Grattan Institute Energy Program Director Tony Wood says there were a couple of “very important steps” taken at a meeting in Canberra last week between the nation’s energy ministers.“But probably even more importantly … the fact that the ministers on Friday agreed to work together on this transformation plan, by itself I think is a very significant step forward,” he told Sky News Australia.
“It won’t be smooth. But you’d have to give credit to Chris Bowen and his energy colleagues that they’ve agreed to do that.”
Why are solar farms not on homes? No long distance transmission lines. The people will own their solar and sell more solar to the grid. Why doesn't the government do this. Is it because governments get kick backs?
The Grattan institute is a left wing political activist group though. It'd be pretty easy for serious journalists to research and explain the disaster that is Australian energy policy.
Pointless waste of time
Micro plastics cud be warming oceans and killing sea life. Ocean currents are only affecting certain parts of reefs yet others survive. Why? auspol
Not sure if they were very important steps but they were announcements, legislation and targets. But these same items were set all around the world for the last decade or so. Most were not met and the planets emissions have increased. So how will are govt get it right?
Has the intelligent universities done any research on how much heat these solar panels actually add to the planet and what affects it has to the cloud and global warming
It’s going to a ugly world
The idea that humans can control the climate with their CO2 emissions is an “absolute delusion”.
Grattan Institute thinking small...again. Australian National University estimates Australia has the potential of generating 27 times our energy needs through renewables. The excess to be exported to our Indo Pacific neighbors.
And Australia’s energy minister bowenchris labels new nuclear uneconomical. Maybe he should share his economic knowledge with energy ministers from other countries.
“Putting in and paying for capacity when we need it”, this means duplicating the generation system and having most of it offline waiting until the wind doesn’t blow and the sun doesn’t shine. Sounds as though we the consumers are going to pay a heavy price.
How to recycle these panels?

‘Unfettered power’: Scott Morrison just about ‘minister for everything’ as PMThe lack of transparency around former prime minister Scott Morrison secretly assuming power over a range of government portfolios is extraordinary, Sky News host Chris Kenny says. Mr Morrison secretly swore himself into additional portfolios during the pandemic which included health, finance and resources portfolios. 'Now you might be able to make a case for this doubling up of responsibility in a crisis – it's a big ask in my view,' Mr Kenny said. 'There still is a fundamental principle that has been completely ignored here – transparency. 'It is always unwise to give governments unfettered power.' I bet Morrison's boss Rupert knew

Liberals’ push for ‘progressive environment policy’ either ‘insures or confuses’Former Labor MP Michael Danby says it’s clear the NSW and Victorian Liberals are trying to adopt a more “progressive environment policy” to insure themselves against a repeat of the 'teals phenomena' seen in the federal election. “But I’m not sure whether it insures or confuses, and that’s the key point,” Mr Danby told Sky News host Chris Smith. “And what do we do – all of us, both sides of politics – when electricity prices go up, a hundred per cent, 200 per cent, including for manufacturing, as we adopt more expensive renewables?” Hunger Stones Google it and you will question the whole C Change narrative Big mistake. Insure themselves agains a repeat of the teals phenomena? Who is kidding who? Why not read the room, read the recent commentary in The Age about IBAC and actually do something about it!

‘Loneliest man in the world’: Xi Jinping the ‘judge, jury and executioner’The Centre for Independent Studies’ Salvatore Babones says Chinese President Xi Jinping is the “loneliest man in the world” because he has “no natural friends”. “Xi Jinping has three jobs: he’s the chairman of the Chinese Communist Party, he’s the president of China and he’s the chairman of the Central Military Commission of China,” Mr Babones told Sky News host Chris Smith. He said this makes him “judge, jury and executioner of the entire Chinese system”. “You don’t have a lot of friends when you’re putting all your friends in jail, you are lording it over them, you’re dividing them amongst themselves, amongst each other, and your approach to governance is to divide and rule.” Bit like murdoch 😉😂😂😂 He is not needed or wanted on this planet And soon to be Australia's leader when he invades

‘Angry Birds’ has nothing on ‘angry’ Joe Biden: PanahiAngry Birds – those irate wingless creatures hellbent on destruction – have nothing on an 'angry Joe Biden', Sky News host Rita Panahi says. 'Whether he's campaigning to be president or in the White House there's something a little unhinged about the big guy,' Ms Panahi said. Question please. How do I delete sky news from foxtel? Not one decent commentator. Meanwhile Trump is having a meltdown over the FBI retrieving all those secret documents. The real problem for the US is that the FBI was to late. According to this Putin already has his copies. You can almost taste that Walkley award with this story. Just journalistic gold Rita. Never change.

‘Doesn’t have much credibility’: AWU boss slams Littleproud over regional visa callsAWU National Secretary Daniel Walton says he's looking forward to Nationals Leader David Littleproud 'riding in on his one trick pony' to Labor's Jobs and Skills Summit with more calls for 'easily exploitable' regional visas. Mr Littleproud accepted an invitation from Treasurer Jim Chalmers to attend the industrial relations summit in September and vowed to put forward a raft of proposals. These include wanting to have changes made to certain welfare payments and the introduction of a regional visa to attract more migrants to regional Australia. Mr Walton accused Mr Littleproud of putting forward 'short term, easily exploitable visas' to solve the 'long term systemic problems' in the agricultural industry. 'This is the same guy who proposed an agriculture visa which was going to decimate our friends in the Pacific without any consultation to them,' Mr Walton told Sky News Australia. 'This guy doesn't have much credibility and once again is banging the same drum of failed policies from the previous government.' Seems labor has a one trick pony too - summits. Gee what a collaborative approach by the AWU secretary. sheer arrogance
