** In Tasmania, it is 100% hydro.

Not 100%, they use power from Victoria for base load demand at certain
times. And that's from brown coal.

Massive amounts of it too, compared to the small population.

If they had amounts as massive as you suggest, Victoria would not have a
problem. They could simply put in another Bass Straight cable if necessary.
Instead we are building large numbers of wind generators.
