The last decade?..... Try the last four decades.

What's the return on the $$$ billions spent on renewables subsidies? What is the output?

For Chris.

This idiot was surprised that in winter the sun sets before the peak in electric use. 😂

So I’m assuming this idiot only ever became aware of renewable energy over the last decade! He has a very short memory this goose. His Govt did nothing from 07 - 13 except spew rhetoric like he’s doing now!

Dangerous fool

Meanwhile BILLIONS of $$ worth of our coal and natural gas is being shipped offshore daily for peanuts.

So please tell about this renewable energy. ? You keep saying we must invest ! In what exactly?

If private business thought it was worth investing they would have

Liar

Coal and Nuclear ! The only way to go , gorget the rest . NONSENSE !.

Hey Chris renewables r made from rare earth minerals and copper among other components. How will we mine those if we don't have electricity? Batteries will not run the mines. 180 tons of steel in each wind turbine. Oh yeah making steel pollutes. You pollute more to generate less.

Why? Not fit for purpose.

3 time loser this 🤡

Goodness, keep digging that hole.

Our investment engines (Superannuation etc) have backed out of 'old' energy in favour of renewables. Has that investment been pissed against the wall?

Because it has. In the latest budget there was downscaling of the investment in renewable energy

fake news from bowen

That's because we don't want unsustainable, unreliable renewables you numbskull Chris Bowen we want Nuclear. Do you even know what that is?

You mean reliable. Not renewable.

Even Liberal Sky News would have to agree, the last 9 years no investment or plan into energy and I mean any plan - nothing!! The Liberal Nationals are why we are in a mess now PeterDutton_MP sussanley Barnaby_Joyce
