Sky News host Chris Kenny says Australia’s Chief Scientist Dr Alan Finkel presented a “fascinating” and “insightful” assessment of Australia’s energy needs now and into the future. Talking at the National Press Club on Wednesday, Dr Finkel renewed calls for Australia to focus on the production of hydrogen as a viable energy source for the future.
“Today … he was realistic about the economic and engineering task of cutting emissions in the energy sector by switching to renewables," Mr Kenny said. “Again he explained the obvious, it'll take decades because it's impossible now, wind and solar are intermittent and we can't store enough of their power at reasonable cost".

Gas-fired power will ‘save Australia’ | Sky News AustraliaSky News host Chris Kenny says amid the debate surrounding the feasibility of renewables and coal, it will actually be “gas-fired power that saves the day in Australia”. \n\nMr Kenny said Tuesday’s parliamentary sitting saw more of federal politicians “tearing themselves apart” over coal-fired generation. \n\nGovernment MPs continue to trade blows after Prime Minister Scott Morrison announced $4 million funding for a feasibility study into a new coal plant in Collinsville.\n\nMr Kenny said the discussion around a new coal plant is 'is not the be-all and end all when it comes to our energy need”. \n\n“With so much renewable power already in place … and with all the climate activism, it will be gas-fired power that saves the day in Australia.\n\n“More coal-fired baseload power would be a good thing … [but] the sooner we get plenty of fast-start gas generation the better.” \n It's a shame we can't use all the hot air produced by Chris Kenny to generate electricity. Nuclear hear and now.. Saves what day? Why can't the rest of Australia do what SA did with renewables and a battery - and enjoy lower electricity costs as well?

Australia is 'routinely slammed' for emissions reductions by the 'climate cult' | Sky News AustraliaSky News host Peta Credlin says the “one-sided climate protests” which predominantly target Australia and “Trump’s America”, show how the “climate cult is less about reducing emissions than affirming belief”.\n\nBoth Australia and the US have reduced the carbon emissions by “13 per cent since 2005,” a stark contrast to Canada led by the “ultra-woke” Justin Trudeau who have cut emissions by only two per cent in the same time.\n\nAlthough Australia is “routinely slammed” for reportedly “not doing enough”, it is “one of very few countries” who have reliably met its emissions targets, Ms Credlin said.\n\nThe “climate zealots”, said the Sky News host, believe meeting emissions reductions targets - “as Australia is doing' - is not “nearly as important” as proclaiming that “climate change is the world’s gravest problem”.\n\n“We shouldn't allow the climate zealots to misrepresent the facts because compromising our economic fundamentals to strike a pose overseas is a betrayal of our countries future security,” said Ms Credlin.\n\nImage: Getty\n So true credlin CREDLIN PULL YOUR HEAD IN Odd.

Nancy Pelosi wanted 'her big Twitter moment' by ripping up Donald Trump's speech | Sky News AustraliaNancy Pelosi is a “giant sook” who tried to achieve a “big Twitter moment” when she ripped up US President Donald Trump’s State of the Union address according to Sky News host Paul Murray. \n\nPresident Trump’s address made mention of numerous successes under his administration including the record-low unemployment rate and his foreign policy with China.\n\n'What of course she was doing was tearing up a document that had a whole bunch of shout-outs to people who are way more impressive than any politician in the United States,' Mr Murray said. \n\n'I get it, she hates Trump,' he said. \n\nPanelist and fellow Sky News host Graham Richardson said Nancy Pelosi's actions were 'crazy' and that she should have had more 'respect for the Office'. \n\n'And by doing what she did you are downgrading the Office of President of the United States,' Mr Richardson said. \n\nImage: Getty Guess what, fool, it worked! It looked childish and quite frankly amateurish. What happened to being the better person? Paul Murray is a giant sook who can't stand women of power. Need a tissue bro?

Australians are being 'completely dudded' by the ABC: Rowan Dean | Sky News AustraliaSky News host Paul Murray says the ABC should find its “own cloth to cut” rather than going with a “begging bowl to a prime minister” it was more than happy to “throw under the bus every single night over the bushfires”.\n\nABC Chair Ita Buttrose has requested more taxpayer funding for the media organization on the grounds of its performance during the bushfire crisis, but Sky News host Rowan Dean says this has to “shine a spotlight” on the ABC.\n\n“Australians have got to wake up to the fact that we’re being completely dudded by the ABC,” Mr Dean said.\n\nMr Dean told Mr Murray Australians “should be offered the choice to pay for the ABC if they want it”.\n\n“The quality of what was once a great organisation has gone through the toilet”.\n\nImage: News Corp Australia Right, so the ABC has to kiss up to SloMo the absent PM or else?
