Nationals Senator Matt Canavan says the Albanese government’s plans for energy production are “failing”.
“The people running our electricity grid, all the governments in charge of electricity have all signed up for this net zero madness,” he told Sky News host Rita Panahi.
“They’ve all been telling us they can shut down our reliable coal-fired power stations and replace them with mythical renewable energy.
“And their plans are failing, they’re failing before our eyes.
“They’ll try and blame everybody else for their problems, but the facts are that they’re the ones in charge.
“The buck has got to stop with these green zealots that have taken over our energy system and hundreds of thousands of Victorians have paid the price overnight and still today.”

Welcome to the third world 😂
And they are stuffing it in the dunny
One of the biggest cults going at the moment. The climate cult.
Victoria's Pallis & Allan run Economy is a steaming wreck…..so i guess it makes sense the Energy sector run by Lily D'Branchstacka would be the same
Ffs
Build new Gas and Coal Power Stations.
Also, get building our 1st Nuclear power stations
Renewables are not even a real thing
No such thing as Renewable Energy
Nothing wrong with converting… Converting to green energy.
Which means… It has to replace existing needs with existing efficiency and reliability, and have room to push generation for excess need.
To do it any other way is social suicide.
Net-Stupid will bankrupt Australia. Realists can see the obvious stupidity of wrecking a mansion, to put up a tent.
Both sides of politics have pushed this bs for years!
Coal and gas are reliable sources of power, wind and solar aren't. No worries, let's go for wind and solar. Suicidal.
B.S.Bowen needs to be sacked before Australia becomes the laughing stock of the world !
Victoria regressing into the Queen Victoria era. 😂😂😂😂
Question has been asked .. absolute silence What level of Net Zero ? Currently the Planet sits at 4 % .. at 2 % all Living Plants Die so to do Animals Next are Humans so what is the real Goal Here .. the Extermination of the Human Race This is the Cultural Marxists Climate Change Theory at work .WEF UN Agenda IPCC . its about Controlling the Populations of every nation while depleting the Natural Resources .. and a term the WEF use is ECOCIDE .. translation is the Total Destruction of the Natural Environment and the Bread baskets Agricultural Freedoms of Nations remember this you will eat bugs and be happy while owning nothing but the Elites Politicians Billionaires will Eat Steak owning everything that was Once yours ..Meanwhile you pay the price in High Inflation having to sell a Kidney to put proper food on the Table.. the New World Order very dystopian
Victoria is finished. The future is bleak indeed, another 3 years of the Victorian Labor Government will destroy employment and families. You can't make this up, the people in charge are absolute lunatics.
Why are they calling out the green energy ”zealots” when my understanding it’s a fossil fuel plants that has failed! Surely this proves that fossil fuel has lost its way? Is sky news part for the 1% that want to keep the 99% reliant on fossil fuel? Solar and battery is now the cheapest form of electric, does the person being interviewed not done his home work before appearing on tv? 😂
Well done bone head Bowen what an arshole
Some serious investment is needed to stop this from happening again. No more blackouts.
Matt your – electrical blame skills are interesting – there appear to be a number of wind damaged high voltage transmission towers. My understanding is that the SEC assets and intellectual property were sold off to private interests by a Kennett Liberal Government – now this is all Labor’s fault! If the transmission lines between the generator and the end user are damaged due to high winds the power isn’t going to flow regardless of the generation method – fossil fuel, nuclear or renewables.
Hi there,you can not educate these people there are completely brain dead
No power no money bring on the cashless society
Vic government needs to get those diesel generators going while repairing loy yang
There is one question that is never addressed that would expose the "climate crisis" for the scam that it is, which is "What percentage of the atmosphere is CO2?" The answer, never given in plain language, is that CO2 is currently around 420 parts per million, (google it) increased, they tell us, from 280 ppm in 1850. That's a difference of 140 ppm, or in terms more readily understood by the layman, the composition of the atmosphere has changed by 0.014% (14 thousandths of 1%) in the last 170 years. LESS THAN 1 THOUSANDTH OF 1% PER DECADE! How much closer to "zero" do they think it's possible to get? How gullible do you have to be to believe that this rate of change is causing extreme weather events, which have always happened and always will? Their claim is that this tiny amount "traps heat". ALL gasses dissipate heat and even if CO2 is an exception, the suggestion that a total of 0.042% can overwhelm the capacity of the remaining 99.958% to dissipate that heat is abject nonsense. CO2 DOES NOT control the global temperature, there is no "climate crisis". Wind farms, solar panels, heat pumps, EV's.. None of these measures are necessary, nor will they have the slightest effect on the weather. Eye-watering sums of money have already been wasted on this futile exercise. Time to wake up, stop throwing our money at these boondoggles and squandering the world's resources on projects that cannot possibly succeed as there never was a problem to begin with. There is no need to save the planet from a minuscule increase in the gas on which all life depends, but it does need to be rescued from idiot politicians and media mouthpieces that push this garbage.
