Government snowed again, if it believes Snowy 2.0 is a commercial investment
An independent probe might cut through Snowy 2.0’s woeful history of impossibly optimistic estimates. The government should start by releasing the reset report.

Snowy 2 Much: How can a 2.2GW water battery be worth more than $12 billion?
The Snowy Hydro “reset” comes with no details or analysis. The Australian public, as the ultimate shareholders, must be provided with a comprehensive report, not just a two page media release.

Snowy 2.0 usage set to plummet by 2050 – and VNI West won’t save it

Kurri Kurri gas folly: Cost blowout, limited operation, not hydrogen-ready
The total cost of Kurri Kurri has blown out to more than $1 billion, it won’t have much storage, and it won’t use hydrogen.

Kurri Kurri: The generator on gas rations
