A recent report from the Centre for Independent Studies has revealed flaws in the Albanese government’s net zero plan.
Centre for Independent Studies released a report on ‘the six fundamental flaws underpinning the energy transition’ earlier this month, which challenges the claims made from energy reports that painted renewable energy as the cheapest alternative, including fossil fuels, despite any cost of carbon or other policy constraints.
Centre for Independent Studies, Energy Program Director Aidan Morrison joined Sky News host Chris Kenny to discuss some of the flaws underpinning the energy transition.
“One of the flaws we’ve outlined is, I call it match fixing the energy transition, they’ve said they’ve found the cheapest and that gives you the impression they’ve contested it against a few other alternative plans,” Mr Morrison said.
“But they actually don’t have any scenario that doesn’t contemplate us meeting all the renewable energy targets, and also the carbon budgets the very strict carbon budgets that actually see the electricity grid fold to almost zero carbon by 2035, we thought it was a net zero by 2050.
“The electricity grid according to the ISP has to be down by just about 2035 so they haven’t actually presented alternatives, they’ve just pretty much said there’s one horse in the race and this is it and where going to claim it’s the cheapest because it’s the only horse we’ve put in the race.”

Net Zero, a problem worldwide, for sure. Nuclear energy is the only sane option for baseload power but if you're a politician that invested heavily just prior to going green on energy, you're probably wanting to carry on lining your own pockets than using something as reliable as nuclear power.
Yeah it don't work.
It is all a scam.
Nothing flawed in their plan. They know they are one term and out, so they do some theatrics make it look like they will help with cost of living. Implement further pain for farmers/consumers re food pricing with sustainability goals, increase govt spending on aboriginal titles even though people voted NO, increased welfare, increased tax collection, make a song and dance about energy but then approve nothing that will reduce costs.
What are they proposing for added electricity when petrol diesel and gas are all removed. How much will backup batteries cost. ?Here inuk we estimate £30 trillion.At todays prices. Solar panels being made by fossil fuel industries.
The lunacy of “renewables” is being exposed globally for the scam that it is both in terms of environmental benefit (none) and massive cost rendering power grids unreliable.
Interesting way of out pricing coal fired generation and much the same as nuclear in the UK which has been regulated out of viability. Yet in France and other countries it’s entirely viable, produces no CO2 and is dependable whether or not the sun is shining and wind blowing. It’s a funny old world that the eco-zealots live in.
Does anyone understand how Marxism works? Good video to learn about it.
Oh boy, when are all of you hot shot experts going to finally wake up to yourselves, and realise that carbon is a solid, so it can not be emitted, unlike CO2, which is a gas? Have you all missed your science class? And the tragic fact is, that CO2 is NOT controlling the Earth's temperature, nor it is a pollutant! The warmist retards deliberately conflate CO2 with particulate pollution to push their BS. So please stop parroting these idiots and avoid using terms like "carbon pollution" or "carbon emissions".
The govt lied to you regarding the jab .
Same with renewables!
Let’s reduce our 1.2%. Carbon contributions , We can save the world.
How about net zero immigration in Australia
Please don't put Bowens face on anything. It makes me sick.
It is easy to find the errors and harder to find a solution. It is a problem for everyone around the world. It is the most complicated problem to solve. Either we do something or nothing. Even if we do meet net zero by 2050 there is the carbon dioxide already in the atmosphere which will impact weather events in the future.
Surge in powe r price is only beginning –
If the greenhouse actually existed, we would not have had the last 10 ice-ages. Because they all occurred after periods of high CO2.!
The biggest flaw in Australian supply is the current minster in charge.
Well done mate 👍 keep up the good work
Kenny, you need to be investigating why this destruction of our grid is happening. Follow the money,,,, you call it a scam, then find out why they are pulling this scam and blow up the whole thing. All we we is whinging and complaining why it won't work,,,,,, it's all being done for a reason, and its not about the climate.
So we are going to pay China 100's of billions of dollars for renewable energy components, and we'll have to rely upon them for parts and upgrades for decades to come.
A country that is threatening to invade a neighboring country, Taiwan, and is beating up on the Philippines from it's military bases in the South China Sea, only Bowen could think that, that is a winning long term strategy.
Flaws in Labor's renewable energy plan? What!!! Noooo!!!
