This guy Aidan Morrison has been digging into Australia’s Net Zero plans and the design of the renewables heavy grid.

The Daily Telegraph picked up on his work for this headline, Aidan has since clarified the actual unaccounted number in GenCost is about AU$230 Billion.

That is - #AUStriches Government are underestimating the true cost of this bullshit energy transition by 230 Billion dollarydoos..

Those costs are going to be borne by consumers. By you in your power bills. If you can afford power at all because the way this is going electricity is going to be a luxury and all those jokes I told Americans about how we just got electricity in Australia are going to not be as funny then.. nostr:note10uegyeqq5hhgzhc98k0gyudjwwjjgajclk02n9d009hcmsthmh9qnthmg8

Its the instability that worries me as much as the price. The decision makers don't know anything about energy, don't feel they should learn, AND aren't interested in the actual outcomes. That last bit is unique to the 21st century, I feel.

At least here in Victoria, our Conservatives may actually be worse. They want the "Teal" seats back very badly.

They all know they’ll be out of office by the time the instability hits and the people will demand the current government just fix it with more debt instead of grabbing pitchforks and finding Bowen on whichever beach he’s on.

It’s the lack of accountability which will destroy it. They used to at least semi-correct periodically, now they loot and fuck everything and walk away like nothing happened.

Aus used to have some of the cheapest power on the planet before they artificially inflated the prices so they could subsidize bird killers and PV. I'm all about innovation and advancing in efficiency but it's not efficient if it needs to be propped up by tax payers because it costs too much to produce.

That’s why they’re hiding the true costs. They get to make all of their ideological claims and soothe the climate Karens, because even the champagne socialists would be forced to think twice if it was clear what the real costs were going to be.
