Australia's "energy security" is now in serious peril at the hands of the Albanese government.
The fixated and uncompromising ideological position which prime minister Anthony Albanese and energy minister Chris Bowen has with renewable energy spells doom for reliable and uninterrupted power supply in most areas of Australia over the coming decade.
The government's Net Zero based agenda, aided by certain state leaders, notably Victoria's Daniel Andrews, to phase out all coal fired electricity by stealth, with absolutely no common sense infused regard for "energy demand realities", appears to be as nefarious as it is stupid and shortsighted.
It cannot be disputed, that without any coal fired electricity at all, with only renewable energy sources, there is going to be a heck of a lot of blackouts from here on in.
Very long blackouts. Potentially, for hours and hours on end. Not half an hour or an hour.
Besides householders, imagine the devastating impacts that prolonged and frequent power outages will have on industry.
This is the kind of dystopian energy future which the Albanese government is setting Australia up to be lumbered with.
All because of the totally unrealistic, nonsensical expectations which the prime minister and energy minister have about renewable energy uptake.
Yes, renewable energy has its place in the scheme of things, it should have, but it's never in a million years going to fully replace the need for coal and gas. Until the government adopts that rationale we may as well all stock up on candles and restore the kerosene lanterns.
