“PARLIAMENT OF FOOLS”

(Sep. 23, 2020) — The new Australian Government energy roadmap asks us to bet on “clean hydrogen, energy storage, green steel and aluminium, carbon capture and storage, and soil carbon”.
Like the worst spec-stock spruiker they promise to streamline regulations and legislation to encourage these mal-investments.
NOT ONE of these items will generate reliable low-cost 24/7 electricity. EVERY ONE will risk huge capital expenditure chasing green rainbows. NOT ONE will improve the climate. ALL obey foreign/UN agendas.
If this is the best the LNP can offer we may as well vote Green/ALP to precipitate the inevitable energy crisis.
When that real emergency comes, voters will punish this bi-partisan Parliament of Fools.
