The Federal Government is reshaping the nation's approach to reducing carbon emissions, turning the focus to backing a select few technologies and supporting heavy industry.

Energy Minister Angus Taylor will announce the Government's new energy policy at the National Press Club on TuesdayIn his speech, Mr Taylor will state "Australia can't and shouldn't damage its economy to reduce emissions"

The NEG would have let the market determine how to meet targets on reliability and emissions reduction, while the Technology Investment Roadmap will fund particular approaches to helping industry reduce their emissions. For soil carbon, the goal is to reduce the cost of measurement to less than $3 per hectare per year, which would be a 90 per cent reduction.

The Federal Government also wants fast-track approval of methods to reduce emissions that can be funded by the Emissions Reduction Fund — in particular, soil carbon and carbon capture and storage. The Technology Investment Roadmap is the plan the Federal Government will present as Australia's long-term strategy for reducing emissions to the next round of global climate change talks, which was delayed this year because of the coronavirus pandemic.While the Government will focus almost all of its efforts on the five priority low-emissions technologies, the roadmap includes a hierarchy of other technological approaches to reducing emissions.

This plan is not on line with the best scientific evidence to create affordable renewable energy & cut carbon emissions. Refer to advice from the climate council. And where does PM keep finding failed ministers with very questionable records to trolley out to Australian public.

Good plan. Better than this nonsense of 0 emissions by 2050. That was a joke.

Fantastic. Great job. Well done Angus.

Industries who chose themselves?

Roadmap to mining mates overseas bank accounts more likely. Renewable storage, I thought the snowy hydro was the policy Angus Taylor!

So it's more corruption then

free market is not about giving corp welfare or taking over Liddell for gas power PM is fraudulently using the pandemic to launch ' gas led recovery' crap Gov fund for pipeline n gas plant The world has a glut of LNG

These are the traitors I was referring to earlier!

Picking winners lnp style

What’d you do today son? I dug a hole.

Didn’t the Morrison Government go to great lengths during the last election to tell us the energy solution would NOT be focused on a specific industry?

Propping up mates.

Specific industries = LNP donors MorrisonGasPlan

And the market?

carbon capture LNP style, use shitloads of precious water fracking the ground and extracting gas, while pumping methane exhaust 24/7 into the atmosphere.

bean counters, they should stop mining subsidies for a start

zyeah! Angus's latest Caymen Island hijinx effort to move tax payers funds offshore via his fossil fuel mates.

The ones the mates of the LNPCrimeFamily run?

Economics 101: Don't pick winners or losers

I thought that it chooses itself?

Mates? Benefits? Asking for journalists who Won’t ask.

Solar and wind are pretty basic now angustaylor

'Former Prime Minister Malcom Turnbull's National Energy Guarantee was the last time the Coalition attempted a new policy.' one policy in three years. they're not Liberals, they're Tories.

'... avoid 250 million tonnes of emissions [annually] by 2040...' Didn't Angus tell us Clover Moore uses 250 million tonnes of carbon just driving to the shops? It was downloaded straight from the City of Sydney web site!

This should be the picture on a crime stoppers ad.

Hope the definition of the ‘specific industries’ is not those that Angus’ family has the most shares in.

Hmmm, carbon capture works? Either ABC doesn't hire talented journalists or just don't want to be critical of LNP.

Specifically the ones owned by my mates.

But I thought Morrison's focus was on the Australian people 🤔

No insane stare from Angus Taylor is going to improve his integrity

Just use coal

But but but... The free market?

it's crazy how far-right the ABC has become

The trouble with a 'roadmap' is they're usually out-of-date.

Prime Minister steps up gas commitment | Sky News AustraliaEnergy company AGL was apparently on board to build a new gas station before the prime minister issued his energy ultimatum, according to Sky News Political Editor Andrew Clennell.\n\nScott Morrison said the government will build a gas power plant in the NSW Hunter Valley region if the private sector does not do it.\n\nThe prime minister said there needs to be 1,000 megawatts of new dispatchable capacity by 2023-24, which coincides with the closure of the Liddell power plant.\n\nAGL are now odds on to build this gas plant and it can never be proved whether or not they would have built it without the PM's threat,” Mr Clennell said.\n ScottMorrisonMP aclennell Bs ScottMorrisonMP aclennell How do you harness all the hot air in Canberra? ScottMorrisonMP aclennell AGL are the ones who bragged about closing inefficient, dirty coal generators then wanted to deface our most beautiful hillsides with inefficient German wind turbines... Isn't there anyone more trustworthy?
