- Menzies Research Centre's Nick Cater says Chris Bowen’s plan was meant to be “tripling the amount” of renewable energy but investment has decreased by 80 per cent.
Mr Cater told Sky News host Peta Credlin that the government is in “real trouble” with their renewable energy targets.
“They’re impossible to meet anyway technically.
“It can’t be done and it’s time they look for a plan B.”
Mr Cater joined Peta Credlin to discuss the decrease in renewable energy investment.
Spend $1.3 Trillion on Wind and Solar and Replace them Every 10 to 15 Years While Wrecking the Environment .......Yeh, Great Plan ?
Sounds like a Bowen "plan".....designed to FAIL, as he always does.
@@wyattfamily8997 True, That !
Wind and solar farms in the UK last 25 to 40 plus years and produce cheaper electricity than any other form of production. Australia must have a much more wind and sunshine than the UK.
@@robinwhitebeam4386 A great comment for non-Engineers and s t u p i d people! You can search for "turbine graveyard Sweetwater Texas" if you dare (or are not the "standard" YT AI-generated "commenter"). The poster was correct - 10 to 15 years is what the "wind farm" lasted in Texas. They are already being taken down and NOT replaced.
@@robinwhitebeam4386ah, they let out a parrot. 😂
Definitely time for Mr Bowen to go back to the corner he crawled out of... and stay there.
A green scam from day one, and at what cost?
There's not enough resources for this BS.
Australia should just back down on net zero.
We are already BETTER THAN NetZero. In a 2014 CSIRO Report by Dr. Vanessa Haverd she pointed out that Australia emitts 485 Million tons of Co2 Per Year, but ABSORBS 2.2 BILLION Ton Per Year. Since that time Australia has further reduced its Co2 by a further 25% whilst still ABSORBING 2.2 BILLION TONS Per Year. So we are already at BETTER than NetZero, but you'll never hear that FACT from Blackout Bowen.
According to the math ,land mass ,population, trees...Australia is net zero.
Try telling that to the Dullards in Canberra.
You can deny reality but you can not deny the EFFECTS of reality.
Do you mean the effects of some of the most expensive electricity in the world, or the effects of decreased reliability?
@@cerealport2726 Both. Also the EFFECTS of the impact to the environment. Some are aware of HOW many of the elements that comprise these "green" - wind turbine and solar - systems are stripped from the earth.
Also, my family has a fair amount of farm acreage. Certain companies contact them regularly to entice the family to allow the placement of a "solar farm" on some VERY GOOD farmland. Of course, once a "solar farm" is placed on the land, that land is good for nothing for a decade or two. Then there is the issue of CLEANUP after the "solar farm" lease expires.
EXCELLENT REPORTING, Peta! renewable energy does not get the job done. BUT, it does increase the cost of electricity.
Renewable energy is a scam
Credlin is not a reporter, she has no qualifications in journalism. She is just a Liberal Party propagandist. Dont dare say that she is a journalist.
That’s the tip of the iceberg- the price of everything increases: normal people will starve, 1st world countries will fail 3rd world nations ( who never subscribed to this nonsense) will thrive- if not take over: only the elites in the western world will be ok😮😢
Like usual screw everything up and then walk away.
Weve got a plan remember that welcome to the poorhouse Australia 😂
Good, time to make sanity a thing again.
Indeed. We have energy policy based upon two mass psychoses (the false and delusional belief that mans effects on the earth’s climate are significant and dangerous and the false and delusional belief that transitioning to non fossil fuel energy sources will be cheap and easy).
The ridiculous ban on nuclear power plants is based upon the false and delusional belief that nuclear power plants are unsafe.
Popular delusions are dangerous and can lead to economic ruin war and genocide.
We are currently burdened with a large cohort of dishonest duplicitous politicians who are colluding with ridiculous and economically destructive popular delusions in order to garner the votes of the ignorant and ill informed.
I drive between 100 and 1000 km everyday in country WA and tow or carry loads. EVs simply cannot do it.
Think of supply vs demand.
If others used less petrol, your petrol would be cheaper.
(I know the petroleum market isn’t that simple and this outcome wouldn’t necessarily happen)
In theory. The Dullards in Canberra would increase the excise duty.
