How Alan Jones made Josh Frydenberg look like a moderate

Photo montage of Alan Jones and Josh Frydenberg put together by 2GB.

The high priest was at it again. 2GB radio commentator Alan Jones had environment and energy minister Josh Frydenberg on his program on Thursday and he was giving him heaps:

“You are wedded to renewable energy. You are wedded to green energy … you’re as green, you’re as green as the Labor Party and the Greens.”

And Frydenberg was returning serve with interest:

“Alan, if we could only bottle your rage this morning, we’d have a new energy source.”

Beneath the bravado, however, was an insight into so much that is wrong with Australia’s climate and energy politics, and how far to the right the debate has shifted.

How else can a government that has no coherent climate and energy policy in place, and which has been a trenchant critic of high renewables targets and of states and territories when they try to fill the gap, and absurdly critical of technologies such as battery storage, is branded as left wing and green by ageing white commentators and internal critics.

Jones was fulminating, and absolutely convinced of himself.

“I actually read, you know Josh.  I do the homework,” he insisted.

But what does he read? One suspects, given his ill-informed comments, that they are mostly right-wing blogs and climate denier web-sites. Or the Murdoch media, which often amounts to much the same thing.

Jones’ grasp of historical fact is poor. Frydenberg pointed out that it was John Howard who introduced the first renewable energy target. Jones protested that it was only because he was “panicked” by Kevin Rudd.

The MRET, which aimed for 2 per cent share of renewables by 2020, was actually introduced in 1997 and was junked (because it was too successful and amounted to a threat to the incumbents) well before Rudd appeared on the scene. (Maybe he was confused with Howard’s plan for a carbon price).

Jones also claimed – as so many right wingers do – that re-elected German chancellor Angel Merkel has “stopped the subsidies” and renewable development in Germany and was ploughing ahead with coal,

That’s not true. Germany sourced 36.1 per cent of its demand from renewables in 2017, this is running at around 40 per cent so far in 2018, and the target has just been lifted by Merkel to 65 per cent by 2030.

Renewables still get subsidies in Germany, but rather than a fixed tariff, they bid for them in a competitive tender, like this one this week. Sometimes it reduces them to zero, sometimes not.

And coal is on the way out – the last of the country’s black coal generators will retire soon and the new coalition government is putting together a plan to finally phase out brown coal.  The formation of a coal commission to manage this exit is expected to be announced next week.

But Frydenberg chose not to challenge Jones, although the facts are well known.

Jones then turned to renewable energy subsidies in Australia, adopting the line perpetuated by the likes of the Institute of Pubic Affairs, BAEconomics, and the right-wing media, that these subsidies amount to billions of dollars a year, and will do so for another decade.

This is claptrap, as we have pointed out on many occasions, here, here and here.

Jones reckons that 28.6 million renewable energy certificates will have to be delivered this year at cost of around $85 each, and so that amounts to a total of $2.4 billion, and he also claims that this will continue, or even increase until the scheme ends until 2030.

But the price he cites only applies to the spot market for these certificates, known as LGCs, and the spot market represents just a fraction of the market.

Most LGCs are and will be delivered under contract at a fraction of that price – and in many cases for nothing, such as with the country’s biggest wind farms at Stockyard Hill.

Figure 13 Source: Mercari

And the spot market will crash too, sometime after 2020 if not before because of the over-supply of certificates.  The futures market is already pricing in that crash.

That means the cost to consumers from 2020 to 2030 will be negligible, but the benefits could be significant, as the government has modeled in its push for the National Energy Guarantee – most of the price benefits of $400 a year per consumer come from renewables and the RET

But Frydenberg again chose not to dispute Jones’ claims, saying only “I don’t like subsidies”, and explaining that this was his rationale for the NEG.

Jones then launched into an extraordinary rant against Energy Security Board chair Kerry Schott, who had the temerity this month to point out that new coal won’t be built under the NEG, because wind and solar and storage was cheaper.

“This woman” Jones fumed (he appears to have problems with strong women who speak their mind, such as former prime minister Julia Gillard and AEMO boss Audrey Zibelman), “why haven’t you called her in” to explain herself, he demanded of Frydenberg.

“Where is the evidence? Because there is none.”

Frydenberg defended Schott as a woman of substance and character and said she was a “distinguished” figure.

But yet again he chose not to contradict Jones on the detail, or provide the evidence demanded by radio host. That’s a shame, because neither he nor Jones would have far to look.

He could have started with US investment bank Lazard, hailed by Jones only minutes earlier as an institution of international reputation, that were “experts” in the field, and had been around since the 1840s.

Source: Lazard
Source: Lazard

Experts indeed. In Lazard’s latest report on electricity generation costs, released in November, showed that wind and solar were half the cost of coal, and were still cheaper even when adding storage.

And it should be noted that the Lazard analysts added 10 hours of battery storage to their solar farm modelling, would no-one in their right mind would attach to a solar or wind farm, unless it’s off  grid, because it’s not needed in an interconnected grid.

