    Five red line items that need to be fixed before NEG is agreed

    “Even if the Energy Security Board gives Malcolm Turnbull a Rolls Royce model of energy policy, it’s not going to be of much use to the country if he immediately seeks to put it in the garage and lock it up for 10 years.”

  • Whichever way you cut it, Turnbull’s climate policy is still a sham

    Whichever way you cut it, Turnbull’s climate policy is still a sham

    Alan Jones says Craig Kelly should be energy minister. In effect, he already is, because the Coalition’s woeful policy is a craven attempt to pacify the right wing. Despite the NEG, or maybe because of it, a bipartisan approach to energy and climate is as elusive as ever.

    Renewables beware: Labor may not be able to change emissions target

    Reliability guarantee? It now exists in name only

    Energy Security Board has finally got smart about reliability, and dumped plans promised to conservatives that would try and turn wind and solar plants into “base-load” generators. This is a huge development, and a victory for smart economics, and engineering.

    Craig Kelly slams RenewEconomy: “Shameless propaganda arm of green rent seekers”

    It’s official, Craig Kelly MP doesn’t rate RE. And while we don’t mind that so much, we do mind his serial bending of the truth to beat up renewables, deny climate change, and shore up coal.
