  1. That renewables are the cheapest form of generation IS a straight out lie, and Albanese knows it. He is insulting Australians by continually peddling this lie. It goes beyond a stand on energy and goes to the very heart of the credibility of Albanese. The facts are that while an individual solar/wind project is the cheapest generation form to build, as the percentage of renewables increases the total cost of the entire network increases. A lengthy explanation would be required to explain why, but in summary its due to the massive overbuild necessary due to the VERY low effectively of a wind/solar plant (only about 10%) and the need to maintain a near full scale backup solution. That is born out in practice ALL around the world, and is the official position of the International Energy Agency.

  2. If this video is an example of the new approach to politics that Albanese promised, all I can say is, to paraphrase a former Labor PM ... 'may god save the King, because nothing can save Australia".
