Trumpster,

It's a fact Trump is a sex grub, and a grub in general, I haven't "done a runner" as you put it. As I said before Trump got the gig for the second time, I don't much care whose in the White House. Now doubt you would sing the praises of that grub Randy Andy Windsor given the chance. I understand they are your kinda people!

Did you know, Randy Andy is 8th in line to become King of Australia. What do you make of that, the grub is preferred as your King over 27 million Australian citizens!

"You can bemoan the current acceleration in the uptake of renewables all you like but that is where investors are pouring their money into."

All they are interested in is the billions in handouts: When the handouts stop, they disappear. And an Arche Energy report looking at recent coal power station builds around the world determined a cost of $70-$110 per MWH, less than that claimed by CSIRO. The cheapest option, as Bazz suggested, is to refurbish existing power stations.

Low cost and reliable supply should be the primary drivers.

"I for one would not discount an energy future that included nuclear..."

That statement is so vague as to be meaningless. Do you agree with removing the nuclear ban and opening the electricity market up to competition via long term supply contracts?

Pauline Hanson doesn’t trust the Liberals on Net Zero; they are sticking to the Paris Agreement and the emissions nonsense, still clinging to the even more nonsensical idea that climate change can be stopped.

She isn’t the only one who doesn’t trust the liberals after their appalling and cowardly performance that put the abominable Albanese regime back into power.

‘Across the country, Liberal MPs tie themselves in knots trying to finesse positions that satisfy no one. They’re paralysed not by complexity but by cowardice – listening to people who aren’t their friends, taking cues from the Age and the ABC, craving approval from the very class that loathes them. The party that once championed enterprise now worships bureaucracy. Risk aversion has become its only conviction”. (Anon)

A Trump-style clean break from Paris is the only way to return sanity and prosperity to Australia.

So Paul after I asked you to show what was the problem with the emails you said were embarrassing to Trump, you decided to change the subject to Andrew Windsor!!

Just s I thought...you actually don't know what was embarrassing, only that the people you rely on to tell you what to think told you what to think.

"sunshine is free coal costs largely"

The world's coal deposits were made for free by nature and sunshine. They have helped humanity build the living standards and civilisation of today by providing dispatchable energy.

With coal, the cost is from mining it and building generating and transmission infrastructure, which amounts to 60% and 40% of the power cost.

With wind and solar the cost comes from building solar panels and windmills to generate 150% of the power you need (a third of generation is wasted), a transmission grid to handle the intermittent generation (twice as much as a grid for dispatchable generation), storage (batteries and pumped hydro costing who the hell knows how much), as well as extra control and stabilisation equipment. Add to that north of ten billion dollars a year in taxpayer handouts to the wind and solar con artists, loss of vast amounts of farmland and the natural environment to wind and solar installations, and a lifespan of 20year for generation and ten years for batteries before they become toxic waste, filling our world with pfas forever chemicals.

Time to get rid of these grifters.

Time to get rid of these grifters.
Fester,
Yep, drain that particular swamp !