Ram Hybrid arriving late 2024 double the range of the standard model and can carry your big heavy loads. Oh and it's filled with minerals from the Pilbara processed in China.
In trading, possessing technical analysis skills is not sufficient on its own; discipline and emotional maturity play crucial roles in achieving success. Embracing the mindset of "time in the market vs. timing the market" proves valuable, especially during market fluctuations. I attribute my growing daily earnings to Lukas Douglas valuable insights and daily trade signals, coupled with my commitment to continuous learning. Kudos to the journey ahead!

Solar and wind farms are a total waist of time, but you cant tell Cris Bowen, and doesnt he watch the media overseaes, big companies r cancelling EV manafacturing, there not selling them, by this time next year all those who bought EV's will discover the costs to repair them, that inlcludes cars from China
Bowen is consistent, consistently bad.
Labor could not manage a kid's birthday party. What chance did they ever have of effectively running a country?
Fun fact: the blades of decommissioned wind turbines are ground up and burnt in the production of cement often produce more reliable energy than when they were active.
Fun fact: many here will believe anything the Murdoch media tell them.
Fun fact: The whole idea of wind farms is to reduce CO2 and pollution not add to it.
The blades aren't fuel. They are shredded and mixed into the cement. Coal is the fuel burned for cement.
@williamanthony915 makes no difference, so long as they aren't blighting the landscape as barely functioning monuments to shortsighted government idiocy.
Hey, I appreciate wind turbines. I have tons of money invested in coal, and if people want to burn coal making millions of turbines, then all the better for me. I make a lot of money with my coal being shipped to China to make wind turbines that wear out after a few years in the ocean from the sea salt.
albosleezy is jumping down the rabbit hole
Investors are finally waking up to the reality that ruinables are stranded assets without government subsidies, and bad investments WITH them!
Sorry, but you can't pin that badge on renewables. It's already being worn by fossil fuels.
People don't understand the concept of "base-load". You MUST have large power stations being able to pump out GigaWatts of power continuously. Only nuclear or coal can do that. Renewables cannot do that, because they are intermittent. Renewables with batteries are OK for peaking, but only just.
People don't understand that baseload generation - ie big coal and nuclear plants designed to run more or less 24/7 - is an endangered species in our competitive and increasingly renewables grid. Solar power increasingly drives wholesale electricity prices into negative territory for much of the day, forcing baseload generators to curb supply. And traditional coal and nuclear isn't good at rapid ramping up and down to back-up spiky renewables generation. It's why our coal stations are closing early. And it's why nuclear would not make an economic return here.
@@gibbonsdp keep believing what you type, if you want, but it's really not right.
Despite a lot of effort being put into energy efficiency, there is a minimum of electricity required to keep everything ticking over. AEMO data shows that this is around 18-19 Gigawatts for the East coast states and SA, and that's at lowest consumption - at about 3-4am, every day. Realistically, renewables plus batteries cant be trusted to supply this regularly now, and probably never will be able to without bankrupting the country.
As renewable energy sources increase, so does the need for backup supplies to meet the frequent and unpredictable changes in wind and solar availability. Often gas, or in South Australia, gas and diesel are used instead, often in the cheapest generators possible (like open cycle gas turbines), which emit more CO2 per unit of fuel burned than something designed to run continuously.
Batteries exist mostly for frequency control, as they cannot sustain useful output as part of a grid (but they do definitely have benefits when applied elsewhere). Frequency control is also where the big money is, hence the rush to install cash cows disguised as batteries.
Investors get rich by research, clearly they see the Kool aid is poison
The remaining 20% being Labor politicians 🙄
Maybe because the investors have realised Peter Dutton is going to unleash nuclear power and they know it's a better investment
You underestimate Albanese.
He is putting in power cables as we speak. He will just say now that the cables are in and Billions $ have been spent we will now spend more and more and although our targets weren’t met we will.
Opacity is the new transparency. Trust us, nothing that should concern you here comrade ( ਕਾਮਰੇਡ ).

That makes the elec twice the price. More than petrol uk. So many other problems unless you can charge at home and only go short distances. Mg now only£99 per month can’t give them away.
