Take government subsidies away and most renewables are doomed. Find it so funny to read all the comments here, meanwhile Australia is still, and will forever be, exporting coal and gas. Poor fools who think we make any climate difference other than sending ourselves broke. What a joke!

Australia’s energy system is transitioning fast: • Coal is dying from economics, not activism. • Renewables are smashing records quarter after quarter. • The only thing “rising” for fossil fuels is subsidies, not actual investment or future viability. The headline is basically: “Coal is back!” Meanwhile the data says: “Mate, coal’s on life support and the government is paying the hospital bill.”

Funny you should say that 🤔 How is it that 90 % of our coal generators are going to retire by 2035 And no wants to build a new one ? Not even the Coalition! What aren’t you telling us Mal ? What are you hiding? You keep banging on about Net Zero Please EXPLAIN 🤣

Given the maintenance needed to keep old dinosaur coal plants running, the increased 'investment' is no surprise.

I admit, I'm pretty critical of your posts but using the Australian in a post about the truth in energy development is a big stretch.

Well ... Maybe take a look at how many companies have joined the RE100, NVIDIA, AMD, Microsoft, Apple, Amazon, IKEA,...etc, you name it, all of them require 100% renewable energy!

I was impressed with the pragmatism I saw on 8 hour fast train from Hong Kong to Beijing last month: thousands of solar panels, hundreds of wind turbines, several coal/gas power stations. Result driven not ideological.

That claim has been debunked.

Common sense trumps fairytale ideology EVERYTIME.

