The federal election heralded a seismic shift in Australian politics and provided a much needed ray of hope for the clear majority of Australians.

I am disturbed to see that the CEO of Environment Victoria (where I live) considers that a "Renewable Energy Target of 100% by 2030" would be "bold and vote winning". Where in his job description does it specify winning votes? And how does he see it as “bold”? It simply copies what Greens have done everywhere, arguably wreaking the present havoc.

No power supply of any substance and reliability has ever been grounded on solar and wind, nor can it be. We can utilise, or tolerate, the present 26.5% of Victoria's annual electrical energy output coming from intermittent solar and wind only because we have a legacy of fossil fuel generators. They are on the way out. Will Environment Victoria ensure they are somehow replaced? We can safely bet not.

Also Environment Victoria should brace itself. "100% renewables”, where the present output of electrical energy comes from solar, wind, etc, is only a fraction, about a third, of real future clean energy needs for eliminating fossil fuels. In other words, Victoria is only about 9% of the way to the true target. Tell that to the boss!

It has been of great concern to watch energy choice becoming a beauty contest judged by uninformed citizen vote. It’s worse to see public office bearers with no expertise in energy matters applauding and influencing such choices

Well let us give this a go! Everyone agrees it has to be only Solar and Wind so let's go Brandon!
Legislate only wind and solar building from now on and for every 10% of what they are promising then electricity prices have to reduce by 2.5% with no more increases. Everyone will be satisfied as I have lost count of the number of times Solar and wind were said to be the cheapest. Actually Bowen said it yesterday.
The whole stinking fraudulent edifice would collapse!

The climate cultists,are now blaming gas companies for not supplying Australia with cheap gas,instead of themselves for demonising gas. The Greenies drove the Gas companies who tried to set up gas companies and invest in selling it to Australia to overseas markets.

Now they are in danger of not having enough gas and coal to stop their frozen little toes and noses from dropping off with frost bite they are blaming the gas companies who are now selling most of their gas for high prices overseas.

The REAL CAUSE of Petrol prices & Inflation:-

Why don't the climate change people ,petition Biden to re-open the American gas and oil production and pipelines in America,which he shut down a few months after he was elected.

America was selling its oil and gas to Germany and the NATO countries for $49 a barrell. Biden shut down America's sales of oil and gas to those countries immediately causing a world shortage and doubling and now tripling the price of world supplies.

Biden in shutting down the deal PrTrump had done to sell American oil to Germany and Europe caused Germany and Europe to then go back to buying their energy supplies from Russia.

Thus costing America all that revenue from those sales, and handing all that money to Putin, providing him with all the oil millions to fund this war in Ukraine and making Germany 70% dependent on Russia to power their country. Even with the sanctions they are still paying Putin for their oil and gas because they have no other source of supply.

The media know Biden did this,but they never mentioned it,until now, months later, when they are deflecting blame onto the war in Ukraine and Russia.lying to protect Biden as they do.

PrTrump warned NATO not to buy their power supplies off Russia and did a deal with Germany and Europe to sell them American oil. Biden undid all that.

No government who has America and it's people at heart, could possibly do what Biden did. Of course the cost of fuel is tripling inflation because of transport costs.