CON CAR is all in the name
Solar and wind and battery storage, will win purely on economic grounds. There is no need to "mandate" goals. It will happen by itself. Solar panels put out 90% after 20 years of service.
The new LFP batteries have 80% of their capacity after 15 yrs. There is a problem in the US, which is that the installer are ripping everyone off.
Where is the plan to deal with erratic spiking grid demand from a 100% EV future?
EVs with smart V2G (two-way) chargers will smooth the spikes rather than exacerbate them, and get paid by the grid for doing so.
@@gibbonsdp Right, so the grid can such energy out of your car rather than charge it when you need it. This does nothing to resolve the fundamental problem of increased energy demands on supply and distribution network. Get real and stop looking for a free lunch.
How about they start looking at how products are packaged and start there. Get rid of plastics…
Typical labour project planning. No details, no contingencies, unrealistic and unachievable. What did you expect but they will never be held accountable for their incompetence.
But this is the Australian government way. Wait until every other country has failed at something and then double down on the stupid by thinking we can do the undoable. That is why Straya is littered with expensive white elephants that stand as a testament to the ridiculous mind set of the two major political parties.
Here's a paraphrase of a comment I saw the other day.
Chris Bowen is a human ChatGPT. He expounds large amounts of bullshit with the utmost confidence.
How did the BMW ev comcar fleet safari to Melbourne for ASEAN go.
Mugs buy EVs in Australia. It will be many decades before this country has the necessary electrical infrastructure to support a majority EV fleet. It's a fizzer.
Best start taxing us more to prop this scam up a bit more
They'll just increase the subsidies.
The money has already been spent on renewables. At my house we generate five times more electricity than we consume.
"At my house we generate five times more electricity than we consume." Same here. I export 30-40 kW per day to the grid and am working to expand this to exporting 5 kW to the grid 24/7 using solar power and batteries or solar pumped storage between some spare 5,000 gallon water tanks. Then I'm look to upgrade from single phase to 3 phase power, so I can export 15 kW. I will be supplying the energy needs of 24 houses with the electricity I provide at 1/3 of the cost of what my electricity company charges clients. If enough people (houses, businesses, car parks, shopping malls, schools, warehouses, workshops, etc) do similar, we can make a *huge* difference. Morons out there claiming this cannot work. I'm getting on a doing it.
Either you run a few lights or you have a massive amount of panels .Which one?
The capital costs
Rooftop solar panels are an economical supplement in favourable sunny areas.
Storage batteries are rather expensive and the installation costs and depreciation would usually exceed the costs of using power from the grid. Additionally a back up diesel generator would be necessary to cover prolonged periods of inclement weather in many areas.
A Feed-in Tariff website states: 15c/kWh for the first 10kWh per day and .7c kWh thereafter. Solar panels with a daily output of 40kWh would return $3.60 a day.
No one buy an electric vehicle = 🇨🇳 manufacturing takes a big hit
And remember the time scale for this massive drop. It relates to the last two days. I love the way they can still talk with tongs in their cheeks.
I'm really scared and concerned about this situation. I just realised my smart phone, home internet router and dash camera are all made from Australian minerals in China!
Renewable energy has poor scalability. Basic extrapolation made that crystal clear yet it has happened anyway with a predictable result!
Very True, but the renewables zealots don’t care about the engineering and physics. It’s all about investor profits- screw the consumer.
I love my solar panels !! My power bill was about $60-70 AUD per month. After installation of my solar panels, my power bills have turned into credits, and I now get free electricity and make around $110 AUD per month tax free on the excess electricity I export to the grid - a whopping 25% Return on Investment (ROI). It's like having a piggy bank on my roof.
I am now looking to add more solar panels and some really large batteries so that I can export from my batteries to the grid in the afternoons, mornings, and as much of the night as possible. I am aiming to export 5 kW (my maximum) 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. And then, if I can, I will try and upgrade my power to 2 or 3 phase and ramp things up further.
If enough houses, shopping malls, parking lots, businesses do the same thing, then we might be able to close down most of our remaining coal fired power stations. It's not rocket science.
