Renewable resources are growing all the time in spite of government stupidity. Just today the owners of Liddell power station told the PM to go forth and multiply. They're going to close it down as planned and replace it with renewable power. Unlike the PM they have skin in the game and wouldn't chose renewables if they weren't the best way forward
RA, I agree with you re government stupidity. The energy debate in this country has become so politicized, you can absolutely guarantee without question that our fcukwit politicians will fcuk it up completely. It's a given.
However regards AGL and Liddell, they haven't chosen renewables because its the best way forward (from an emmissions point of view). AGL have concluded that there's more money to be made out of the subsidies attached to the RET bull****, than there is in keeping the plant open. It's as simple as that. Anything else they have said/will say, is bull****.
