The failure to advance nuclear power in this country to replace coal-fired plants being driven out of business by massive subsidies to wind and solar beggars belief. Everyone with half a brain is alive to the fact that chaotically intermittent and heavily subsidised wind and solar are responsible for Australia’s power pricing and supply calamity

Australian households and businesses are already feeling the pinch; retail power prices have rocketed, with much worse to come; energy hungry businesses are simply cut from the grid when the sun sets and special calm weather sets in.

And yet, Labor’s gormless Energy Minister, Chris Bowen pretends that the panacea to the renewables-driven disaster is more of the same. George Orwell would struggle to keep a straight face laying out the kind of political narrative being run by Bowen and his fellow travellers.

Nick Cater spells out a little of what Australians can look forward to under the Green-Labor Alliance.
