Are you saying that they fall or stay steady in every country that doesn't have wind or solar?

Seems many people need to touch the seat despite the sign “wet paint”

Same with inflation mate.

Just fyi, these are rhe average wholesale generation costs in Australia

While the article's framing highlights the steep initial price hike involved in replacing the coal fleet to meet net-zero targets, the broader CSIRO report explicitly points out that a renewable-dominated system (backed by wind, solar, and storage) remains the most cost-effective long-term pathway compared to alternative power options like nuclear, which would face even higher development costs.

You know what's funny back in the 80s the Electricity was so cheap and reliable from the Coal power stations that the people still could pay 19% on their mortgage and Live

Can we not take advantage of natural light and power sources? Why is electricity more expensive when renewables are propping up supply?

Correlation does not equal causation. Many events have occurred to cause prices to go up. Do you want to blame solar for the price of cigarettes going up too?

My renewables including the trees that regenerate and also create the OXYGEN WE NEED FROM THAT NASTY CO2 AND SUNLIGHT STRANGLY ENOUGH CO2/TREES/ SUNLIGHT ARE BEING LOWERED BY MAN and THATS A GOOD THING PHOTOSYNTHESIS NEEDS ALL 3 OF THE ELEMENTS THEY ARE TRYING TO LOWER TO PRODUCE THE OXYGEN EVERY LIVING BREATHING CREATURE REQUIRES TO LIVE Something to think about

Once we get there and it’s all set up it’ll be well worth the expenditure that’s the bit You don’t understand. You have no plans for the future. 

The “housing policy” is just a plan 🤣🤣🤣🤣 Division in the camp 🤣

That’s why they are giving solar away for free. You don’t see that with gas and coal.

That headline says the grid rebuild has costs. It doesn’t say wind and solar make electricity expensive in every country. Nice try though.

$275…..so far only missed by $22,999,999,725…changed position.

Net zero is a con

When Malcolm Roberts said "expensive wind" I imagine he was referring to what it's like getting stuck in an elevator with him

The biggest price rises in electricity happened in Australia when we went from state owned plants and equipment to private operators and deregulation.

It should be telling that the only people presenting numbers are opposed to coal. If One Nation had a plan and were correct about it being cheaper, they’d present that data instead of trying to trick people or play on their prejudices.

Tis so bally ridiculous! To say the least. We can see where all this was going when the uniparty would not build as any new coal fired power stations any time in the last15 years or so! Just 'cause the lib/nats have 'changed' their position, doesn't mean anything!

Senator Malcolm Roberts quotes an The Australian opinion piece by News Corp (Australia's 5th most DISTRUSTED brand). A simple question, since apparently coal is such a winner; when will the coal lobby (all coal miners incidentally) commit to financing a new fleet of coal-fired power stations, selling the fleet's entire output at 30% cheaper than renewables, and doing so without accepting one cent of public money, either directly or indirectly, for the fleet's entire life cycle? Nothing says you are not a rent seeking grifter wanting to dole bludge on corporate welfare provided by taxpayers like PUTTING YOUR MONEY WHERE YOUR MOUTH IS...

7x2= 🚲 according to Malcolm Roberts. Let's not let the truth get in the way of right wing rubbish. Coal fire power stations are at the end of their life. The cost of maintaining old coal fire power stations is not worth it. The is no return on investment. Australia needs to invest in cheaper more reliable renewable energy. Let's not forget that Malcolm Roberts is a lobbyist for the coal industry, so vested interest here.

Net Zero is a made scam developed by billionaires

Stop net zero ...... problem solved

They are wasting Tax dollars which they don't have (borrowed) on so called Green Energy which also has a Carbon Footprint and poor returns for the investment and won't use Coal but Exported 80 million tonnes to China last year...Is China on another planet?

More solar on people’s houses, more home batteries, help with electrifying and a gas retention policy as a backup. Gas export tax would help too as it will encourage more gas sales at home. These will give quick wins. No more money to keep aging coal plants running - money down the drain. No nuclear, takes too long, costs too much

Maybe it's a privatisation thing Mal

Still waiting for cheaper power no wait they changed positions for cheaper power

But renewables are the cheapest form of energy

The Ted brothers , Cun and shi

AI data surveillance centres must be stopped at all costs you have no consent for digital ID

7x2=🚲 according to Malcolm Roberts. This is why Australia needs to keep investing in cheaper and reliable renewable energy to put downward pressure on bills and protect the country from global energy shocks. It also helps to combat climate change. Fossil fuels are expensive and unreliable. The world is moving on.

It's true, this woefully bad Albanese led Labor government is happily destroying our way of life.

$275.

Take your Glasses off and go to Specsavers so you can see what's going on in Australia.

The Liberal/Liebor Uniparty care more about the net zero scam than your cost-of-living crisis. 🤷‍♀️

1 in 5 should get a 2nd job then

They don't care. So one eyed on renewable energy

But relative to wages how much have they gone up? My comparison is from 1990 to today my electricity has gone up 0.27%

Ah yes Mal and his old trusty ethical journalistic source, Sky News 🤣

All in the modelling

Like “urging” a blocked toilet to flush 😔
