Australians, who were falsely promised by Labor at the 2022 election that their household power bills would be $275 cheaper, want reliable and affordable power generation.

If the Albanese government continues down a renewables-only path that excludes gas and zero-emissions nuclear, expect more Tomago smelter Billionm$$$ bailouts in the near future and fewer data centres

The home Battery boom shows most people expect price of electrity to rise. Which directly contradicts Chris Bowens frequent statements that renewables are cheaper. and the price of electrity will get cheaper.

RE "....Look to Australia if you want to see how these energy policies work out in the long run......"

The timeline is several years

RE "...how the propaganda against green energy...." One problem is statement are made , that depend on certain definitions , where the definition is not what a reasonable person would expect. Such as statements about costs of renewables. How exactly is the cost of renewables measured.?

I'd have to say there are lots people who do not believe the government is acting in their best interests. Its one of the reasons why Pauline Hanson's "One Nation" party has gained a lot of traction.

The comment is factually correct, It's a inconvenient truth. Battery deployment is not free.Someone (the taxpayer) pays.

I suspect after they are quite widely deployed. Government could change conditions in future that they must be available as virtual power plant (VPP)

There has been a rush on these since people want access to cheaper power and they believe to avoid the power increases to come. That there will be big increases in power , especially during peak time is the forced introduction of smart meters which allow easy tariff change etc ....

RE "....consumer prices went down...."

A bit misleading comment .. Yes , but after prices went up from renewables
