeah, Jimmy's back and he's glazing it like there's no tomorrow.
Is it possible you can do a video on the new Defence Delivery Agency? Defence is plagued with projects that are over-budget & behind-schedule. Minister Marles & Minister Conroy are about to rollout the Defence Delivery Agency to deal with this chronic issue, however, the media will never comment on how transformational this will be. Also, it is the type of policy that should it work, no one will ever realise because it is boring, long-term reform. The media only ever talks about buzz announcements.
Do we have the same problem as the USA with Defence having to send stuff back to the manufacturer to be repaired instead of doing it on the spot? I hope not. Also I hope they're better than most of the public service at listening to the people below them and accepting bad news.
