- Data from the Clean Energy Council should make for “sombre reading” for Energy Minister Chris Bowen as he “rockets around the country desperately selling his climate plans”, says Sky News host Steve Price.
This comes after The Australian reported on Wednesday that according to the council, investment in renewable energy projects over the past 12 months has collapsed.
“Fact one, last year, 2023, spending on large-scale renewable energy projects fell by 80 per cent from the previous year,” Mr Price said.
"Fact two, investment in big solar and wind projects ... plummeted to just $1.5 billion in 2023 down from $6.5 billion the year before.
"Fact three, big wind farms were hit hardest - now remember Bowen spends his out of parliament time spruiking big wind - well guess what, there were no new financial commitments ... to the big wind projects in 2023 after six the year before."
A handful of 'lucky' people making a truckload of money on the taxpayers dollar. Unsustainable!
That's the point. Remove any power or resources the elite can from everyone else before they begin reducing us in numbers through more obvious and evil means. They hate us because we exist and are less and less useful to them. They see us as filth they have to support and deal with. Funny thing is they are working to destroy us by mass importing the filth of other countries which depend even more on taking from the rich and even the lower class. Thing is you don't need to be rich to have a good life just middle to upper middle class. Anything past that is a waste of money and to much power for anyone to have. We shouldn't have billionaires at all outside of countries and maybe some companies that are watched and regulated.
Someone once said 'Chiiina"
Ie Twiigy Forrest its essentially free profit and a ticket to mine the Taxpayers pockets
Renewables a way of "shifting" more of taxpayers money ..
Yep to Wayne Swan and co
As if, he's too stubborn and hell bent on pushing this BS through.
There must be a nice little bonus on offer waiting for him.
A job down the track.
Backhander Bowen strikes again
He's union mates
After over 100 years of continuous failure all around the world, who could have possibly thought that Socialism would also disastrously fail in Australia?
Technically not socialism, it is corporate fascism merger of corporate and govt and return to serfdom
@@ZELJKO472corporate Fascism is just another type of socialism. Corporates are of the body of the State (Corporal). Mussolini merely tried to reinvent socialism.
They have no choice but to try and force socialism because idiots are determined to force things like AI and feel the need to have the land owned by only a few which means the only way humans can exist is through the handful of powerful supporting everyone else. It's funny how they will complain about how we are all reliant on them but then they keep making it impossible for us to stand on our own and make enough to support ourselves. Yes there are some who will always leech rather than work but that's not the majority of at least it wasn't until society and the elites made things so . Each day we get closer to a world where there's no way forward for most and the suggestion that we kill most of the world population including ourselves looks more reasonable because the powerful want it so. Tech itself can help or harm and for some reason it keeps being used to harm these days.
@@ZELJKO472 Agree. Some people try to define fascism as more to do with racism but I prefer your definition,
@@connorduke4619It was the USSR and its apologists in the west that tried to redefine fascism as predominantly concerned with racism, to draw attention away from the fact that the Nazis were socialists and that prior to WW2, Hitler was celebrated as a hero of the left. This should be a salutary lesson in the effective application of propaganda.
Finally reality has caught up with ideology.
A five year old could tell you it’s insane madness. Irresponsible to the max it’s just soo silly!! We will be building new coal and gas power stations in Australia in the mot too distant future FACT!
Just need the Dullards in Canberra to swallow their pride and get on with it. If it's OK to export coal then it's OK to use it in Australia.
Already happening in Europe 😂
Big wind = Bowen.
If Bowen were in private business enterprise he would have had dozens of failed businesses.
82% Green by 2030??? 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 and they say pigs fly...............
If they could fly, they'd probably get killed by a wind turbine....
Pigs do fly!! In private jets and parades of huge SUVs….oh…ya…sorry,those are politicians 🤔
Even if Labor specimens could read...they don't listen 😂
A friend of mine is a engineer and energy specialist now retired we spent a day together 10 days ago he stated net 0 is a joke unachievable and EV situation is laughable I can see why solar would be a benefit in Australia for home energy but my friend and I definitely think we have gone down the wrong path fortunately for us both we are both in a senior years and will not see the disaster we are heading for another generation will have to deal with it .