They could have looked at the Finkel Review, the CSIRO and ENA report on the future grid, at AGL’s estimates of the cost of replacing Liddell, or even the government-owned Snowy Hydro 2.0.

The only time that Frydenberg did argue with Jones about the detail was when Jones’ took to the federal government’s pet project, Snowy 2.0, as a likely white elephant, quoting extensively from a Lazard report on pumped hydro.

Frydenberg was right across the detail on this out that Lazard’s estimates were based on a new pumped hydro storage unit, where new reservoirs need to be built, and where there is only eight hours storage, rather than Snowy’s proposed 175 hours.

And therin lies the problem here.

Frydenberg is clearly across his brief, but only chooses to fight the causes that suit him.

Despite the bluster and the nonsense espoused by Jones and his ilk, and particularly within the Coalition party rooms, Frydenberg and Turnbull refuse to take them on.

Frydenberg offered this: “You can’t be sentimental about the energy system Alan, it is changing before your very eyes.”

Too true. As Frydenberg has said before.

“There’s a dramatic transformation that’s taking place in Australia’s energy system, a once in a lifetime transformation as we move into the world of micro-grids, demand management, rooftop solar and battery storage.”

He has no better argument – what with the plunging cost of renewables and th emergence of storage – to pursue a rapid transition that even the networks and major energy retailers and institutions are talking about.

Turnbull knows this too. And so do their advisors. But they dare not take on the right wing of the party, for fear of … people like Alan Jones. It’s barely credible.

    It’s all theatrics aimed at strengthening the governments preferred position. Making “the right” appear to be the middle, or even slightly left, makes the far right appear more moderate.

    I’d wager the kinds of people who listen to Alan Jones don’t have any kind of gift for spotting this kind of posturing.

    This interview was likely masterminded by the Libs in order to make themselves appear more green than they actually are and, more importantly, their opposition seem indistinguishable from the greens; extreme, fringe.

    Frydenberg would happily take a few soft-handed jabs from old mate Jonesy if it would further his party’s political goals.

    All this is evidenced by what Fryndenberg chose to call-out Jones on. ie. nothing about patently incorrect comments about Germany or Wind and Solar actually being cheaper than new coal. Instead Frydenberg says “You can’t be sentimental about the energy system Alan, it is changing before our very eyes.” which is a nothing statement. He doesn’t qualify what’s changing, doesn’t try to educate Jones as to the how’s and why’s – because that wouldn’t play to the Libs plan.

    Giles, a really insightful analysis.How bizarre that Josh should be labelled Green. His NEG is designed by the Monash luddites to cost consumers even more money by subsidising coal power and slowing the inevitable transition in a deliberate attempt to hold back the tide of technology innovation and deflationary renewables.
    Jones clearly also has an issue with women that management there should correct immediately, totally sexist, insulting and unacceptable. Josh needs to show leadership and stand up for the people working for him.

    Josh is not a green and neither are the NSW Greens who believe (or perhaps just state ) that environmental damage can be “decoupled” from population growth.

    1. Mark Avatar
      Mark

      I’m not a member of the NSW Greens but they’re quite right about environmental damage and population growth. The relationship is quite complex and the key to understanding it is that resource consumption and energy use are variables, rather than a given. A country, or city, with a higher population, that recycles resources, uses public transport and uses energy from renewable resources will have a lower environmental impact than one with a smaller population that’s profligate with resources, uses coal generation and is heavily car-dependant. I dare say that the Greens’ position on population is more nuanced than you suggest.

        given that almost *every* other country in the world has a significantly lower environmental footprint per capita than australia, we can and should work hard to decouple population from environmental degradation.

        I think you mean that in an ideal city the per capita consumption is lower than a real life one. City people tend to believe that if they turn the lights out or ride bikes (which I do ) its lowering their impact . They forget that our imports including $17.9b worth of food had to be paid for with exports of nasty things like coal . And the more people the more damage we do to the world.

        1. Mark Avatar
          Mark

          With higher urban densities you can reduce environmental footprints because more sustainable technology and practices (like water recycling, public transport and energy conservation) become economically viable. It’s worth pointing out that the average New Yorker, living as they do in a higher urban density, has a much lower environmental impact than your average Australian living in the car-dependant outer suburbs with their lower density. There’s a real-life city example for you.

          Energy consumption-wise (world-wide), efficiency is counteracting population growth.

            Exponential population growth has no limits, but efficiency does and we may be very near (or past??) many of its limits already.

            Ren Stimpy

            The world population growth isn’t exponential. As Gapminder has pointed out, the world reached “Peak Child” in the year 2000.

            Efficiency still has massive potential for improvement. Australia for example wastes a huge amount of energy. Poor building efficiency requiring unnecessary heating and cooling, slow rollout of efficient appliances and lighting. There’s a vast suite of energy efficiency measures just waiting to be deployed but most of those measures are just a small part into total deployment.

