The only action resulting from the billions of dollars spent on closing coal-fired power stations and converting to part-time renewables is higher electricity prices , that in turn have forced business closures, loss of thousands of jobs, and impoverishment of thousands of people -- and wait for it -- no measurable impact on climate.

Bureaucratic groupthink driving so-called climate action is undoubtedly the con of the millenium. The politicians allowing this qualify as traitors.

meanwhile record coal exports to India and China. How daft can a country be.

Posted this before no one has answered it yet.

What is the explanation for the dozens of predictions by so called experts and scientists of doom that have failed to materialize?

Neneh. " That means we are in pole position to help bring about the kind of transformation the IPCC is calling for."

When the Greenies sit down with somebody with some technical expertise and come up with some practical solutions to providing the world with cheap energy we may start listening to you. For renewables such as wind and solar to work, we need a vast amount of storage. Please sit down and do some sums on all this and you will find that the cost would be enormous. No cheap electricity there. Sooner rather than later you must realise that nuclear power is the only solution to the problem. The french have shown that it is both safe and reliable, so stop being a bunch of illiterate, misinformed scaremongers and get on with it.

We, the captive energy market pay around 24 cents per KwH for coal-fired power. And that price is killing off our industries, forced our car manufacturers offshore and farmers up against the wall.

What we need is nuclear power and at 2 cents per Kwh MSR thorium. which can be mass produced and sited almost anywhere to produce walk away safe reliable dispatchable CARBON FREE power, and for as little as 2 cents per KwH.

Currently, energy is costing many manufacturing enterprises more than their wages or tax bill and it is making irrigated farming that relies on electrically powered pumps unviable!

There's all this rubbish spouted by political advocates about lowering our tax when what we've always needed, was energy that costs as little as 2 cents per KwH.

And given we can do it very safely and even as we retire aging coal-fired power plants. and with carbon free energy.

This mob and those that sit across the Isle are the real problem and roadblock, given they have to have some serious investments in coal to be so recalcitrant and asinine? If there's another rational explanation for their preference, it escapes me. I'd make them eat their damned coal if only to understand, you can't!
