“Up to $3 billion in promised power price relief for householders will be rebadged as a cost-of-living centrepiece in the May budget, after design complexities and disagreements pushed back the intended rollout date beyond April….. The $3 billion in power bill discounts, to be co-funded by the states and Commonwealth, will be kicked around by federal and state leaders at national cabinet on Friday, but nothing will be finalised……As part of the December deal between the Albanese government and the states to cap gas and black coal prices to limit energy cost increases, they agreed to co-fund one-off power bill discounts for low- and middle-income households.”

Another National Cabinet and still no minutes of the meeting.

“These solar panels are made out of plastic, silicon, aluminium, glass and copper, with small amounts of toxic materials such as lead and hexavalent chromium. The challenge, when it comes to recycling, is separating the valuable materials from the hazardous. The process requires acids, which can also be toxic, and heavy machinery, which is energy-intensive. At the moment, those who are attempting to recycle these panels admit it is “cheaper to put them in landfill” than recover what value remains.”

For those who have been following the con job that renewables are, this isn’t new information but it’s worth repeating as the renewable propaganda never ends.

“Port Macdonnell, the southernmost town on the state's Limestone Coast, is home to about 800 people. Off its coast, the Southern Ocean has some of the most productive southern rock lobster waters in the country.

Offshore wind developer Blue Float Energy has announced plans to build a 77-turbine wind farm between 8 kilometres and 20km out to sea, which the company says would generate 1.1 gigawatts of clean energy.

"No matter what their studies say, we know it's going to affect our businesses, our environment, our whales, everything that lives there," he said.”

Correct - there is nothing good about wind turbines. Bad for jobs, bad for energy supply and bad for the environment.

“More than two dozen renewable energy projects lodged with the Commonwealth for assessment could damage precious koala habitat, posing a delicate environmental conundrum for the Albanese government.”

Renewables are a threat to Koalas. Given the land footprint of wind, solar, transmission lines and battery metals I can’t say I’m surprised.

“Parts of eastern and central Australia have just recorded their coolest summer in more than a decade, but La Niña's loosened grip meant rainfall was well below recent years……The wildcard this summer was a spell of unusually cold weather over south-east states in December, with temperatures as much 15 degrees Celsius below normal and five days of snow recorded in the alps.”

Not really the global warming experts were predicting is it?

“This is the view of wind turbines from a boat at night. They have lights on them for marine and air traffic. This will be seen from our shores.”

I never thought about this, but wind turbines need their own lighting and transponders to ensure the safe navigation of aircraft and shipping.

Fancy having to navigate a ship through a maze of concrete pylons in the dark!

Lithium can be extracted via two ways - hard rock mining which is used in Australia or brine recovery which is used in South America.

Lithium brine recovery is a time consuming process. Water is pumped to the surface and into a series of evaporation ponds. Over a period of months, the water slowly evaporates and a variety of salts precipitate out, leaving a brine with an ever-increasing concentration of lithium.

Lithium extracted by brine recovery requires enormous amounts of water to produce a single tonne. The creation of the infrastructure required to produce “clean” energy is a ecological disaster in the making.

Climate change zealots: “The Science is settled…how dare you question Scientists”

Scientists: “There is something in the order of 40 major climate models in the world….There are some processes in the climate where they are using different solution methodologies to try and solve those.”

The lies and propaganda need to stop.

Big Immigration is just a ponzi scam the government is using to make GDP numbers look good.

Meanwhile the housing and rental crisis is going to get even worse as 650,000 new arrivals need to find a place to live.

We need #netzero immigration so infrastructure can catch up.

“Queenslanders can soon get thousands of dollars back in cash for buying electric vehicles like the Tesla 3 under an expanded government scheme designed to get “working families” into greener cars.

The state government on Friday confirmed its $3000 electric vehicle rebate — first launched in July 2022 – would be doubled to $6000 from mid-year for households with a combined yearly income of $180,000.

Families making more than that can still claim the $3000 rebate.”

So the Queensland government is going to make poor people pay for rich people's cars.

The Premier has no idea or sense of fairness.

“Electricity prices will take years to return to pre-pandemic levels and Labor's pledge to triple the amount of renewable energy in the grid by 2030 is at risk as the nation is failing to build enough green power, top business leaders have warned.”

Green power is causing the cost increase, not alleviating it.

Labor and the Greens have no idea.

This is a 15-minute video that breaks down crucial facts about the environmental and safety concerns associated with electric vehicles and lithium batteries.

Many so-called "clean energy" solutions, including EVs, are not "green."

EVs are RESOURCE HOGS and ENERGY HOGS using huge amounts of both in manufacturing.

That's why they'll always be more costly than petrol and diesel cars.