          Some of us don’t forget. We avoid imported food and buy locally grown, to reduce transport miles and provide a healthier diet. Become vegetarian to reduce methane emissions from livestock. Generate our own electricity from solar panels, now with storage so we are prosumers. Reuse or recycle as much as possible to avoid polluting the world, which is the major problem. Before you slagged the Greens, you should have read their actual population policy at https://greens.org.au/policies/population.

        4. Miles Harding Avatar
          Miles Harding

          This is really the point.
          Food is an inescapable input and polulation growth makes it worse by disconnecting people from the food supply, making processing and transport to cities more costly per capita.

          Shortages or unaffordability cause riots and civil turmoil, as has been the case in the “Arab Spring”.

          While we see population “growth” as desirable, no solution is possible.

      Look at the predictions for world population and individual country
      populations by the UN’s demographers (all brilliantly presented by the
      Gapminder Foundation). These population growth numbers are (more or
      less) locked in because the world is already doing its absolute best to
      reduce population growth. The time to argue for further reductions in
      world population are gone (unless you want to nuke big sections of it or
      release a pandemic ?? – do you own a fluffy white cat?) and we now have
      to plan how to make the minimal impact on the environment with these
      known population growth numbers which are (more or less) inevitable.

        Hi Ren, I would dispute your argument about the world doing its best to reduce population growth – both sides of our governments are doing the exact opposite as is the catholic church and many other religious bodies. Israel is locked in a demographic war with Palestine, Iran, Turkey and a few others have restricted family planning and the US has cut funding to family planning organisations. And your comment on a pandemic makes me think you are probably a climate change denier since this is going to wipe out more people than any plague.

          – In Asia (including Australia) the population will grow from 4 billion to 5 billion by 2050 and then stop growing.
          – In Africa the population will grow from 1 billion to 4 billion by 2100 and then stop growing.

          – In the remaining parts of the world the population won’t grow.

          If anyone is concerned about population growth they should be calling for more investment in Africa to lift the people there out of poverty which will automatically reduce their population growth rate.

          Btw I’m not a climate change denier, the furthest thing from it.

            “Why will it stop growing?”

            Because the poorest 2 billion people are slowly coming out of poverty. These slow improvements to health and life expectancy are driving a slow reduction in fertility rates. The sooner the poorest 2 billion come out of poverty the sooner their fertility rates will fall to around the replacement rate.

            As Dono has reported, Trump’s US has imposed the “gag” rule on NGO’s that provide the full range of reproductive services in high birth rate cultures throughout the world.

            Ren you also acknowledge that Africa has a human producing culture. The extreme examples of high fertility rates are: Angola and Burundi – 5.7; Chad – 5.9; Democratic Republic of Congo and Mali – 6.1; Somalia – 6.3; Niger – 7.2. If we agree with Bishop Curry that the answer to the poverty caused by this overpopulation is love for them, we will pour resources into helping these cultures to reduce their fertility rate down to the OECD average of 1.7.

          4. Ren Stimpy Avatar
            Ren Stimpy

            Health is the main controller of fertility rate. In Angola, Burundi, Chad, DRC, Mali and Somalia, life expectancy is slowly improving and fertility rate is slowly falling as a result. Education, particularly for females and family planning also play a part, but the main factor in reducing fertility rate is improvements in health / life expectancy.

    I understand Frydenberg did a spirited defence of gas too, attacking Jones for opposing CSG. Somehow the zombie idea that gas is a low emissions energy option lives on, embedded in the LNP rhetoric of (very cautiously) taking climate change seriously.

    I’m not sure that “cognitive dissonance” really covers this enduring disconnection between energy policy and taking climate change seriously – heading into the realms of tinfoil hatted conspiracists I think. Frydenberg, that is; Jones’ head already has a climate science reflective coating.

    Unfortunately I think the real story is that Frydenberg, like most of the “moderates”, doesn’t care about the truth, and is as opposed to strong climate action as any coal mine owner but chooses pretence over honesty as a tactic – pretending to take climate seriously sidesteps the need to have nonsensical position on climate science exposed and debated and shifts the discussion back to the economic alarmist fears that are the (other) main justification for inaction.

    “This is claptrap, as we have pointed out on many occasions, here, here and here.” – needs the links behind the three heres.

    “And it should be noted that the Lazard analysts added 10 hours of battery storage to their solar farm modelling, would no-one in their right mind would attach to a solar or wind farm, unless it’s off grid, because it’s not needed in an interconnected grid.” – I do not get this at all. Even if I assume the first “would” is a “which” or “that”, surely that’s exactly what the Hornsdale Power Reserve is, a renewables farm with a battery attached. What am I missing?

    “Frydenberg was right across the detail on this out that Lazard’s estimates …” – perhaps “Frydenberg was right across the detail on this, which is that Lazard’s estimates …”?

    May the Wagner family expose Jones for what he really is and who he represents; the likes of Abbott, Joyce, Kelly and the many RWRNJs in the LNP.

    “Institute of Pubic Affairs” is it a typo or…?

Get up to 3 quotes from pre-vetted solar (and battery) installers.
