Rafe Champion doesn't mind discussing "net zero by 2050", referring to renewable energy as a 'virus' :-

"We are infected with the RE virus already but the symptoms up to date have been relatively mild unless you regard doubling power prices as a serious matter, and blackouts in out of the way places like South Australia and a few districts in Victoria.

But the prognosis is not good, considering that all the states and the ALP are determined to increase the dose …… we had better spend some time looking ahead because the last thing we need to recover from the economic wreckage is a pandemic of over-priced and unreliable electric power."

Indeed it would. I suggest we start with those who claim that "human emissions are 3% and the rest is natural" when humans are actually responsible for more that 100% of net emissions.

ttbn,
Maybe i should recognise trolling as I've seen so much of it, but the fact remains that I completely failed to recognise Alison's trolling until she hypocritically accused me of it.

My views are not extreme, though they may appear that way because people with extreme views seem to congregate here. Indeed when I first arrived here this board was degenerating into a rightwing echo chamber. Despite what you're claiming I mostly leave you alone (you do seem to prefer ignorance) but occasionally I like to throw a it of truth your way. And that's certainly not a "fault" you'll see in Alison Jane: she seems to regard the truth as a poor substitute for her stereotypes!

Idiots of all kinds liken things they dislike to viruses. But the truth is that higher gas prices are the main reason for our high electricity prices, and renewables can and should be a big part of the solution. Meanwhile the coal fired power stations have proven themselves to be unreliable.

Aidan,

I feel sorry for you.
