7 November

The great swindle here is to make unthinking Australians believe their power price rises are due to renewables. Even a Year 7 science student could find the data in about 5 minutes. The surge in power prices is due to the use of gas to generate electricity, and the continued failure of coal-fired plants, which require continuous and expensive maintenance. The ONLY cheap electricty in the grid is renewables. The suggested solution, to build more coal-fired plants and nuclear power stations, would be astronomically more expensive for Australians, and take 2 decades to do. Nobody in industry wants to build either, because they know they’re a white elephant, costing tens of billions to build with no chance of any economic return. So these halfwits want to become the new Soviet Union, building them with government money. (That’s your money, as they like to say.) Most of the renewables grid is being built with private money, it’s not costing you a cent.