WHAT IS TRUTH — AND WHY ARE YOU AFRAID OF IT? Looking into the Mirror | Breaking the mental code. Reclaiming root access. Let's start with something simple. You need air to breathe. You need water to live. The sky is blue. A mountain that stood for five million years is real — and if an earthquake reduces it to rubble tomorrow, that flat plain becomes the new reality. For everyone. No debate. No opinion required. That is truth. It doesn't need your permission. It doesn't care about your beliefs. It simply is. And here's what most people have never been shown — truth is actually simple. It's lies that are complicated. Lies require maintenance, layers, reinforcement, and eventually — collapse. Truth just sits there. Unchanged. Waiting. So why does the world feel so confusing? BEFORE WE GO FURTHER — A MOMENT OF HONESTY If you feel uncomfortable reading this, good. That discomfort is not a warning to stop. It's a signal that something real is being touched. This isn't an attack on you. This is an invitation to stand beside yourself at the mirror and look — maybe for the first time — without flinching. That takes courage. Most people never do it. You're still here, so let's go. THE MIRROR MOST PEOPLE AVOID We are one species. One conscious, breathing, interconnected organism on a single planet. At the deepest level of physics and biology — we are the same recycled stardust, the same energy, the same life force wearing different faces. Every indigenous culture that ever existed knew this. Ecology proves it. Quantum physics points to it. That is objective reality. But layered on top of that reality is something else entirely — a manufactured world of constructs, abstractions, and systems that have been so normalised, most people defend them as natural law. They are not. 10 THINGS THAT ARE NOT TRUTH — BUT ARE SOLD AS IF THEY ARE 1. That you must pay to exist. No other species on this planet is born into financial obligation. A wolf doesn't owe rent on the forest. An eagle needs no licence to fly. Only humans have constructed a system where your right to occupy the earth you were born onto is metered, billed, and enforced. You were handed this "reality" before you could speak. You never agreed to it. 2. Land was always owned. It wasn't. For most of human history, land was shared. The enclosure movements of the 1500s onwards deliberately fenced off common land that communities had freely lived on for centuries — forcing self-sufficient people into dependency and labour. Manufactured scarcity. By design. 3. Money is real. Banks create money from nothing — literally typing numbers into existence — then charge interest on it. The money to repay that interest is never created. Collective debt can mathematically never be fully cleared. The scarcity you feel is engineered, not natural. 4. Indigenous people were primitive. Cultures that lived without money, debt, or land ownership — often for tens of thousands of years — were called backwards by the very civilisation that has brought us to ecological collapse in a few centuries. Think carefully about who was actually primitive. 5. Nature needs managing. The rainforest runs the most complex, efficient, waste-free system on Earth — no currency, no hierarchy, no boardroom. It is the actual blueprint. We didn't improve on it. We're dismantling it. 6. Free energy was impossible. Nikola Tesla designed a system for free wireless energy for all of humanity. Funding was pulled the moment investors realised there was no way to put a meter on it. The technology wasn't the problem. The profit model was. 7. Rest is a privilege. You now need money to stop moving. Homelessness is criminalised in most cities — meaning to legally exist in stillness, you must pay someone for the right to do it. You cannot even pause without permission. 8. Debt is inherited naturally. A child draws its first breath already carrying a share of national debt it never agreed to, never created, and was never consulted about. Born owing. To an abstraction. 9. We are separate. The deepest, most persistent lie. Separation is the engine of every system of control ever built. Divide people by race, class, nation, religion — and they never look up long enough to see who benefits from the division. Interconnection is the truth. Separation is the product. 10. This is just how it is. This is the masterpiece. Not force. Not law. Just the quiet internal voice that says this is normal, this is reality, this is how it has always been. The cage that feels like home. The most sophisticated control mechanism ever deployed — normalisation. THE MIND TRICKS KEEPING THE CAGE LOCKED Dunning-Kruger — the less someone has genuinely examined a system, the more confidently they defend it. The person who has never questioned money is absolutely certain the economy makes sense. The person who has never examined law is certain it's legitimate. Confidence without depth is the loudest voice in the room — and the least reliable. The Identity Cage — your beliefs, opinions, and worldview become fused with your sense of self over a lifetime. So when truth challenges a belief — it doesn't feel like an intellectual correction. It feels like a personal attack. The ego defends the lie because the lie is the identity. This is why truth is uncomfortable. It's not that people can't see it. It's that seeing it requires letting go of who they think they are. Manufactured Consensus — if everyone around you accepts something as real, the neurological pressure to conform is immense. We are social creatures. Dissent feels dangerous at a biological level. The system knows this. It relies on it. SO WHAT IS ACTUALLY REAL? You exist. You are conscious. You are connected to every living thing on this planet whether you feel it or not. You need air, water, food, rest, and connection — none of which required a financial system for 99% of human history. Everything else — money, debt, ownership, borders, permission, nationality, the idea that you owe your existence to an institution — is a story. A very old, very well maintained, very aggressively defended story. That doesn't make it powerless. Stories can imprison people for lifetimes. But a story is not truth. Truth is the mountain. Truth is the air. Truth is the quiet fact that you were born free onto a planet that produced everything you need — and somewhere along the way, someone put a price on it and called it civilisation. So ask yourself — what have you accepted as real that you never actually chose? Sit with that. Don't rush past it. Because the moment you can honestly answer that question — something shifts. Not out there. In here. That's where it starts. That's where it has always started. The truth doesn't need you to believe it. It just needs you to stop believing the lie. The mirror is right here. The only question is — are you ready to look? Looking into the Mirror — Breaking the mental code. Reclaiming root access.

Great news!

Nice One! Our Lady! Our Diamond Girl! Our National Treasure! OUR SUN!

The empirical data suggests that there is no direct correlation between yourself or the truth.

"Hormuz Shutdown Sends Capital Flooding Back Into Renewables" - from an oil industry source this week! oilprice.com/Latest-Energy-News/World-News/Hormuz-Shutdown-Sends-Capital-Flooding-Back-Into-Renew...

Quoting a Murdoch rag as your source… good luck with that🙄

Here's what the 21st century's preeminent superpower is doing. Renewables are actually bigger than this projection due to advances in PV and battery technology.

