- Sky News host Liz Storer says Australia is “clearing thousands of hectares” for renewable energy projects.
Alinta Energy Chief Executive Jeff Dimery said at the National Press Club on Wednesday that Australians will have to pay more for energy in the future as the country transitions to renewables.
“When we’re talking about renewables versus coal or renewables versus nuclear - renewables versus basically any other form of energy - we’re not talking about comparing apples with apples,” Ms Storer told Sky News host Chris Kenny.
“Now we’re clearing thousands of hectares.
“What do we know about solar energy? It’s not half as powerful as coal, so what are we getting?”
And that's why the whole damn thing is a scam.
💯
ffs ,, how do work out its a scam, so you know better than all the evidence from every country and nearly any scientist and physicist that climate change is phucking real, we just had the hottest march ever, but oh no its a scam, you what the scam is it's the BS spread by operations like Murdoch
The solar panel is completely an environmental disaster
And labor is our Aussies humanity nightmare
So 570 Hectares of oxygen producing trees has no down side to their removal.
There are millions of hectares being cleared for wheat, COTTON and many other reasons. Even to build houses.
@@jimbo9 And mining
CO2 consuming trees too, don't forget
@@jimbo9 Bit of a stretch. These are all for consumption by humans. Solar and windfarms are for a grid that will not produce what is needed at the request of shonks and fast money subsidised by a ridiculous government.
@jimbo9 Give up your house and go live in a cave.
Otherwise, you are a hypocrite.
Do not use public transport.
Fly anywhere or go on holiday..
Plus, if you drive an electric car.
What charges it ?
Fossil fuel.
Get off your high horse.
Justin is an absolute knob.
Only if the knob is really faulty. Most knobs do their job. Justin is just annoying!!
unfortunately labor is full of them, they do not like to be proven wrong
Why is it Greenies always Yell when they're wrong? Get angry when faced with facts?
Well, we all know where the extra money go, separate private jets to the same event.
Vuk davos ! !
He's dreaming, and he's rude, talking over other commentators,
Cleanest coal in the world happy to sell it to the rest of the planet but Australia is not allowed to use it give me a break
Clean coal, hilarious.
Based on rank some coal is cleaner than others. Anthracite is the cleanest burning coal with a carbon content of around 95%.
@@clydesimpson1462 hilarious.
When Albo and Blackout stop selling coal overseas I may listen to them. Until then they are just bullshitting liars and have no idea. A bit like the $275 promise when they knew prices were to rise.
As for this Dickhead,,, fact, Australia contribution is miniscule, bankrupting our economy to be 'trendy' should have the players locked up.
If government and the greens in cities want their green then start clearing their land i the cities and their properties and see how they feel when they have to have the solar farms and towers I. Their backyard.
Why has fuel gone up again
CO2 is the gas of life.
Everything that saves the planet cost money, Interesting 🤔
biggest scheme ever
@@Richo-dm8ws biggest scam ever.
And suddenly rainforests in Queensland are endangering already endangered species 🤔
Money that peculuriarly always end up in the hands of billionaires who pay the media to propagate false narratives. Hmmm, how could that be?
If labor made an irreversible damage to Australia, could we ban them to participate in any political activities
Once a communist always a communist.
Put the wind farms in the cities. We would find out pretty quick how much the city dwellers want renewables.
Into Canberra, there is more wind there than anywhere else.
Sen Matt Canavan suggested recently that the flag pole on Parliament House be replaced with a wind turbine. Surprisingly that was not supported by the other pollies. But they are happy to put these useless monstrosities everywhere outside Canberra.
Whos paying Justin? What a tool.
A tool that cannot do any task properly. My tools are useful.
These clowns need to be held accountable and given a jail sentence for the lies and corruption
Alinta CEO talking down Nuclear, go figure, a competitor to gas saying nuclear is a bad choice.
Not sure that's correct unless you've heard a fuller interview. The way I read the issue is he was saying energy will get dearer as we rely more and more on renewables.
Nuclear repayment time is similar to the wind turbines
Interesting that China don't seem to be overly concerned with saving the planet. Is it up to the western world to feel the pain of transitioning to renewables while China has access to cheap energy and prospers. While the west goes broke striving for a reality that is unproven and damaging to our energy sovereignty and reliability.
Amazing how china gives every country the 🖕🏻
We are so resource rich but can’t use it what a joke 🤬🤬🤬
AMEN !
Yaaaay!! Cheeper Ewectwicity!!!
How green is renewable energy???
A medium shade of brown.
How Clean Green ?
Baby Shit Green
Until It Matures Into
True Turd Brown !
Not at all green
Its not.
$2.7 Trillion spent ,,,for no benefit to anyone or anything , except to those who are on the renewables gravy train.
