Most cunning, isn't he?

Yes, but I think Lee's saying that's unfair, dear.

He can't stand the idea of getting free wind and sunshine, it's just not right.

Lee wants to see lots of pretty gas plants off the coast of Karatha, drill baby drilling and making the weather nice and warm for the plants.

Sorry - cold. Lee complained about America having frightfully cold weather in January - PROOF of the great climate scam.

Global warming's been called off, leftards. Lee said.

Quote him.

The problem is you don't think. even marginally.

You are so silly.

yes dear. the latest figures from AEMO. Did you believe that the figures jumped from 18% to 73% in 12 months?

I do. And in another year, South Australia is projected to reach 100%.

That, you see, is what a renewable energy rollout is. You start with fossil fuels, you make solar panels and windmills, stick them in the ground and Bob's your uncle. In a few year's time - you have electricity from the sun and the wind.

Now we know what you're up to, Lee. You're a little bit naughty - you're in the business of telling lies.

You don't make any money out of it, you just like fibs. Aquascoot told us all about it - it can't be helped, it's just what you do.

The rest of us have other ideas. South Australia, Tasmania, the ACT. We're on the way to renewable energy. We always tell the truth, as you know all too well. Even you trust our word. You?

You always fib, and you know that too. You know we're right, you're just having a laugh.

How does it feeeeel?

When a US nuclear submarine torpedoed an Iranian warship last week, the three Australians on board the American boat were reportedly ordered to their bunks.

This astonishing news nugget was unearthed by The Nightly’s Andrew Greene and the government has not denied it. We do not know whether our sailors were instructed to pull the doona over their heads, but Acting Defence Minister Pat Conroy did confirm that “they played absolutely no role in the offensive operation”.

It is hard to conjure a more perfect metaphor for Australia’s mindset in the face of grim realities: when the world gets rough, Australia reaches for the security blanket. We prefer the comfort of bedtime stories about international law, global order and middle-power potency to hard truths about real political and material power.

One of the Albanese government’s favourite fables is that the world is undergoing a rapid energy transition to cut carbon emissions. In this tale the shift from fossil fuels is swift, painless and profitable as the globe is saved from Armageddon by multinational wheels whirring in electric harmony. Hydrocarbons vanish as wind, solar and batteries power nations, electric vehicles hum through the streets and green industries sprout like flowers on the graves of dark satanic mills. Australia emerges as a clean energy superpower.

This story is echoed by a revolutionary guard of energy-illiterate politicians, bureaucrats, activists and subsidy-harvesting businesses. They are now on a unity ticket claiming the war-induced shortage of oil and gas proves Australia’s energy security lies in ditching fossil fuels and hitching our fortunes to the whims of the weather.

To believe this you have to ignore a basic truth: fossil fuels built the modern world and still sustain it. Wealth is energy converted into work. The more energy a society commands, the richer it becomes. The price of oil and gas underpins the price of everything.

Australia is rich in hydrocarbons and could shield itself from global shocks by exploiting the wealth beneath our feet. Instead our rulers have chosen to restrict the fuels that power our economy.  The irony is stark: the loudest voices warning about energy scarcity are the ones working hardest to create it.



After 20 years of “transitioning”, what percentage of Australia’s total energy demand do you reckon comes from fossil fuels and how much from wind, solar, hydropower and the egregiously named biofuels?


We do not have to guess at the numbers because they are reported by the government in Australian Energy Statistics under energy consumption.

“Fossil fuels (coal, oil and gas) accounted for 91 per cent of Australia’s primary energy mix in 2023-24,” the government website says. “Oil accounted for the largest share of Australia’s primary energy mix in 2023-24 at 41 per cent, followed by coal and gas both at 25 per cent. Renewable energy sources accounted for 9 per cent.”

He is in charge of energy policy.  He is an idiot, totally captured by the renewable zealotry of the rent-seekers and activists.

Listening to him, reading him and all the boosters for rapid energy transition and net zero in 10 year makes you realise that this is a rhetorical, torally unserious, deluded political project driven by economic illiterates.  The boosters are sniffing the political wind and harvesting subsidies.

Meanwhile, the real world runs on anything but piss 'n wind, solar and pumped hydro.

So the renewables are up to a whopping 9 % frank.

And that's courtesy of massive taxpayer subsidies.

Meanwhile the fossil fuels  generating 91 %. PAY taxes to support all the useful idiots
