Paul,

If you so strongly support Finkel, then as he has strongly endorsed Turnbull's new power plan you should welcome it too.

The problem with the CET as originally proposed was that it targeted primarily new plant, it was too inflexible, and it worst flaw was that it did little to address network stability.

The new plan mandates a stable mix of power sources and emissions without specifying which sources. This enables the market to determine the cheapest means of supplying power while reducing emissions and guaranteeing stability.

Evidence of your claim Yuyutsu. Are you including Chief Scientist Dr Alan Finkel, and his panel, in that broad based, and as yet unsubstantiated claim you are making? Can you also prove there was duress on Abbott to sign the Paris agreement.

Abbott is always under duress caused by himself. Was he under duress when he told all of them lies before his election, or was that to win at any cost including selling his ars.

Our parliament is full of half casts from other nations, all of these people with duel citizen ship, should have no obligation from Australia for paying a full pension without half the costs payd by their other country of citizenship. There is a lot more to be sorted out over duel citizenship status.

Wind industry claims it is now competitive with coal generation.

German wind industry is claiming it will be decimated, with the loss of thousands of jobs, if Germany goes ahead & stops wind energy subsidies starting in 2020.

Like the Greens, the wind energy industry couldn't lie straight in bed. Clean energy is simply another crutch for this corrupt industry. No corruption, no wind industry.
