It's less about “clever propaganda” than it is about thick-as-a-brick believe- anything; people who believe Bowen's lies when the opposite is clearly true being the bricks.

it was never going to be cheap, that was an obvious lie from day 1

$80 Billion for absolute BS !
Small, remote communities could exist with non-renewable renewable energy however, large towns or cities will falter.
How so many can't see that is proof of the combination of deceit, greed & stupidity !

The current Iran crisis will drive more communities and households to EVs and batteries, and good luck. At national scale, however, 90% of Australia's primary energy consumption remains fossil-fuel.

Tom Biegler wouldn't get a job at today's CSIRO, which is just another part of the national propaganda-machine for net-zero open-borders.

That is a nice analysis and it could be made nicer by taking account of the need to keep the system alive through one or more nights with little or no wind. The power system has to deliver under the worst case scenario for wind and solar - that is a number of nocturnal wind droughts in close succession, like June 2017, with ten wind droughts, including one that lasted for three days and nights.

Wind and solar ain’t capacity on windless nights, however much you build.

There will be no transition to RE but there should be a transition back to coal until nuclear is on deck in a decade or three.
