‘We need to escape’: Government has a ‘toxic relationship’ with renewables
Sky News host Rita Panahi says the government has a “toxic relationship” with renewable energy with how it’s been pushed over the last few years.
Menzies Research Centre’s Nick Cater joined Ms Panahi to discuss the government’s dependence on renewables.
“Renewable energy is welfare-dependent as well as weather-dependent. It suffers from a condition a psychologist might recognise as dependent personality disorder,” she said.
“Nick, the way you describe this sector, you make renewables sound like some sort of a toxic relationship.
“We need to escape.”

I would be more impressed if they planned a solar panel recycling plant. After all, they are supposed to be renewable and environmentally friendly.

Solar panels use some really bad chemicals during manufacture which pollute rivers near the factories and kill all fish in them, and a lot of the parts aren't actually recyclable anyway. The majority are currently made in north China forced labour camps with terrible working conditions. Basically the manufacture, labour and recycling of solar panels are terrible.

Actually that's one of the reasons they want to make them in Australia. They actually can be manufactured to allow easier recycling. Chinese ones are harder to get the silver out.

Different components of renewables have different lifespans. So 10 to 20 years is not an unreasonable estimate. Less if you get a severe storm.
Love it. Comparing toxic renewable b.s. as a psychological problem.Yeah,take a look at the labor gov.
The Majority of Australians certainly don't have a love relationship with the renewable energy Con It is very evident that in just in the time frame of Federal Labor gaining power in 2002 and the introduction of Labor Net Zero Dream Australians have gone from having the cheapest reliable 24/7 power in the world to the worlds most expensive and np guarantee of reliability 24/7 in time of high usage Prices have risen about 40 percent in the past two years after wholesale costs exploded in 2023 the year of Federal Labor coming to power It is just one of the many costs since Labor was elected why ordinary Australians are suffering financial hardships

Germany which bases its energy policy on the climate delusion, the energy transition delusion and the nuclear power is unsafe delusion has the most expensive electricity of all major countries whilst Iran which did not sign the Paris Accord has the cheapest electricity of all major countries. Australia is currently basing its energy policy on the same delusional insanity as the Germans. Our electricity prices are heading in the same direction. We need to withdraw from the Paris Accord, repeal the renewable energy targets legislation and use the most economical energy resources available. Popular delusions are dangerous and can lead to economic ruin war and genocide.

Indeed. There are 2 mass psychoses in operation in association with a massive fraud ( misappropriation of taxpayers money and resources into uneconomical and unreliable renewable energy projects ). This is the biggest fraud in history and is capable of bankrupting wealthy countries such as Germany and Australia.
No wonder one cannot speak out about the absolute wastage that is wind and solar power when so many powerful people have their snouts in the trough.
Now i know not to buy these
No wonder nobody has cash ,a billion here a billion there.Money to Palastine ,Cambodia etc
Fairytale Renewables 😂🏳️🌈🌈🦄💅🏽 Looking forward to the Blackout Circus show 😂😂 🎪🎪
I can remember when entrepreneurs would raise their own capital against their own assets for projects the believe in .. then go for it.. not so now since taxpayers money has been made available by Albo, Bowen and the like.. I'd like a bit of this action Ha !
Australias air quality is rated better then places like Switzerland. Actually Australia has some of the cleanest air in the world. So why the pointless push towards renewables when there was no problem to begin with?
With a worldwide GLUT on solar cells, why are we wasting money like this?

No. I had no idea it was easter anything.
The Private sectors and the Government-Public sectors reconciliations regarding Important use of Renewable Healthy Energy Sources, for Installations at the sectors on a long term basis.
I wonder if anyone has asked why the energy prices worldwide have increased, even after the construction and operation of these sites? Were they charging batteries or something to sell, what infrastructure benefited from the energy collected? I expect energy or power rates to go down when multi million dollar renewable energy sites are setup. Were these sites connected to anything?
Nuclear energy is cheaper, cleaner, and more longer lasting than wind or solar. Has the there been any discussion by greens on how to dispose of the old wind turbines or solar panels? I want to hear what the Greens and Labor thinks about how we dispose of the chemicals from these overly subsidised renewable sources.... the first of the wind turbines and solar panels have already been decommissioned. What are Labor-Greens going to do about these?
Its a transfer of wealth to rich Grubs.
Renewables are uneconomical without taxpayer subsidies.

@@polarbear7255 read what I said. Using LCOEs and including system costs etc is the right way. Trying to come up with a metric like fslcoe is plain silly because it varies with every grid, with the types of loads, the types of uses, the storage, the firming, the other generators that are on the grid. Trying to come up with a metric like FSLCOE or VALCOE is a pointless exercise. It will vary geographically, temporally, and with each grid. LCOEs will vary as well but no where near as much so are much more useful.

Tell me what's green? Solar panels and wind turbines, batteries etc. are very dirty to make and equally dirty to recycle/dispose of.
Welfare Cheque pff, most of the old coal clankers are tax payer subsidised. Some to the tune of $120 million per year.
How about men claiming to be men and women claiming to be women? Now that would be a thing..
In 2014 an Australian scientist working from Qld University was a world leader in solar technology at the time, but he could get no support from the government of the time so he took his concepts OS. Does Murdochs press want us to stay reliant on Chinese imports. It seems that way. Australia has made many great innovations in technology but they all end up OS. Why. This is a great opportunity, to train, to manufacture, to provide more employment, why does Murdoch's press think this is a bad idea. The right wing has a very self serving and backward ideology.
Lets build a new coal fired power station or two, where the old ones stood, to tide us by while we build nuclear reactors.