We certainly should NOT be clearing pristine bushland and mountain tops of trees to install solar panels and wind turbines. Our existing houses, buildings, parking lots, shopping malls be done first, before we thing of clearing trees and industrialising / clearing pristine bushland.
The people who claim renewable energy cannot help, is not worthwhile, or is not an important part of our energy future are complete idiots.
Chasing the dream, you must be on good tariff money and you also have no idea how much electricity a shopping mall needs. If you get time have a look on the web how many panels a medium steel plant needs 750 000. Use solar powered steel mill. And thats between 10 in the morning to 3 in the afternoon no night or afternoon shift there. Don't even start with batteries. You call who idiots.
@@user-hs8qj2fi9y I have done the analysis for my local shopping mall, which consists of a massively spread out building and surrounding car parks - covering the buildings and parking lots with solar panels, and it certainly does make sense in sunny Qld to offset a hell of a lot of usage. And with the added benefit of providing much needed shade for cars and shade for pedestrians. As I said, we need to be putting solar panels on places like shopping malls before we even think of putting them across farm land or clearing trees to install solar panels or wind turbines. I never said anything about steel plants - these do have mind boggling energy requirements.

"..don't think right now, renewable energy is a good investment..." Right now? It was NEVER a good investment. It may be, when the technology is ready, but it is not ready now.
Ask the Chinese on how it can be done.
People starting to wake up…better late than never!
And yet your current electricity system can’t get the job done either. Might as well have clean energy.
Might as well have enough baseload generation to allow supply to meet demand. Might as well minimise environmental damage at the same time. Might as well make it zero emissions too. Will have to make that nuclear then.
@@footbru I don’t know, why don’t you ask a nuclear vendor?

💯 sir. Just waiting for Rattusfinkus or Tassied12 to troll through here and tell us all how cheap renewables are and how expensive and inefficient nuclear is. 😂
I think Australians are finally becoming aware of the truth about renewables as a system. But i still think the vast majority of Australians lack sufficient knowledge of nuclear energy….
The most expensive and difficult to build energy. Yeah sure.
Many people saw this failure coming. You can't quit crude oil without a replacement already in place. They should have planned to wean off of oil slowly. Electric vehicles should have had a battery large enough for the regenerative braking to work. Then there should be a high efficiency cartridge ICE running a generator to power the electric vehicle. At some future date when battery technology improves to the usable level then you pull out the ICE power cartridge and insert the battery. That's why hybrid vehicles are doing so well. I still can't understand how so many voices were silenced so that this stupidity can run its course. So many people saw this coming but couldn't be heard.
Dreamer. Perpetual motion does not exsit. You need schooling bad.
@@user-hs8qj2fi9y I think you replied to the wrong comment.
It would be a failure that could prove the saving of Australia.
Beer googles x2.
There is something called Zero point Energy(plasmoid energy), that needs to be invested in. Its amazing how it works. A powerplant in UK was retrofitted with it. It runs on air and water. The exhaust spits out up to 25 % pure oxygen and co2 levels are zero’ed out. Everybody should look it up. They even made a car that runs on it.
Hmmm.... I'm pretty sure that we'd get great investment in small scale nuclear.. as long as the Federal Government will lift the ban on nuclear energy in Australia.
Albanese says small nuclear reactors don't exist. What does he think powers a nuclear submarine?, solar panels?
If investors wanted to invest that much, they would go public to pressure the government.
They would hold a press conference and say that they would invest $_____ on nuclear if the lifted the ban.
There aren’t any investors who are prepared to invest (unless you’re talking about “investors” who want the government to actually pay for everything)
And at what price to the taxpayer to build them, then at what price to the consumer per kwh, not a nuke plant being built anywhere without huge govt subsidies and loans, then look at the projected costs per kwh when they get up and running, only generation here more expensive per MW is distillate and some of the gas plants, both of which are only used when demand / supply is tight and only generate 3% of the year.
Reliable Energy = Nuclear, gas or coal
Unreliable or Intermittent energy = wind and solar
Nuclear energy has by far the highest capacity factor of any other energy source. This basically means nuclear power plants are producing maximum power more than 92% of the time during the year.
That’s about nearly 2 times more as natural gas and coal units, and almost 3 times or more reliable than wind and solar plants.
