That could be said for the history of all Marxist's but they don't care. Communism is about consolidation of power by weakening the independence of a nation. By controlling supply and consumption by dictionary definition, it never has worked. But to those at the helm could care less, they like nihilism and destruction while making their cronies and puppet masters rich, and at the expense of the people who end up with nothing in the end. A double whammy loss to the taxpayer !
@LNEREAST Off shore wind farms yes - particularly during construction in the territory of endangered whale species - but you laugh it up and keep sipping your soy lattes while animals die for no good reason. Bats, birds, insects, road kill on access roads, and marine animals, not to mention the habitat/ecosystem destruction required to build them.
@LNEREAST Sure I believe you, that's why the word Trump came out of your mouth when no one was talking about him. But if you're for real then good on ya political atheists all the way!
The thing is wind farms are killing whales in numbers never seen before. The noise from pile.driving and.even just normal operation prevents them from hunting.
Dick Smith was a founding father and visionary for Technology in Australia in the 70's/80's and onward, well before many others caught on. His opinions on this subject are worth serious consideration.
I remember when the Chinese shot bullets into Dick's helicopter on his round the world trips. He was a threat to them 40 years ago as he is today, with China's Labor supporting destruction of secure energy.
@nicethings2070 Didn't the Chinese like the environmental vandalism of flying helicopters around the world for no reason? Is Dick going to get a nuclear helicopter?
Also known as the energy transition delusion. The false and delusional belief that transitioning to non fossil fuel energy sources will be cheap and easy.
If you think electricity is expensive now, wait until the investors want their over priced dividends. Bowen won't tell anyone about the greatest stitch-up in history.
Renewables are a malinvestment. They are a colossal waste of taxpayers money and resources. A few green carpet baggers temporarily benefit at everyone else’s expense. The current government’s energy policy is industrial scale economic vandalism.
It is a colossal waste of taxpayers money and resources in addition to being a blight on the countryside. The largely useless renewable energy equipment will soon end up in landfill. Worldwide over 10 trillion dollars have already been spent on the futile attempt to prevent small, largely beneficial and theoretical changes to the Earth’s climate. Global carbon dioxide emissions have continued to increase. This costly exercise in futility needs to be abandoned.

They never include the cost of power storage when comparing renewables to base load sources. Our leaders are all about the investment $$$ not the outcome.
I am more than happy with coal. Fix the current mess with a couple of modern coal stations on the same sites as current ones. Add some gas so the grid can ramp up and down as needed. Then Plan for the future by developing and building some nuclear plants as well as processing the uranium locally. And let solar and win compete without subsidies on a level economic playing field.
Australia is one of the top exporters of LPG gas worldwide. WA has a gas reserve with a set price of $3 a Gj; The rest of the country was getting screwed with high gas prices ($12+ Gj), that directly affects the electricity prices. This is where the attention needs to be focused and urgently!
What is logical about depending on apparently massively changing weather for reliable energy? Climate crisis being an issue according to activists, seems to mysteriously get ignored for wind AND solar.
With nuclear you get a drum of waste every 5yrs. So 3 drums. A wind turbine has 15yr life span, the waste is huge. It’s 10X waste. Solar farms are even more waste and again not recyclable only frame is.
Hand up who owns a modern phone. Keep your hand up if you've had a phone where the battery has worn out. That's how long batteries last - if you buy a battery big enough to run a city when the wind isn't blowing, it costs multi-tens of millions, it lasts as long as a phone battery until you have to buy another one all over again and you are left with an old worn out battery full of heavy metals that is a disaster to get rid of.
Not only that! charging a battery and using a battery as a power source is inefficient you lose energy(heat is generated) in both situations and the bigger the battery the worse it gets!
Maybe total renewable energy production could have worked out when Australian population was 20 million , but soon the population will be 40 million maybe 50 million . Labour dialled up the immigration a few notches.
5 million or more, cheap by comparison to the potential bushfire damage and loss of life that can ensue from these wind farms and renewable HV transmission lines, people often don’t consider these issues.
30,40,50,100 year's behind in so many ways now Australia. But the one thing you can guarantee most our Politicians will do after finishing their term. Is go get A golden elevator job in a resource sector. So now worries there.
What happens when the Sun does not shine and the wind does not blow? Here in N Queensland we have just gone through 5 months of day after day of heavily overcast calm days. A battery system big enough to cope would need to be absolutely massive and cost trillions of dollars. Nuclear is the only viable alternative. Bowen needs educating in basic science. There is no “free lunch”. Yes, Nuclear may be expensive and take several years to come on line but there is no viable alternative. Bowen’s plan for 82% renewables is insane. We are heading for a miserable existence with frequent blackouts and industry shutdowns.
Exactly bowen must be getting a huge payout ,no womder he has that stupid grin on his face.he doesnt care for Australia or the envoirment he is hellbent on destryoing it and all wildlife.😢
All these wind farms. So where does the power come from to start these windmills because they do not just start generating electricity when they start turning they need to be activated first
To be a politicians one has to be egotistical, not that worldly, full of bull, narrow minded, able to toe the line, looking for approval from others, belong to the / a club, able to make promises that are unrealistic and you full well know can not be kept. Dick Smith would not qualify for the job of Prime Minister, but sure he would do a much better job of it.
Can Sky News please do an investigation into nuclear power plants run on nuclear waste. Apparently Japan does this and it’s old working technology from the 1960s in the US, but government policy at the time abandoned the idea instead of using it. It greatly reduces the amount of waste that is radioactive and its lifespan for storage from thousands of years into hundreds.