Sounds like every problem coming down the line. All of them caused by the older generations and now younger ones forced to deal with it while any skills or ability to do so has been taken from them so they can't.
@@l33tninja1 Its the younger generation causing the problems.
We didnt have 4 cars in a family, 5 TV's. a holiday to bali every year and the desire to outsource everything.
We didnt consume power like it is today.
We grow our own vegies.
We cook our own food.
We go to work every day.
The new generations are driving this, not mine.
When we die, we hand all our shit down the line and we are the problem.
@@l33tninja1The only problem here is the uneducated XYZ generation you lot can't add let alone spell with proper Grammer !
@@l33tninja1 You are so full of sh*t
We still should be pursuing good clean, very reliable and economical coal power that generate beautiful sine wave power. No the rubbish power the so called renewables generate.
We need nuclear power wind turbines and solar panels are just a eyesore
Not to mention how many are actually require just to generate the same amount of electricity as a single coal plant, let alone a single nuclear (or is it nukilla? 😉) plant.
It’s insane.
and the amount of extra oil required to build the renewables
To replace a standard power station of 4 x 2 megawatt generators it takes about 20 million solar panels which takes up almost 15,000 hectares of arable farmland or wildlife habitat which doesnt seem to bother any of the pollies or Eco freaks..@@nathantudor5763
Can anyone tell me how snowy pumped hydro is going?
Election PLEASE.
Let's get rid of this 1 term disaster Green-labor.
I think it's currently ticking over at $200M per metre tunnelled with about 27 km to go...
Mr Morrison signed us up for Net Zero and then the feckless ALP then doubled down on it.
The LNP needs to make it their official policy to withdraw Australia from the Paris Accord, repeal the renewable energy targets legislation and use the most economical energy resources available.
As much as I would love to see the back of these morons I think they will probably get another term. Albo will throw out some candy before he goes to an election and everyone will say, Albo is a good bloke, let’s give him another go. Always happens, very rare to get a one term Government.
How much do these solars panels cost us to put on? It’s not value for money. Time they sewed the labour and greens politics pockets down. That way they can’t fill their pockets. The tailors need to charge them heaps for that.
Finally, big money has worked out that a failing economy, will not be able to pay for the promised ROI, for environment destroying wind and solar factories. 🤣🤣🤣
The tough will be refilled by the taxpayer.
No, at some point Socialists run out of spending other people's money Exhibit A: the People's Republic of Victoria.
Renewables have a high upfront cost and we are moving into higher cost of capital world.
And a high cost after how ever many years they last before needing to be replaced.
,,,,,and they have much higher maintenance costs, and replacement costs.
Thailand population 70+ million
Power generation capacity in1000 gigawatt hours
Natural gas 129.4
Coal 30.43
Imported fuel 32.81
Renewable En 23.18
Hydro 6.59
Diesel 0.88
Fuel oil 0.01
So with a population of 25 million.is Australia going down the renewable track
Taxpayer funded??
Building costs have gone up a lot
Pushing a disposable economy/society doesn't affect billionaires one bit, your the zero their looking for. Wake up to the BS..!
Can Chris read?
Clown school does not teach reading. Clown school teaches lying etc.
No problem, they will just use taxpayer funds.
Hope Bowen will eat more beans to give us more wind when needed 😂
There is no emergency. Its a fairy tale
Money talks BS walks.
Can Chris Bowen read? I was told he is illiterate.
Clueless Chris is at it again.
Big wind big disaster. Folly of gas bags.
I live in Texas: In 2022, Texas produced the equivalent of 31% of the electricity it consumes from solar, wind and geothermal power.
Dr. Taylor Collins is an energy economics researcher at the University of Incarnate Word, and the chair of the Economics & Management department. He says the process to get renewable energy across Texas isn’t flawless.
“There’s occasional bottlenecks where we don’t really have the transmission lines to distribute from West Texas through the entirety of the state as reliably as we need to through some of the peak energy hours,” Collins said.
Solar energy has become efficient, bringing down the cost per kilowatt hour. But when it’s not sunny, solar’s reliability gets shaky.
“At least in the short term, the biggest problem with the renewable approach is that the battery storage isn’t there to support it,” Collins said.