Yep, Chairman Albo has a deal with China. Totally destroy our manufacturing and buy from China…please, please vote the Chairman outtttt.
It's a scam.
The LNP needs to make it their official policy to withdraw Australia from the Paris Accord and to repeal the renewable energy targets legislation and repeal the ban on nuclear power plants.
We are currently burdened with a large cohort of dishonest duplicitous politicians who are colluding with ridiculous and economically destructive popular delusions.
We are misappropriating massive amounts of taxpayers money and resources into uneconomical and unreliable renewable energy projects whilst simultaneously exporting large amounts of coal, natural gas and uranium. This is ludicrous and needs to stop.
More Anti Human Policies .
The libs have sign up for the net zero as well time to end the two party preferences policy
Don't worry you will have no electricitrical power and be happy.
The destruction of Australia's electrical generation system is of course a long term communist goal to destroy Capitalist Australia, in order to get it to fall to communism.
Along with division of the country using racism, destruction of its manufacturing, agriculture and mining industries using the EPA and invasion of our country by third World peoples to overrun our civilisation.
There is no such thing as "human caused global warming" now morphed into "climate change" as the Earth HAS NOT warmed for the last 7 years plus, as tens of thousands of independent, well qualified Physicists, Geologists, Engineers and Others have been saying since Day 1.
Get rid of Dutton and put Canavan in charge.
The stupidity of the hard left Marxist Labor Party is laughable. These storms ALWAYS happen. That's Melbourne weather. Period!!
Over the past 550 million years, the average global temperatures range from 8°c to 22°c, now 13°c. There is no relationship between CO2 and temperature. However, CO2 has dropped from 7000ppm to the current 350ppm. The current temperature is in the normal range and CO2 is dangerously low for life. Why the urgency to freeze and starve millions of people to death? The incessant call for human sacrifice by the climate death cult is a crime against humanity! They believe in junk science, not empirical science.
I got a feel, our gov trying to destroy our country. not sure why?
Hou fuvking clowns.
All we need is reliable power.
Its not a large engineering challenge, certainly not one that cant be solved by good engineering.
The problem is our stupid politicians and their obsession with staying in a job.
Instead of the wasteful Gov incentives for EV’s, the development of solar/wind farms and the hideously expensive proposed new transmission lines… the money and incentives should have been invested for home solar and batteries!!
A more distributed approach that would not only have a greater environmental benefit than any EV, but can assist in grid stability and provide homeowners with “backup” energy when these things happen.
…and if the grid operators still want to cry “the grid wasn’t designed to operate in that way”, then use the money for the proposed new transmission lines to upgrade the existing infrastructure so it can!!! In the process saving the unfortunate land owners who will be subject to the new lines.
In mirboo they have a diesel powered generator running next to the ev charging station lol
The green energy scam is a brilliant plan to transfer tax payers money into the elites pockets
They sell thd gas overseas for 10 cents and buy it back for $3.00 – disgraceful.
China is building 20 gas power staions a month. WTF. We are crippling ourselves on purpose. It's all part of the GREAT RESET ZERO EMISSIONS MISSION IMPOSSIBLE, but not for the Chinese, oh no. They can cause all the pollution they need, thats NO problem. Fasking morons.
Wasn’t net zero initiated by the previous liberal government?
Has the liberal party changed its policy?
There is no point to turning off coal plants in NSW and QLD where the coal is high carbon and dry. Victoria has low carbon and wet coal. Hence, why Victoria is best using sources of power other than coal.
Transmission towers
Just looking at the photo of the transmission Tower that failed one can determine that it obviously not built to the proper standard that is required a little bit of wind in a storm is not supposed to cause a failure.
Corporation that built it and the politician that approved it should be taken to court and jailed for negligence.
i have to remind every one most of the problems come from in city greens and a goverment that needs 10 percent of the votes to gain goverment and will do wot ever it takes to get that vote / all the black outs were caused from power lines under trees and branches falling on those lines / wen you cant cut the stuff that is over hanging power lines because greens jack up about clearing over hanging trees and branches from power lines wot do u think is going to happen wen the storm hits / towers buckle because of the way they are built and the steel that is used lot of wieght hold those power lines on top of thoses towers
already the laughing stock of the world, sorry, Im not the only one thinking like that
The green wet dream .