Welcome to Country I am Australian this is my country and all Australian's country Was then and always will be. SO CHINA AND LABOR Stick your disenfranchising psyops
We never hear about Global Warming and the Civil Aviation business in the same sentence. In the 1990s I chaired several IATA meetings in Geneva and around the World on "Aviation and the Global Warming dilemma" and the conclusion then was that there is no alternative power source with the right Energy Density to replace AvGas!! And this applies equally to all the Ground Support equipment such as Push-Back tractors, baggage carts, Mobile stairs and Conveyor belts!! Some may be replaceable, but not the whole fleet!! The problem is "Energy Density" which electricity lacks!!
The current mean annual surface temperature of Earth is suboptimal. A modest amount of warming would have the net beneficial effects of increased agricultural yields, reduced winter heating costs, fewer deaths from hypothermia and postponement of the next glacial maximum. Net Zero is prohibitively costly, impractical and totally unnecessary. It is economically destructive delusional insanity. The result of ridiculous popular delusions triumphing over critical thinking and common sense due to weak and corrupt politicians.
New woke GG Samantha Mostyn who was just sworn in gets 2 serviced mansions in Sydney, free private air travel, drinks & food for life, with a $214,000 pay increase to $709K before she got into office & then $410K a year on retirement for life, is an activist, hates the monarchy, has no qualifications for the GG position of ribbon cutter & calls Australia Day, ‘Invasion Day’, yeah, she wont be doing anything but fattening up at the trough with the other Labor treasoners. RIP till next election or sharpen a fork.
There was a fire in a wind tower the other day, It went out after a while, with minimal damage, but nobody has mentioned the out oof control fire in the underground coal mine at Moranbah still raging, and the poor residents locked in their houses to avoid the toxic smoke and pollution.
It will cost 2000x($100 quadrillion ) global GDP to get Australia fully renewable with batteries for 2 weeks or more of backup a nuclear power plant of large 1Gw plant will cost around $ 10 billion USD and when it comes to the waste we could ask india when they get their 3 stage thorium reactors to burn nuclear waste and the waste from that only needs to be buried for 300 years tops to be safe I am sure the source is the Illinois Energy Professor for my information on the cost of a power plant cost a LNG plant will cost in operating and construction costs what a nuclear plant costs to build before the nuclear plant is even built
@@alanc6781 do I really need to be politically correct I have been listening to so much on all this energy security we mine and sell uranium but we don't use it now that is politically incorrect of our government we don't use it we don't sell it should be our motto on that if we are against nuclear energy and weapons
Long term is that all houses that were built yesterday, need to be to be self sufficent, no power wires, no water, no sewage to save, all these are readly (built in Australia) available many years ago but you need a vision and will to see reality. No to short term thinking of continued revision on the same issue, we need A thinkers not C tinkers.
Nuclear power stations need water for cooling. As one of the driest continents on earth, where do we get this water from? Therefore, they have to be built near coastal communities to be able to source sea-water. Corrosive salt water that requires constant replacement of piping and associated infrastructure - read expensive. Base load power, yes - but very expensive power. Power stations along the coastal fringes of this country will require the buy up of very expensive real estate too. Then we either ship the waste off to France for more cost or get over the hang-up about burying it in the desert. Not an easy solution and has just as many negative points as wind and solar.
No such thing as nuclear waste with modern liquid Salt reactors. In fact previous nuclear waste can be used as a fuel. Also it is a lot easier to protect a bunker from terrorist attack. Rather than protect massive white towers spread over the country side.
Dick Smith now an expert on climate maybe he should tell the people in the Carribean why they just got hit by Beryl a cat 4 hurricane im sure the PM of Jamaica would be interested
Earth’s weather systems are driven by the transfer of thermal energy from the equator to the poles. Ocean currents greatly influence cyclone risk. The Gulf Stream allows them to migrate well north of the normal cyclone zone on the east coast of North America whilst the Humboldt current shields the west coast of South America from cyclones.

Also it is a lot easier to protect a bunker from terrorist attack. Rather than protect massive white towers spread over the country side.
Nice mug kenny 👌💪
Dick Smith now an expert on climate maybe he should tell the people in the Carribean why they just got hit by Beryl a cat 4 hurricane im sure the PM of Jamaica would be interested
Earth’s weather systems are driven by the transfer of thermal energy from the equator to the poles. Ocean currents greatly influence cyclone risk. The Gulf Stream allows them to migrate well north of the normal cyclone zone on the east coast of North America whilst the Humboldt current shields the west coast of South America from cyclones.
John Walker. Hmm. It sounds like you are full of it. You need to do some reading. Can you do that? Maybe ask mummy. Oh, sorry, to you the earth is flat. Now I understand.
Bull, D Smith bailed on the environment years ago.
And Labor's doing it right now.
He bailed his public participation because of the radical activists, so did Dr Patrick Moore, the co-founder of Greenpeace...look him up!
Labor is destroying our environment with their renewables, but also our energy grid & reliability, industry, culture & economy.
My comment was removed - Perhaps DS 'bailed' as you call it for the same reason Dr Patrick Moore (co-founder of Greenpeace) bailed. Look him up.
If anybody gets to see this, tell me why you think my original comment got removed.
And, just like that...my original comment reappears - WTF
I agree with Mr. Smith.
