I agree, BUT, vote in who? There are only One Nation and the Australia Party. All the rest are the same. Besides, most people don't even think about voting for a party, they just vote for the party they always vote for.
Both sides of Politics need a big wake up call regarding base load power production. This ineptitude and ignorance has been going on for decades, here we are paying through the nose for power and it's crippling everyone.
They are subservient muppets to the UN/WEF globalists. Focusing on our national politicians and their policies won't do jack shiite. They are easily replaced with other UN/WEF muppets. The Australian Uniparty has been completely "penetrated" by the globalists. We have become so bound by both governments over the decades (as signatories of these UN agreements, conventions and treaties) that these chains of international law now threaten our sovereignty. If we want to change things here in Australia we need to be rid of these multi billionaire globalists as a first priority. Shredding these aforementioned agreements, conventions and treaties will cost us in many cases but the price to be paid for our Freedom is worth it. We now need more than ever to become a Republic and introduce a Bill of Rights and a Direct Democracy system of governance. This "democracy" for the filthy rich only that we live under has become a stepping stone to totalitarianism.
Ignorant is correct Labor is completely Ignorant of the fact............. Australians are being pushed into poverty by soaring electricity costs No country has managed a 100% renewable operation, Gerrmany attempted it but failed miserably in reliability or emission reduction California is still attempting it but is now importing coal and gas-produced power from other states Labor is fear-mongering in an attempt to maintain its ideological push that Australia can become a Green energy superpower
A few green carpet baggers and their shareholders are temporarily making money at everyone else’s expense. We need to abandon the horrendously costly folly of Net Zero and simply use the most economical energy resources available.

Net Zero Policies are not something that a Nation of about 26 million people can afford..Better off staying on Coal for Electrical Generated Power. South Australia needs a new Power Station since the Playford Power Station was dismantled ,that was near Port Augusta.
That was their plan. Con the west through the WEF , UN , WHO. Shut down their reliable power supplies then sell them cheap, toxic crap. We fell for it electing compliant socialist governments. They didn’t reckon on Trump getting back in, though.
That's why they were "appointed"... still think the best candidates for the job are the ones who get voted in? Not even close. The system is all but designed to prevent the ones who would do good from getting in, or failing that, from changing things for the better once they do get in. That's the uniparty's modus operati.
South Australia runs more renewables than any state also has the most days where it's energy needs were supplied by 100% renewables but we have the most expensive electricity in the world so much for cheap renewable power the cheapest power in the world is nuclear we have abundant uranium
SA had the highest power prices in the country before it moved to renewables. Its high prices are not the fault of renewables. IEA data shows that new nuclear is the MOST expensive form of power generation so switching to nuclear is not going to help
I agree with energy illiterate comment and would also say they can't do financial analysis. It is simple to compare renewables, coal, gas and nuclear with a cashflow. You can get wholesale electricity price for a given return on investment. Coal at international prices is more expensive than nuclear. Renewables/batteries/gas mix is more expensive then nuclear. I didn't do pumped hydro in my cashflow because there isn't enough. I hate it when they confuse power and energy or assume the energy is stored in the grid.
Perhaps the private sector, this Continents revenue producers, knows what's good for itself to keep up with the unreasonable increase in the demands placed on our treasuries by the near 2.5million revenue consuming (at most alarming & offensive rates) govt sector!
Energy illiterate, economically illiterate, just plain stupid and illiterate. That's socialists for you, who only ever studied arts, law or other humanities, absolutely no STEM subjects, and never worked in the private sector, only for unions or parliament. They have no idea how ordinary Australians live, work or play.
Gotta love the accusation of the minerals required for renewable energy. "You've gotta dig the stuff out of the ground." Compared to what? Coal digs itself out of the ground, and then humans burn it day and night with the pollution ending up in our atmosphere so we can inhale it along with our children for the rest of our lives. Yeah that really makes a lot of sense. The cost of renewables will obviously come down as manufacturing efficiencies and science kicks in. The first computer needed a forklift to lift it off the back of a semitrailer and cost millions of dollars, and a staff of hundreds to monitor its every move. Fast forward to now we have more memory in the palm of her hand, our mobile phones would be inconceivable to Neil Armstrong and the crew of the Apollo 11 their on-board computer was equivalent to a high school students calculator in the 90s. Does any country really want to be burning coal in the 22nd century while the rest of the world prospers with clean renewable energy?
Politicians have listened to the Science and they are as stupid as the scientist they listened to. What people should be doing is looking at what these politicians are investing their money in. Look at the criminality of insider trading by these people and how they are forcing Australians into having something to line their own pockets.
Bowen says wind and solar are the cheapest because the fuel is free. We know in SA this is wrong as our bills are the highest. Fuel makes up less than 1/10 of my bill. All the other costs are still there with wind and solar as they are for gas and coal but the extra cost for installation and maintenance of new transmission lines far exceeds the 10% of my bill saved in fuel.
SA had the highest power prices on the NEM before even moving to renewables. SA has very high distribution costs due to its extreme summer temperatures and high market penetration of air conditioners. Distribution costs are largely independent of the means of generation.
And the extra 10,000 km of transmission lines required for the wind/solar transition? How do you explain that they arent due to the method of generation?
@@davefoord1259. Transmission costs are a relatively small component of total power bills. The AER produces a breakdown of consumer power price components as part of its setting of the default market prices. For SA, in 2022/23, out of an average retail price of 35c/KWh, distribution costs (12c/KWh) were nearly as high as wholesale price 16c/KWh which is disproportionally high compared to other states. Transmission costs were around 4c/KWh. SA had a very large increase in distribution network costs between 2010/11 & 2013/14. The AEMC found that this was driven by increases in peak demand caused by air-conditioner use during summer heatwaves.
@@davefoord1259 Much of that 10,000 km will need to be built regardless of what energy source we use. A lot of current transmission is ageing and in need of an upgrade or presents a single point of failure. When Callide C4 exploded in May 2021, consequential trips resulted in the loss of power to 375,000 customers partly due to insufficient capacity in the NSW interconnector to counteract the loss of supply. We have had a number of instances recently (Broken Hill, Kalgoorlie, Loy Yang) of major outages due to transmission towers being blown down in windstorms. Improvements in other technologies may also reduce the need for transmission upgrades. One of the main roles of the Victorian Big Battery is to beef up the capacity of the Victorian NSW interconnector during summer demand peaks. Wider local use of batteries with technologies such as Virtual Power Plants enables use at source and avoids the need for further transmission.
Labor's plan will cost us around $650b, and leave us at the mercy of a communist dictatorship for our energy needs with replacement of old, damaged end of life equipment. We need our own energy sources, independent from outside suppliers.
Once nuclear powerstations are finally built around Australia, wind and solar when they need re building will not be rebuilt because along with the batteries will go to land fill
Just ONE nuclear reactor construction start outside China last year and only TWO so far this year. Nuclear's share of global power production is half what it was 25 years ago and on a declining trend Nuclear is going nowhere
Wind and solar leaving a massive gap check comments for solar system design think about it to stable min base load vs solar intermittent i use white light generation over a silicone cell vs your 700 times the sun so you got no power left full scale projects com on man????

It is 20th century technology struggling to compete in a 21st century grid. The operators of Bayswater have been trialling running their generators in two-shift mode where they shut down in the middle of the day to avoid losing money. The AER sets the benchmarks for consumer power prices. It gives one of the main reasons for price rises in recent years as outages at our coal plants (14 out of 47 generators offline during the winter of 2022) forcing expensive gas to be used to fill the gap No bank will finance a new coal plant due to the risk of it becoming a stranded asset
