Is the renewable rollout starting to have the wheels fall off

'First it was Twiiggy's Green  hydgeon, next it's the solar panel manufacuring facility in the Hunter Valley scalling back.

Now we have 2 solar projects at Carisbook in Vic and Morgan in SA have been cancelled being not cost effective.

I wonder if the big bucks given to Twiggy, Cannon-Brooks,Turnbull and others be paid back.

Well, I am pretty much pro renew, but I have a pile of coal at the back of my place, and I use it  to heat my place when I can't get wood, so as heating with electricity is bloody expensive, if they want us to use any electricity, they have got to lower prices, otherwise I will be using my coal for the next ten years.

I will just have to go out to my van to live. It does great on solar. Won't be able to move anywhere though. Couldn't afford (or get) possibly diesel. Ah what a mess.

One of our major Australian petrol sellers has just switched off it's EV charging station expansion plans for one simple reason, the national grid will not supply the power on existing networks, requiring a major upgrade. Is Casanova Bowen listening? like hell they are, ideology over facts any day.

Hold the press.

Victoria has announced it will have 95% power from renewables by 2035, with no coal and very little gas. I think this is a fairy tale !

 More than a  fairytale Gundog.   Can you believe anything this mob says.

The crap keeps on coming and the idiots keep believing them.

Glad I don't stand in that line.