Weather and time of day dependent generation is unreliable , and is too expensive as a result.
somebody need to stop all this greenie crap
Two points, the state governments shouldn't have privatised electricity and for 25 yrs ive had solar systems still work perfectly fine
I am with Lizz on this
typical lefty gota be louder and talking over all peeps
Wow what a crazy conversation. Nuclear
Send Smith back to school he is incorrect in his debate. We are going to need nuclear to have a base load, but he would of popped if that had come into the debate.
learn about it from his own pocket
Liz is correct. We use what we have until the new energy source is proven
Deforestation of Amazon forest should be a lesson what it has done to climate
Nothing ?
You are still breathing, are you not ?
Fossil fuels in Aus run out??? Are y ou dreaming mate!! We have so much gas in this country!!!
Well you better tell China that fossil fuel is going to run out, so they won't beable to buy our coal from Australia. What happens to the manufacting of solar panels and wind turbines? You do know solar panels and wind turbine blades and motors only have a life span of 20-25 years.
Aaaahm, commercial solar panels may last 10 years, wind turbines may last 15. That after several blade changes,, said blades left laying on the ground .
As for coal,, if it is so evil do not mine it and defenitly do NOT export it.
The Australian Haters Party will be the death of this country. bring on the next election.
Look at the recent state wide power outage in Victoria if we switch over to renewables that will be a common occurrence we don't even have enough power resources to power our country currently that's why our electricity prices are some of the highest on earth & this will also go up if we switch over to renewables. This country is a joke I'm seriously considering moving over seas as I can't afford to live in this BS country that I was born in I'll never be able to retire in my life time if I stay here.
I can’t believe the stupidity of our government. We are using minerals which have a limited supply on this planet for renewable energy and we are doing this at a time where technologies have not advanced enough to make it viable. Can we not see that in due time,technological advancements will make renewable energy possible and viable.However the way we are approaching this currently, will mean the technology will be available yet we will not have the minerals to make this possible. Talk about putting the cart before the horse.
The government has lied about the costs by not including in solar/EV rebates /Subsidiaries costs as well.
“Rules for thee, not for me!”
- Psychopath Government
Only a Melbournian living in Woketoria and suffering from Stockholm Syndrome from Dan Andrews could be so deluded as this guy.
Well said. So true.
The only reason electricity prices are increased was we sold the power grid now we pay for it also failed to build new generator plants
I would like this experts when they do a mistake should pay with jail time cos the damage a lot of citizens and environment
Justin Smith's responses on saving the planet and renewables were simply pathetic. An angry 5 year old could come up with more convincing arguments.
To think this guy has a media profile is quite scary. What's scarier is there are many as intellectually challenged ( on scientific issues) in the media.
I was actually angry hearing his nonsensical responses.
I was hoping for Liz to bring out her nuclear weapons and shut him down. But she stayed cool. Well done Liz.
But try to clear it for farming youll be fined into the hundreds of thousands of dollars go figure?
The picks don't want as to farm they to close farms down. Look what is happening over seas. 🤢👹
its a scam !!!!
sun dont shine every day and wind dont blow every day
Was the area fully checked before clearing for any of those special Aboriginal heritage sites? 🤪🤪🤪🤪
The value for renewables is seen in China with its huge military build up…..
Hello? We need gas?
Yes we do .
We sell most of it off shore cheaper than we can buy it for, but yeah a gas power station in central gas field area would work & be relatively clean.
Deforestation needs to stop happening. They can put stuff in deserts 🌵 keep nature.
The labour government needs to be shut down with extreme prejudice
very funny some people cant see the trees for the leaves always a pleasure listening to Liz
Liz is the best
Vote one Liz for PM
I can't believe that guy. Has he never heard of Germany? Or even the Scandi's who are increasing nuclear? The car was viable before horses were phased out. I don't really care if all of inner city Melbourne gets danger cold in winter, but he might because with his way that's where it's going. Ask the Poms. If it gets to that, the middleclass down might start getting agitated.
investing in renewables technology is different to implementing inefficient current renewables technology. Man is a muppet
Such a disgrace
look how crap EVs cars turned out
nothing wrong with coal. FFS!!!!!!
Renewable energy is the dirtiest energy ever thought of
Utter lunacy
the government doesn't own any land in Australia.....if they do this it becomes a constitutional issue.
Offensive?
Sorry Kenny, but I really can't stand you !!!!!!
Coal can be replaced with 16,000 hectares of solar panels…
Replace cotton with solar……probably more profitable too…
gove Cubby Station had a 4 yr drought and no production….
coal works, its energy stored as a rock.....its an amazing resource......
Cheapest energy on the planet.
"Believe"
Enough said
Alinta CEO. Higher Energy Prices to come! WHAT ! IT gets worse. Step 1. Re-wire the country Step 2. prices go up Step 3. Vote in a sensible government. Coal --> Gas --> Nuclear. Let the bead traders play with wind and solar in the meanwhile, but at the users cost, not Grandma's. We are losing industry in a huge way due to this. Watch Boyne Smelter.
