According to the Bank of America Institute:

"Jobs in the clean energy sector .... now account for more than 40% of all energy jobs in the US. Jobs related to battery electric
vehicles experienced growth of 27%, surpassing the gasoline and diesel vehicle sector by more than 17x, as reported in the US Energy & Employment Report. And in a significant shift towards greater gender diversity, women accounted for over half of the 300,000 energy jobs added in 2022."

Part of this investment and job creation is attributed to a government effort to make life more affordable for those living in the U.S.

So what? All very nice for Americans IF the government department referred to is truthful. And, what's the point of this post? Will it affect anyone reading it? Is it an unstated recommendation for the Australian government? If it's the latter, Albanese has no intention of making "life more affordable for those living (in Australia)".

It's all circuses (no bread) with Albanese: the Voice; the Matildas (let's have a holiday). Look over there - nothing to see here (as he tries to divide us along racial lines, bumps up power prices, wrecks the environment with wind and solar farms and chokes us with mass immigration).

There are few jobs in renewables, and most of these will go when Albanese has despoiled as much rainforest and farm land as he is allowed to get away with.

Electric cars? The workers are already there.

There is some hope for Australia in the unlikely form of David Littleproud, who on Sunday put in a word for his farmer constituents, and food security for all of us.

Distinguishing the Nationals from the wet Liberals, he expressed his and his party's objections to Albanese's insane energy policy (83% renewables by 2030), and the building of panels and windmills on PRIME AGRICULTURAL LAND.

Littleproud suggests a pause in spreading the monstrosities over where our food comes from, and where many of our exports are derived, and a good hard think about Bowen baloney of thousands of kilometres of wires and pylons further trashing the Australian countryside.

And, it was only through some miserable coot criticising what Littleproud told Steve Price that I found out about it. That's the second time that I have had my attention drawn to someone I was not all that keen on and largely ignored. The last time was when that indigenous disgrace, Noel Pearson bad-mouthed Littleproud for announcing that the Nationals were saying NO to the Voice.

If there are any other reticent right wingers out there, speak up. Don't let the Left make all the noise.

ttbn,

How pleased I was to hear the news that the drop kick Loony Latham has beeen a-holed by the Lovely Pauline after the dismal failure of One Nation at the recent NSW State election. Hanson is bad enough, but Latham, the guys opinions on renewable's are off the planet.

Inflation Reduction Act? Some people will fall for anything.

Latham wrote: "The renewables guru and immediate-past Chief Scientist, Alan Finkel, has said that reducing Australia’s 1.3% share of global emissions to zero will have “virtually no impact” on climate change."

If politicians are going to start telling people the truth, we'll never get to net zero.

mhaze,

"“virtually no impact” on climate change." so this bloke Alan Finkel concedes that Australia's contribution will have an impact on climate change, so does Donald Duck, I agree it will be small. Do not give $1 to the Salvation Army's Red Shield Appeal as it will have "virtually no impact" on poverty in Australia. Look at all those individual fools who joined the Australian Army to fight the Japanese in WWII, individually they virtually had no impact on the outcome of the war.

Proves my point what a loony Latham is. But ttbn and others from the crazy extreme think Loony Latham is wonderful, their kinda guy, ttbn has given the fool the thumbs up before, just like his folk hero Corny Banana.
