Sky News host Caleb Bond says it is time to “put a bullet” in Australia’s net zero goals.
Mr Bond joined Sky News host Sharri Markson to discuss the recent decision to build more solar panels in Australia.
“I and others often refer to it as the green dream, and anyone who’s ever worked with animals will know that the green dream is what you give an animal when you put it down,” he said.
“Well it’s time to administer the green dream to the whole net zero business because it’s just simply impossible.
“Basically everyone in the energy sector acknowledges that.”

It currently cost 20 billion and 15 years in USA to build a hydro power station and dam, if long haul trucks alone were electric they would need 20 times more dams for clean power
Invest your own money Combet, Leave other people's money alone
And what everyone forgets in this suicidal drive to net zero is that even if we were there now the total annual contribution that Australia makes to world co2 is just over 1% (China is 27%). So we are driving over a cliff and destroying our economy for virtually zero impact on global temps.
Net Zero = Net zero benefits to Australians…and huge damage to the environment.
Aussies aren't into political point scoring exercises-they know what's best.
Australian households and businesses installed a further 272MW of solar PV on their rooftops over the month of March, new data shows.
net zero and climate change is political science. build coal power stations.
👍🥃
Net zero is impossible and unnecessary
China has scab labour won't beat that
EVs are dead! Car yards won't take used EVs. They are simply a disposable car! Nobody wants them!
Texas residents have contamination concerns after solar panel's damaged, https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rVaq3a-z9iU, supposedly 10,000 acres of solar farms damage
How convenient that he now controls “‘hundreds of billions of dollars” in the Future Fund !!!
What can Hail do to a Solar Farm? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=V7727Uixr5c, 3304 acres of damaged solar panels?
No one wants it but wef puppets and looney greenies… real environmentalist do the numbers.
Hundreds of billions? That clown Bowen told us renewables were free!
All of you who backed him have proved one thing. And one thing only. That, just like Bowen and the whole greens movement, you know NOTHING of economics, finance, science or how electricity grids operate.
Because if you did, you would have known the net zero was either a pipe dream or sure fire way to destroy the economy.
All these billions spend on renewables will have to be spent again in around 20years times to replace these useless renewables
Its impossible because it was NEVER POSSIBLE.
ANOTHER WORLDWIDE
"SHE HAM"
Nuclear Power Station’s in Australia
That guy has no clue what he is talking about!
U clowns are funny. Your mining bosses are exporting all these resources to get rich!!
Yes
Who the hell is coming up with this rubbish. Talk about a throw away society, we are throwing away billions of dollars in so many industries that are just failing.
The only "net zero" Australians want is net zero immigration!
Net zero will be the death of the planet. When are these crap politicians going to learn that CO2 is the life giver of all plants and trees.
Australia is already at 'Net Zero' and always has been. Using 2022 statistics, our forests, crops and grasslands absorb 77x the Co2 that we 'emit'. So our absorption ability negates all Co2 emissions from the next 18 countries combined within a 5000km radius of the centre of Australia, I would also suggest that almost ALL countries in the entire world have a similar equation. Thus easily disproving the bullsh*t that the insane left and their evil media propagate to the mindless masses.
Wow! Honest taxpayer money wasted on a full paid ministers wage and future fat pension for something totally fictional…
Well considering that gas (though abundant) is shipped overseas while we pay for companies the export it and charge our citizens extortianant pricing. Renewable is one option however it shouldnt be the sole goal
What a load of shit, we just installed solar panels and the bill keeps going up.
Dangerous Words Caleb, but can You be Held Responsible if Someone takes Your Words as Approval ?.
Nick Cater, So Keep Exporting Coal to China, Japan, Korea, India and Build Nuclear in Australia.
Horrible Advice Nick.
Encouraging to hear a Labor stalwart telling the truth for a change.
YET….
Please bring on election
Climate has been changing since the last ice age. The less ice the faster it melts elementary, No one can stop climate change only idiots think they can stop aging.
net zero is impossible even microbes create co2, to get net zero you would have to kill all life on the planet.
Net Zero, what a joke. How about you fix Alice Springs and the housing crisis and the cost of living crisis and immigration issues
Net zero emissions is a ridiculous, utopian fantasy that is totally unachievable.
Way too much anus kissing going on in parliament to the WEF and multi national corporations, Elbow sold us out, big time, the worst is yet to come with CBDC, digital ID, choking out the farmers blah blah blah…..
Net Zero mean Aussie's net =$0000 – China's net = BIG BILLIONS $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$
"Investment".
Riiight.
A vast solar array in TEXAS was WIPED OUT last week by a massive golf ball sized HAIL STORM LASTING A FEW MINUTES. What will happen to all those tens of thousands of smashed up solar panels that cannot be reclaimed? Like those spent wind generators lying unreclaimable in Texas fields rotting?