For a Senator you are not really that smart at analysing figures are you? The data actually says otherwise in contradiction to the Australian. Surprise Surprise.

Coal for me, until small modular nuclear reactors are up and running. Read this: According to the Net Zero Australia study, achieving net-zero emissions by 2060 would require an investment of approximately $7 to $9 TRILLION (a trillion is a thousand billion!) in domestic energy and industrial infrastructure, at which point it reaches its useby date and needs replacement .This estimate encompasses the expansion of renewable energy generation, transmission infrastructure, hydrogen supply chains, and other related sectors. (Melbourne Energy Institute) $9,000,000,000,000! 9 thousand billion!!!

How about the data on the cost of climate change?

Stop schilling for big business and try looking to the future Senator.

Here’s the playbook again. Post an article from right wing media and try and pass it off as truth.

I’ll trust scientists and professionals over capitalists taking a punt to gain more wealth now, forsaking the earth for future generations. Investment in renewables stalling is proof of greed, that’s it

What a brilliant man Malcolm Roberts is. Investigating issues that ordinary people can't understand.

Well done Malcolm fir speaking out about this corrupt UN

Just like you use concocted scare stories to jack up support.

The walls are starting to crumble.

Then create a Federal insurance scheme.

Mad Malcolm spreading disinformation again. Picking and choosing bits of information to please his sheeples.

Posting conspiracy memes is hardy siting a reputable source, but Gramps here, never lets facts get in the way of a good delusion.

And storms that are deliberately geoengineered

Of course it was a scam and one that a lot of countries are still going ahead with . It’s time to round up these globalist psychopaths and prosecute them for crimes against humanity . Just how far are the authorities going to let them get away with. ?

💯

Politicians should retire at seventy

So will insurance premiums be reduced.....not on your Nellie!!

Like ON fabricating scary stories that they have some say in politics.

Who owns the insurance companies?

i have been saying this since climate change was called the hole in the ozone layer. i am just old enough to have a vague memory of the acid rain that melted everyone's face off. how has everyone not worked out the un is run by satan in human form

Most of us remember how far back this climate propaganda goes back. It started with the Ozone layer and I’m pretty sure that was back in the 90’s. Our ozone layer still looks pretty good to me! Then the icecaps were melting. Yes they are melting but not like how they make them out to be. Now climate change. They’re right, the climate changes 4 times per year in most countries. Australia, especially CQ through to central WA upwards, the climate changes twice per year. Now to the nitty gritty of changing climate. The Earth’s plates are on the move. Naturally as the plates move, the climate will change depending on where the plate stops moving. Australia is moving 7cm North per year. That may not sound like much, but this when countries can be torn apart and 7cm per year is considered a lot although we’ve been on this move for about 45 million years now. Where will we stop?? When we hit China maybe! 🤷🏼‍♀️ Australia has been drifting north at a rate of roughly 7cm per year for about 45 million years. This journey began when the continent broke away from Antarctica and started riding the Indo-Australian tectonic plate northward.This continuous drift makes Australia the fastest-moving continental landmass on Earth. Because the movement is so significant over time, it gradually causes coordinates used in mapping and GPS networks to fall out of sync with reality. For example, a discrepancy of more than \(1.5\) meters prompted the Australian government to officially shift national GPS coordinates to realign with global positioning systems. But they’ll come up with more BS propaganda to try and install fear in us all. Don’t buy their BS!! Btw, America has never been to the moon! The mountain in the background of the old black and white footage was found in Arizona.. the exact same mountain. Pssst.. the moon doesn’t have mountains, it has inverted craters!

Bullshit Stumpy. Trumps Hormuz fuck up has sparked the greatest global push for energy independence through renewables yet. Suck it up troglodytes. 🐐

Agenda 20/30 can someone repost the link for all to read?

Do we need Prof Cox to tear your arguments apart again?

Stop spreading misinformation ya d*ckhead
