The line I highlighted is the one that most interests me. Where is the pressure coming from on the Coalition to aggressively promote coal?It’s true that wind and solar are intermittent, since the wind doesn’t blow all the time and the sun doesn’t shine all the time. But instead of helping the states to deal with this problem sensibly, Coalition politicians including the Federal Minister for Energy Josh Frydenberg, are just trying to score points and embed the hoax.It raises a broader issue: why is politics the only part of society doing this?The academic, scientific, corporate, not-for-profit sectors have long ago accepted that the problem is real and are working towards a more sustainable future; the only ones not showing leadership are the nation’s leaders.
Is it just generically from the Minerals Council? It has the feeling of something more specific...
the most ironic thing perhaps moronic is better is that NEW coal fired stations do not deliver much cheaper energy and are quite expensive to build even if you get the finance . They do not emit much less emissions either.