Batteries and the aging electrical grid are huge roadblocks right now.
Sombre or sober? There is a difference.
Are government going to add to the shortfall from taxes?
Do they think they will still be in power after the next election
Investment in wind power in UK has also dried up, up, and solar in UK during October to March is all but invisible ( HINT, lawns in UK stop growing in October and start again in March ). The windfarm owners claim they are making no money, and want much higher prices for their intermittent electricity situated a long way from the main grid in isolated places, making it expensive to get power actually into the grid anyway. I am fed up of hearing from greenies how cheap wind power is, maybe the wind is cheap but the the infrastructure to tap into the weak and unreliable energy stream is very expensive.
Ideology over common sense always fails.
Australia ...always a dollar short and a day late.I was warning people about this months ago exactly the same thing has happened in the UK and USA .The writing is on the wall
Aluminium smelters who are Australia’s largest user of electricity will launch a tender soon for wind and solar generated electricity. The majority owner is saying nuclear is out of the question because it is too slow and too expensive. The majority owner has sold their coal operations and closed their uranium mine in the Northern Territory. If hard-nosed resource companies are not supporting nuclear power - Toxic Ted and Plutonium Pete have a significant marketing problem.
Can you imagine the amount of unplanned days off people would get if 82% "renewables" energy was reached? That's until all the businesses folded and then the work/ life balance would be a lovely 100% life. Just no money to live it.
My, my, my. Thats why socialism is a massive, dangerous whit elephant. But lets not let the coalition off the hook. Net zero policies are fools gold. The job is there if you want it mr Dutton.
"Big Wind" is a good way to describe the labor government
Remember nearly 5, 6 years ago on radio saying don't go down this track. As Germany had done same thing before us and it had failed miserably. Did the politicians listen.
Problems relate to the variability of frequency of wind will corrupt the grid . A free for all on turbines could result in a very reduced supplies. Batteries that stabilise will cost £30 trillion .
What is wrong with Sky News Australia, surely they must know Chris Bowen can't read!
Albo and Bowen is driving Australia off the cliff thinking to go green you need all you tax money to do it not market forces or choices.
Renewables up to 39.4% of energy up 10% in a single year. Impressive.
2030 .Brownouts Blackouts. load sharing and loss of major industry in Australia, unless we wake up before then and either build coal fired power stations or nuclear.
It's never been about the cost, its about the idealology, look at me look what I did when I was in politics narcissism 101
Say no to renewables
Meanwhile, in California, where we have been putting up wind turbines since the 1980s, wind is supplying 5.8% of the electrical capacity in the grid.
Grid Capacity: 37,445 MW, wind supplying 2200 MW.
Wait a minute..........HE CAN READ??!!
Steve,
Here in Central QLD We are Somehow, Building the Rudd Solar Power Station, Minimum 2500 Square Kilometres on Mined Out Coal Land.
Steve Price this is Urgently Needed, Somehow ?.
WE ARE DOOMED WITH ALBOZZZZZZZZZO & BONEHEAD BOWHEN DOING THIS SHYT..
Banal Bowen
Hot tip, start investing in candles. Mint option for future wealth, it time to corner the market.
I'm walking my battery daily, just to drop my power bill.
It's stupid. The costs of battery should be far above grid power.
Wow ABC insiders have a different opinion but that’s nothing to worry about 😂
Bowen is an ideologue so he doesn't need to read anything.
Eliminate emissions from govt and this would solve all problems.
What going to happen when all the windmill and solar panels come to end of life, Bowen will have a big rubbish dump across Australia because they are not recyclables
Our kids will pay for all this mal investment for a generation.
If renewables are mean to be cheaper for all of us then why are my electricity bills going up?
The only renewables that make any kind of sense are hydro, pumped hydro and possibly tidal hydro.
Geo thermal has potential if there’s places with suitable geology near enough to population centres to make it affordable and practical.
Why is Bowen still in the job, worse still why is Albo still in the job???
South australia has shown it can be done. The road to any major change is never smooth
SA has the most expensive power in the country and not by a little bit either
Wind has a low energy density and wind power is centuries out of date. Wind farms only exist due to massive taxpayer funded subsidies. They make no economic sense. They are a colossal waste of taxpayers money and resources (including coal and oil).
