What is needed is a 'transition' of government so that we can put this is economy-wrecking nonsense behind us and reclaim the country from Left-wing lunatics and liars.

"The puzzle is, who thought this up? It's by no means obvious that "percent renewables" would yield such a distorted view. It clearly had not been Bowen or his boss Albanese; they're not smart enough."

According to the author Magoo and Blackout are off the hook for the biggest con in Australia's history on grounds of stupidity. If so then what's the deal with "the buck stops here"?

Hopefully the "buck" will not just stop with Albanese, but bowl him over. Two years is a long time to wait, though. That's why the uniparty won't let us have CIRs to recall parliament and get an election. There would be plenty of people to force an early election after what Albanese has done to them and their country.

We need energy.
We know how to generate it.
We also need to avoid disrupting the 'flow of nature'.
Avoid making changes around us which change the natural world too much.
We must continue generating energy to power our homes and businesses.
But we must try to change the way we do it.
To a less invasive way, to cause less disruption to nature.
So lets get on with it.
We might be fighting and losing right now, but we must keep trying.
Those who make harsh comment about our situation are far too negative.
We need to be a team, and all go in the same direction.
Maybe then we can develop suitable ways of getting what we must have.
Energy without destroying our world.

The rabid lunatic from the extreme right demands a new federal government, if that's what the people want, then they will make that decision in due cause. The Victorian state election is due in November, I sincerely hope the people of that state choose a One Nation, not a Liberal government, not even a coalition of Liberal and One Nation, but a One Nation bunch of fruit-loops to show Victoria, and the rest of the nation what happens when the imbeciles are put in charge of the asylum.

p/s Labor has had a fair run in Victoria, its time for a change.

The money's running out & Albo will do a runner courtesy of the taxpayers & that'll be it for some time & by then smarter & more intelligent people will take over the reigns. A clear gene pool will also make a big difference from the present stale swamp ! Better times ahead people if you vote accordingly !

Hi Indy,

Great Intelligent One, Pray tell us, how shall ye vote? For the Redneck Redhead?

Doog,

The main take of the article seems to have eluded you,i.e.stats like you present can give a falsely positive impression. The other and more positive take was that enablers of the con are looking for ways to absolve themselves.

Renewables have been a disaster.

Hi Fester,

Renewable energy is not a con, I think you are following your political bent, more than anything else. There has to be a future plan, and there has to be a pathway involving a transition away from fossil fuels. All the indicators for Australia is a future based on wind, solar and to a lesser degree hydro, that is the preferred direction . Both coal and gas will be around for a while to come, and gas seems to be the back up to renewable's, until battery storage takes over.

Well said esquire Paul.

Hi Paul,

I agree that it wasn't a con when it started, but given how it has progressed I would say that people still banging the drum are nothing less.

I'd love to buy cheap, safe, reliable and long lasting batteries and go off-grid, but that would be a bit like embracing the microprocessor revolution in the 1960s, which is kind of like what BSC Bowen is doing with our electricity grid today.

It is complete madness.
