What a disgraceful and embarrassing joke the Albanese government is, rejecting the US/UK invitation to join in accelerating nuclear energy development, preferring to continue to ruin Australia with the lie that we will become a “renewable energy superpower”.

Coal is still the cheapest way to produce electricity; but the alternative government is also hell bent on unachievable net zero: the Coalition is equally ignorant and childish in believing the carbon dioxide fairy tale, so we are not going back to coal. With both idiot parties believing in mumbo-jumbo, and clearly not for turning, nuclear power is the only choice for reliable, best-priced electricity.

Australia is now the only nation remaining on the renewable energy cart.

Believing in the renewable energy fantasy is the new socialism ttbn.

Fester

More a replacement for religion some say.

If you want a highly amusing example of self-inflicted embarrassment, an Australian female delegate to Cop29 started her talk by saying that, even though she was not on Australian soil, she would like pay her respects to Aborigines past, present and whatever the rest of the palaver is. I kid you not. I'm sorry that I can't show you where to look and laugh. It probably won't appear in the main stream media.

The energy “cart” referred to above has grown into a wagon according to economist Judith Sloan. And, the wheels could be falling off it, she thinks. She also believes that the whole “ net zero edifice” was trembling before the Trump election, but now ….?

Trump will ditch America's ties to the Paris Agreement, again, and he won't be looking kindly on allies like Australia wrecking their economies with climate nonsense, and thinking that he will bail them out.

It will likely be on Sky ttbn. I have to endure another welcome to country tomorrow. I was hoping that such things would be denied to me for voting no, but no such luck unfortunately.