Solar panels are only economical as a supplement in sunny areas between the 35th parallels. Even in favourable areas there is a major mismatch between peak supply and peak demand. Inclement weather can render them useless for prolonged periods.
We should withdraw from the Paris Accord, repeal the renewable energy targets legislation and use the most economical energy, transportation and agricultural resources available. Nuclear power plants should be legalised. India tested the atomic bomb and had nuclear power plants in the early 1970s. Luddites are ruling the roost in this country and making it a laughing stock.
Note aside :- The refining of quartz sand into solar panel grade silicon metal inevitable releases half again carbon dioxide by weight than the metal achieved. The laws of chemical reaction are a confounded nuisance. Also, some 95% of solar panels come from China, so, even though the sand refining takes place in electric arc furnaces, the electricity is probably coal-based. It is this combination, plus all the diesel-powered transport costs, that leads many people to reflect that it takes some 20 years for a solar panel to repay its "carbon-dioxide debt".
Interesting fact; most of Alice Springs and Tennant Creeks electricity, comes from Diesel and Gas generators! Get an EV in the red centre, and charge it at night, and you're buring much more Diesel, than if you were running a V8 Diesel vehicle! 🤣🤣🤣
Follow the money
"It was a strong year for rooftop solar and utility scale storage in 2023, and overall figures for capacity added are up on 2022, though there has been a significant slowdown in new financial commitments to large- scale generation."...."A new-record 5.9 GW of renewable capacity was added to the grid in 2023, up from 5 GW in 2022." Clean Energy Council... It's clear that renewable energy will continue to grow and the ordinary Australian shows this when 3.5 million of them have added solar panels on their houses... the highest per capita in the WORLD! Sadly Steve doesn't understand the great majority of Australians have brains. The best solar panels can generate 400+ watts and last 40 years and you just have to put it in front on the only and MASSIVE nuclear reactor that we need, the SUN... and collect an enormous amount of electricity for free! Its a no-brainer!
A compact high output power supply is the best Oh wait we already have them
Umm has anyone told blackout Bowen that on a good day in summer the sun only powers the solar panels from 8am till roughly 7pm , then do they have enough battery backup (like hills full of them) to power Australia, wind turbines alone wont be enough and what about cloudy days and winter, yes bad call Bowen and Albo (AKA Elmer Fudd) is even worse
When the people that came late to the pyramid scheme figure out there aren't enough suckers left to make them rich.
Should we put a halt to building massive Solar Farms? There has not enough research being done on the effects of building these farms. Solar panel farms are giant heat producers. They produce 85% heat and only 15% electricity.
The heat which is produced continuously hour after hour cannot be seen because it is above the solar farm and this heat can travel. Scientist refer to it as ‘The Photovoltaic Heat Island Effect: The University of Arizona School of Geography and Development is doing research to determine just how far away from solar power plants the temperature increase reach’s.
Scientist believe exposing the large black surface to the sun and the amount of heat they produce could change weather patterns and produce heat waves, increased flooding, severe storms and drought.
Bowen won't read it for two reasons: 1. He is not open to scientific reason on renewables
2. If its more than one page Labour politicians don't read it, ask Albosleezy about the Uluru statement. Its the vibe don't you know..
So, it looks a though Australia is largely continuing its pathetic and irresponsible response to the climate crisis, whilst the rest of the world continues to transition to cleaner energy sources. Australia isn't exactly short of solar energy and has large areas of semi-desert land that could be used for solar farms, but the misinformation from the fossil fuel lobby seems determined to keep Australia using dirty 19th century technology for its energy supply. Per capita carbon emissions have at least begun to fall in Australia, but it still has amongst the highest per capita emissions of large countries in the world 15.0 Tonnes/person/year (along with the USA (14.9) and Canada (14.2)) compared with 8 T/p/y for China, 4.7 T/p/y for UK and 2.0T/p/y for India).
GOING GREEN 💚💚🌱🌱
So many little drops makes an OCEAN or SEA
old adage, watch out for low flying pigs
I'm voting with my $ and putting up solar panels to harness some of the nuclear energy being discharged by the sun😁.