To supply enough energy to power Australia's transport you would need an area bigger than Victoria covered in panels.
Imagine the ecological disaster that would be.
These people are insane.
Believe in the tooth fairy before renewables
Why is electricity now called “energy” ? When you talk about Power stations regardless of the fuel source or wind or solar , the product is ELECTRICITY not “ energy” , energy comes in many forms and electricity is the specific term for that . To call it energy is bad English.
Who gives a fucking shit. 🤨
And the sun is going to shine every day Justin thecjackarse Smith
These are meant to be adults but all they seem interested in is interrupting and speaking over each other.
Not one of them was willing to listen.
Not true. There was only one person trying to talk over the others.
Chris and Liz were simply holding their ground.
Love that: “yeah can’t save the planet by changing what we’re doing because we too busy doing what we’re doing so that’s a shame”. Great argument.
In twenty years time you're going to have the greatest environmental problem ever when you have to BURY all that NON-RENEWABLE shit.
Isn't the price of electricity going down on 1st July???
🤣🤣🤣🤣
Green energy is dirty energy.
Renewables is like Albo a scam
For all the doom & gloom the planet is 15% greener now than it was in 2000.
its a contradiction trying to save the environment but clearing land to do so its the bush that cleans the air, to manufacture solar panels requires coal.
Nothing like a news organisation reporting on how well one of their own hosts blasted someone. Classic.
Nuclear is safe.......and Australia has the resources in house...... but the brains are shod....its a shame.....
There must be some unwritten nuclear deterrence rule between the US and Australia about not allowing Australia to have nuclear power since it is a great supplier of uranium.
how about TAX DEDUCTIBLE household solar and batteries systems…..
Free
Numnuts Albo reckons we need renewables at the expense of the environment? He is rooting this country in his very short tenure
The CEO of Alinta doesn’t know what he is talking about. Renewable energy is the cheapest energy!!
Garbage, very expensive. Hence all the pricing!
@@ldnwholesale8552 Nope. You are wrong. Chris Bowen says renewables are the cheapest form of energy and he wouldn’t lie!🤭
How much are these power company CEO's making per year? Guarantee it's not a few hundred thousand dollars but rather in the million dollars range! What do they do for it, scribble/dictate/and press a few computer buttons. The worker's get a slightly higher than average wage and are too afraid to say anything bad about management in case they lose their jobs. This is the problem in Australia, management and CEO's receive an insane amount of money, his applies to all companies in Australia. The worker's get a wage determined by shareholders.
It's like the damage Allan Joyce made to Qantas on this 45 million dollars per year. Who in their right mind is worth paying 45 million to run a company? Are the majority of Australian's going to be taken for fools????
Look how perverted Turkey Bowen has become, he's delusional or a phycopathatic who needs to be in a secure mentle home.
Let's get real here and if you want to generate solar power, place solar panels on every home and businesses to generate power at no cost to Australian people. However this won't happen as it doesn't suit the beaurocrats and government ministers. It's the government that's sending Australia down the shit hole!!!
They can say and do what they like under parliamentary privilege and nothing happens to them. I'm ashamed to be called an Australian!!!
So why dont they build the solar panels over the irrigation chanels in Victoria.
This preserves land and reduces evaporation.😊
Archeology and Geology tells a very different story to the "leading climate experts"
Wow, doesn't Lizzie look SMACKO in her ROLEX Green dress. Extremely elligant. The Best .
Yay adults shouting over one another yet again
great work, Sky
We will get to the point with nuclear not these stupid solar panels
rewable energy is the dirtiest energy and the most destructive
Big ol side step of the saving the planet part of the concern
renewable to complement the reliable energy
Good to see two people with the same talking points agree on the same thing that panders to their audience. If it wasn’t for the fact that the 2v1 scenario was planned by the producers to make it seem like their argument had more weight than the 99:1 scientific consensus portrays, I would’ve said they had a compelling argument…
We need to see government investment move to R&D into cheaper energy solutions. Wind and solar will not do it.
How does fascism start? Bertrand Russell said, "First they fascinate the fools, then they muzzle the intelligent." Rupert Murdoch and his minions at work!
Justin Smith is a lefty who is losing it 😂
yeh its bs more more more more whens is it enough might as well be all hoimeless
You want it you buy it. 🤡🤪
What a muppet
Why when i can build a electric steam run multiple fuel turbine you on 18 century propetual motion at x4 the cost min what development keep talking especially when it came to bird life alone poor super state neyodium vs industry big bucks...
You can't have an adult discussion when you are talking to a FOOL.
Justin is more than a fool. I actually feel sorry for him. He's got to live with his stupidity every day.
Lmao, keep selling coal to ccp you mean Justin? 😂 Full of yourself chief.
