it will eventually be the number 1 issue in australian politics.
cheap power is the backbone of a competitive economy.
coal is cheaper and more reliable then wind or solar.
coal is going to keep being dug up and sold to our direct trading competitors.
china and india are surging ahead.
china is now the biggest provider of aid to the pacific islands and new guinea.
they will continue to push hard to control australia.
they own ports and agricultural land.
india is also gathering strength.
40 % of Ph D students and 40 % of new entrepreneurs in the USA are indian.
the chinese and the indians will GLADLY burn our coal and then buy our country out from under our feet as our businesses go broke tying to pay for expensive wind and solar power.
wind power is european owned and installed and the profits go back to europe.
they are rent seekers.
right now, at 6.12 am, wind is providing 4 % of the power to the national grid.
soon australia will face a choice....build coal fired power stations or become a third world country with indian and chinese owners of business.
and if the unions think that they get a bad deal from employers now, just wait til all profitable businesses are run by chinese or indian interests.
.
those guys care nought for penalty rates or OH and S.
so wake up, ditch the reknewable energy gaurantee and start building coal fired power stations here.
it really is that simple