Paying my tax upfront.
Have a look at Tesla plants lol they have 4 solar panels and none work they run off the grid.
Renewables don't renew very much. They will leave us with a severe power shortage.
Nyet zero !
Well Bowens a dummy & has access to our money !!
But can bowan read?
Bowen and Labor are engaged in a war against the true costs of their transition to net zero
They are relying on an AEMO Report that quotes a $12 billion figure
But this cost does not include the transitioning of the grid upgrades to cope with the electrification they expect to occur
This grid expansion will be expensive because of the cost involved due to the unstable nature of renewables
ANEMO and Bowen refuse to acknowledge the unstable nature of renewables and the implications for the grid
They refuse to acknowledge that Nuclear is only expensive to build but in the long run, it becomes the cheapest for consumers and industry
They refuse to include the blowout costs of Snowy Hydro Two and everything else, catering for network transport, the costs of consumer owners' home battery systems feeding into the grid, consumers are buying in huge numbers to avoid energy costs and event-increasing State power blackouts
Bowen and Labor are engaged in a deceitful campaign of avoiding the true costs of network integration costs in their campaign against Nuclear and the fact that Australians are paying the world's highest power bills in the world
Sorry but I'm going to believe that CSIRO and the people running the grid have a better grasp on the economic and engineering issues here than do politicians or Sky News. Or you.
@@gibbonsdp
You are sucked in by Chris Bowen’s view that an ever-increasing share of renewables will lead to a reduction in power prices which rests solely on one document: the CSIRO’s GenCost
The CSIRO GenCost report doesn't tell you that the government’s self-imposed deadline of 82 per cent renewables by 2030 is just a pipe dream
or that the vital issue for ordinary Australians is keeping the lights on while the country fights over its climate change response. The reality is that Australia can only do both - by using nuclear in the mix if we are to eliminate fossil fuels
Labor is weaponizing the CSIRO GenCost report by claiming only renewables are the cheapest form of energy.
Renewables are cheapest for investors, but not for consumers.” Nuclear coste are higher in the beginning put over the long term Nuclear is cheaper for consumers, businesses, and Industry
@@graemekeeley4497 As I said, I believe people who know what they are talking about. But thanks for your interest.
Labor will tap into the industry superannuation funds for the net zero folly.
Don’t be surprised if the “higher” ladder and escalator industry super adverts don’t get shown. 💵🕳
But what about "green " jobs??? Millions of them. For all the jobs lost in aluminum industry
It is an endless grift
@@ZELJKO472yep the grift that keeps on grifting
Five story tall wind turbines? Well, they’re not going to work if they’re that small.
The Russians who are fighting Ukaine came through Chernobyl and many have died from the effects of radiation.
Apart from the fact technology and control systems have improved vastly in 40 years, Chernobyl was a self inflicted stupidity they conduted a stupid experiment and paid the price. Beyond that most issues are due to natural disasters something a geostable country like Australia does has to worry about
AUSTRALIA WILL NOT BE GOING NUCLEAR - FORGET IT !
your wrong and short sighted, Trump 2024
Explain to the people what a Fabian Marxist is.
Same chit happening in Canada!
So one newspaper in the group reports a problem that the other picks up on. Have you seen the latest report on coral bleaching? I’d say that’s far more concerning than anything about renewables to support dinosaur fuels
Love it or leave it, lefty 😊
Don't you know there has been a cyclone or 2 this year, everytime we have one the coral get damage cause of shallow water. But the Reef fund must have spent the 430 million that turncoat gave them, nothing wrong with the Reef, I work on it, nothing but lies
CORAL REEF ALWAYS REGENERATE AFTER BLEACHING
IT THE NORMAL CYCLE
ITS JUST GREEN IDIOTS SCAREMONGERING AS USUAL
JUST IGNORE THE HALFWITS
There have been reports on coral bleaching for the past THIRTY years, all bogus. Local divers consistently reported there was nothing wrong with the reef. All one big money making scheme. Turnbull gave a small reef foundation 440 million dollars!!!! to 'study the reef'. They're living the life of Riley.
Coral bleaching happens with mundane regularity and means absolutely nothing. The GBR is healthier than it's ever been, and of monumental unimportance.