Not to mention that it's a self contained system Australia has the largest uranium deposit in the world vs relying on China to supply our power generation
Wef
NO car needs to be connected to the internet. It’s just ridiculous. Cars have survived for 100 years without being “connected” and don’t need to be now.
But it's inevitable. Modern cars are computers on wheels and need to talk with Mama. Not least to give Mama the opportunity to monetise all the data they collect.
We can solve this problem in a week if supplies to Woke-topia are restricted to the technology they want to push. Electric or Pedal powered trucks.
Surprise
Cars don't need to be overloaded with electrics and features. Even Ev's. It's all a scam.
what?????????????
Why doesn’t anyone talk about crypto’s use of energy?
Crypto uses a large percentage of the world’s electricity.
I thought the scooter with shopping was pretty cool. If they're willing why not
Aluminium smelters who are Australia’s largest user of electricity will launch a tender next week for wind and solar generated electricity. The majority owner is saying nuclear is out of the question because it is too slow and too expensive. The majority owner has sold their coal operations and closed their uranium mine in the Northern Territory. If hard-nosed resource companies are not supporting nuclear power - Toxic Ted and Plutonium Pete have a significant marketing problem.
😂 sure vince…. Is that why BHP wanted SMRs to run their smelters? Because they A. Actually worked and B. Were cheaper to run than an inefficient and complicated system of intermittent wind and solar. You best check your story champ…. 😂
@@footbru
What one of the 80 designs in development or approvals now?
Go google the SMR vendors- there are a great many options.
I’m not going to spoon feed you.
Leave your emotions at the door and let the engineering and physics do the talking.
Time for Australia to put its big boy pants on and grow the hell up and embrace the most powerful energy source available to humanity.
Still better then fossil fuels, but I would much prefer Nuclear.
Where's the Climatard cult ?
worried about radiation ? with coal the radiation in the thorium in coal is just exhuasted into the air for us to breathe, with a reactor , its all contained in the core , never to be released, then carefully stored [ how 'bout out at the nuclear test range?] until fast spectrum reactors can consume it as well
holy fwark whom is this dude and why havent we seen him before *gasp*
Good waste of money to little or no advantage
Why isn't Australia a world leader in battery manufacture ?
Labours renewable energy goals for the whole of Australia can't be done by two thousand and thirty under Federal Labours current plan.
It could be done by two thousand and forty but only with some changes to the types of renewables used and some new designs and layouts embraced. With concentrated renewable power plants in suitable locations out of sight in remote locations it is possible to have a very high percentage of renewables in the grid.
Unfortunately Small to Medium Modular Reactors are not meeting expectations with economies of scale involved in the lack of availability at the current time so they might not be the best option for the Australian power mix at the moment. Renewables might be the cheapest form of power but are certainly not the most consistent. A high percentage of baseload power will be needed going forward to keep the grid stable. The Chinese are the big winners with the new Australian vehicle emmisions standards because the price of Chinese Hybrid and Electric Vehicles undercuts virtually all of the competition.

Back to horses y’all..
The dream of stopping the electrification of the world will not materialize. EVs will win and will soon need much more electrical energy because EV manufacturers will soon produce and sell 25,000$ EVs. EVs will then be cheaper than ICE cars. Moreover, in 2024, solar energy is the cheapest form of energy. In other words, EV cars will soon be cheaper to buy and to use, which means that they will win.
There is no dream to stop it. Electrification just requires technology that actually works. The simple truth is that solar is ineffective for the scale of electricity generation we need: not enough, can’t store enough and supply can’t meet demand. That is without replacing our ICE fleet with millions of EVs.
Nuclear is the future of electricity generation- nothing else can do it- you just need to better understand the physics and engineering.
EVs are similarly not good enough as a technology yet. Too expensive, too short a battery lifespan and too short ranged, especially when towing. The charging takes too long and the infrastructure is not installed at the scale required yet and it too is exceptionally expensive.
Electrification will come, but not yet and not quickly because the technology is not ready yet.
Not a silver bullet solution either: electricity will not power aircraft or ships, nor will it be suitable for large trucks.
