Australia is building an ‘expensive’ energy system which will be ‘increasingly unreliable’
Sky News Australia 
Sky News political contributor Chris Uhlmann says Australia is building a “very expensive” electricity system which will be “increasingly unreliable”.
“Wind and solar simply cannot function without a dispatchable source of power, that will be gas and that will be gas for as far as the eye can see,” Mr Uhlmann told Sky News Australia.
“What we are building is a very, very expensive electricity system which will be increasingly unreliable.”
Chris Uhlmann’s new documentary ‘The Real Cost of Net Zero’ will be available to stream on SkyNews.com.au from Tuesday 19 November at 8pm.

It is the norm, when someone talks about coal, gas and solar energy, to be reminded by a message underneath the video, that global warming is an absolute truth. On this occasion, why has such a message absent?
Who is getting rich by this abomination??
We have already seen the results of the rush into renewables by energy companies with the Broken Hill blackouts
Transgrids rush onto renewables saw it caught with its pants down ,Transgrid neglected maintenance on its backup Diesel Generator ,the batteries were unable to cope with the demand
The one-operating diesel generator was operating at a reduced capacity of 14 MW (instead of 25 MW) and the 50 MW, 50 MWh battery was restricted to a maximum 11 MW because of the difficulties in keeping it in sync with the diesel generator
Energy SYSTEMS are struggling with the variability and output of rooftop solar, and local homes were asked to shut them down (if they knew how to do that safely)
The big wind and solar farms located in the region have become notoriously weak parts of the grid, resulting in their heavy restrictions.
The big question now about the green energy transition is not about the technology, but whether the regulatory processes, the rules, and grid management protocols are fit for purpose.
Transgrid has neglected the maintenance and replacement of aging transmission towers leaving them vulnerable to storm damage that we saw
Solar panels only produce expensive electricity, trees and green plants change CO2 into oxygen, and when trees matrure u can use to build houses, with no wast are polution, solar makes no sence only for houses and daylight
That looks like fertile farm land, Jesus said Famine and Pestilence in the latter days.
Electricity but no Food or Nutrition , they are turning us into weak anemic zombies.
WHO has a policy prepare if you get bit, by a Zombi
Can't wait for the Blackouts 🤣🤣
Albo needs to stop sending all our gas overseas and buying it back at inflated prices. What a joke.
We can't afford our own gas after lil Johny Howard gave it away, we miss out on about 170 billion in royalties every year but instead we get 3 billion. That's the problem. Give us our fair share of $$ for our resources and we would be the richest country in the world
Can't we somehow turn kangaroos and emus into energy?
Labor, as per usual, just love spending and wasting tax payers money! Bowen is going to go down in history as the biggest braindead idiot ever to hold a portfolio in an equally useless bunch of incompetent members of the Australian Labor party!!
Totally fake going green, it's a lie. They're pulling the wool over our eye's for what, more money from us.
As an experienced Electrical Engineer, this guy is 100% correct. I've been saying it for many years, but sadly our energy policy is dictated by numpties who don't know the difference between a megawatt and a megawatt-hour.
Bowen has to go.
One hail storm and that paddocks finnished…go green
When will Australians understand that CO2 has nothing to do with climate. There is no such thing as a GHE or GHGs both of which are lies being used to swindle you and make you pay high prices to make them rich!
Australia got hoodwinked but it doesn't have to go on that way. You already know how to produce the cheapest most convenient and most reliable system possible and burning coal is GOOD for the environment!!! Don't let the crooks and swindlers take away your prosperity!
Demand a return to coal and Make Australia Thrive Again!
Go nuclear you clowns. Still playing with these renewables. How much did that Tesla’s battery bank cost the tax payer to keep the lights on in Adelaide for 8 min
looking forward to this truth telling
The best thing is that if the coal plants aren't eventually all shut down, then the NEM will collapse because of rooftop PV. Nothing to do with global warming or environmentalism, just simple economics. Minimum demand just keeps going lower and lower and lower and thr electricity prices just keep getting higher and higher and higher. Its pretty simple to understand whats going on.
No one ever talks about who is going to clean all these solar panels. They lose a lot of efficiency when they are covered in dust or bird droppings.🤷♂️
Go back to using our own coal and gas. Since when is it OK to gift it to foreign entities and countries to burn and neglect our own people.
Nuclear is a con.
And they just keep throwing money at it.
Should've gone to specsavers….
Ideology over sanity…..Always the woke way!!
One good dust storm, or a hailstorm and all those solar cells will be useless.
