NICE TRY BUT NO CIGAR FOR RUPERT
Sorry Rupe, you are a science denier, there is no problem with warming or CO2. First cutting.
IPA ON THE RUINOUS COST OF THE UNRELIABLES
Change and Energy Minister Chris Bowen says “The sun and wind don’t send a bill.”
Alas, the retailer does, and prices keep going up.
Stephen Wilson, an Adjunct Professor, tackled this myth in a new report for the Institute of Public Affairs titled “The Ruinous Cost of Free Energy”.
He points out what all energy ministers ignore: that the cost of wholesale electricity is not set by the lowest cost of generation on the National Electricity Market. It is set by the highest. And the size of the bill for consumers and taxpayers does not rest on the wholesale price alone. Australians will pay for the total system cost.
But even the wholesale electricity price won’t fall across a year under the government’s plan, because the frequent troughs of weather-dependent generation must be covered by something and whatever that something is will be expensive.
Wilson notes the cheapest system is the one we inherit, engineered in the 20th century on a foundation of low-cost mine-mouth coal.

Warning!
Wind watching can be time-consuming and habit-forming.
Watch responsibly.