Carbon neutral fuels and hybrid ICE will be part of the effort to decarbonise. As must hydrogen- again the tech is not ready for that yet either.
All technology must be utilised to decarbonise transportation.
Luckily we already have geothermal, hydroelectric and nuclear energy to provide baseload electricity supplies.
Intermittent energy like wind and solar will never do it all on their own.
@@polarbear7255 To conquer the market, electric cars (EVs) only have to be technically superior to the Internal Combustion Engine cars (ICE). It’s clearly the case.
1. EVs are simpler to make: Tesla, for instance, has reduced the number of pieces for the front part of the vehicle from 70 pieces to only one. (It’s the same thing for the rear part of its vehicles.)
2. Tesla, BYD and Volvo demonstrated that it was possible to produce profitable EVs; something legacy producers like GM or Toyota are unable to do. It’s because they feared bankruptcy that many companies stopped producing EVs.
3. The price of EVs is falling rapidly due to the rapidly falling price of their batteries (- 30% in 2023).
4. No cobalt or nickel are used to produce the most modern EVs.
5. EVs pollute much less than ICE cars, especially when they move.
6. EVs are more stable on roads because their heavy batteries are located at the bottom of the car.
7. EVS protect better their occupants when there is a collision due to the rigidity of their battery packs.
8. There are fewer than ten (10) moving parts in an EV engine compared to more than a thousand in an ICE car.
9. EVs accelerate more rapidly than ICE cars when their drivers try to overtake other cars.
10. The brakes on an EV last much longer due to their regenerative braking system.
11. The dashboard of an EV is much simpler to produce since almost all the controls are on the on-board computer.
12. There are fewer liquids in an EV (windshield cleaning fluid, battery fluid).
13. EVs are roomier than ICE cars because their engines are much smaller.
14. Most technical problems on an EV can be solved ¨over the air¨ without having to go to a dealer.
15. EVs don’t need to go to the dealer for regular maintenance.
16. Everybody can buy an EV on the Internet without having to go to a dealer.
17. Recharging an EV is 80% cheaper than filling the tank of an ICE car.
18. Nowadays, there are multiple ways to produce electricity. (N.B. In 2023, solar panels are the cheapest way to produce electricity).
19. Nowadays, charging stations are everywhere while the number of gas stations is decreasing.
20. Contrary to ICE cars, EVs can be recharged at home.
21. EV owners say they have no problem with the autonomy of their vehicle.
22. If EVs explode from time to time, 200,000 ICE cars explode every year in USA.
23. Etc.

Home rooftop solar is still a great way to power homes, however large scale wind and solar is a massive money pit and have dangerous environmental repercussions at the end of their service life. The cheaper and more long-term environmentally friendly alternative is nuclear.
Actually no. In terms of cost per kWh grid scale GW class nuclear reactors can provide electricity at a cheaper cost per kWh than your rooftop solar.
Nuclear is extremely cost competitive with wind and coal and only marginally more expensive than grid scale solar PV, but is more reliable with a capacity factor at least 3 times higher.
Rooftop solar systems also fuel a negative feedback loop of increasing consumer electricity prices. The more that is installed the more energy companies have to hike prices to maintain profit margins.

@@polarbear7255either way, rooftop solar provides some daytime resilience.
If power lines break due to a fire or storm or crash, rooftop solar can continue to provide power.

The chances of a giant plant going down is higher than the chances of all rooftop solar going down at once.

Yes it does. But you need to be able to disconnect from the grid and have a large enough battery with back up generator. Not every one can do that.

Clean Energy Australia 2024 report:The report found that renewables overall accounted for nearly 40 per cent of Australia’s total electricity supply at 39.4 per cent, while figures for generation capacity added were strong at 5.9 GW, up from 5 GW in 2022
How much energy is generated on a windless night. Let me do the math. 0+0 =0.
And you point is???? And 40% is about the reasonable maximum for wind and solar. Every night the sun goes down and solar panels don't generate electricity from moon light. Most summer nights the wind also drops to near zero about 10.00pm along the East Coast. So for about the next 8 hours solar and wind produce NOTHING. What do you think will power the aluminum smelter?? Fairy dust?
