  1. 1. Expensive electric vehicles are elitist. 2. Solar panels alone doesn't solve transport energy. Read http://biomassproducer.com.au/case_study/crude-oil-from-green-biomass/#.XUgbMW8zb8A AU gov funded pilot program that produces crude oil from green biomass, hence it's renewable crude oil and reduce dependency from Middle East oil I already have midday reachable 3.5KW solar panels on my roof and drive Toyota/Lexus hybrids. Solar panels doesn't replace baseload power generation.

  2. https://notalotofpeopleknowthat.wordpress.com/2018/01/30/electricity-prices-double-in-s-australia-victoria/ Average wholesale energy prices in Victoria and South Australia have more than doubled since this time last year, as experts warn that blackouts and supply issues are likely to increase as state governments chase ­aggressive ­renewable energy ­targets. “Batteries and solar would not have saved Victoria as over 17,000 Victorians had no power throughout the night, when the sun isn’t shining,” Mr Vass said. “Pairing renewables with battery storage wouldn’t have done much to alleviate the blackout. By way of example, the Tesla battery facility in South Australia only provides power for an hour to 30,000 homes.” I don't need school kids and elistist to tell me what to do.

  6.  @chrisgriffiths2533  South Australia has one of the highest energy cost in Oz and it's South Australia's own doing.

  8.  @chrisgriffiths2533  False. LNP NSW's energy cost is lower than ALP Victoria and ALP South Australia. http://www.ectltd.com.au/power-pain-as-wholesale-energy-prices-double-in-a-year/ Average wholesale energy prices in Victoria and South Australia have more than doubled since this time last year, as experts warn that blackouts and supply issues are likely to increase as state governments chase ­aggressive ­renewable energy ­targets. Only since the closure of Hazelwood power station, which removed of 1600MW of baseload brown coal-fired power in March 2017, has Victorian pricing escalated to a level similar to SA’

  9.  @chrisgriffiths2533  ""About a Third of the Continent We could Power, Australia and Five other nations with that much Land" argument is bullshit. It's zero power production during the night.

  10.  @jjosephs6521  Australia needs it's own energy companies for it's own national security.
