    Climate spending cut as Frydenberg delivers empty budget for clean energy and EVs

    The Morrison government will cut spending on climate action, with clean energy and electric vehicles neglected. Fossil fuel subsidies get a boost.

    Federal budget funds Vales Point upgrade and CCS, but snubs EVs

    The 2020 federal budget offers few surprises: confirming new ARENA funding, money for CCS, an upgrade for coal generator and a snub for electric vehicles.

    Frydenberg threatens states as NEG “sign on” date closes in

    The Coalition is mustering friends – in business and media – to put major pressure on the Labor states to “sign on” to the National Energy Guarantee this Friday. It’s a war of words, and not facts.

    Frydenberg takes the low road: It’s a weak NEG or nothing

    Frydenberg calls for an end to ideology and culture wars on energy, while presenting – with breathtaking cynicism – a policy that panders to right wing ideology and culture wars. It’s the NEG or nothing, he warns. Many might suggest that nothing is more attractive.

    Frydenberg, IPA trolling renewables on ABC’s Q&A – again

    The Coalition and IPA tag-team were at it again against renewables on Q&A. It’s disappointing enough that the country’s federal energy minister should have such a blind spot on new technology, but it appears to be a party-wide phenomenon. At least Catweazle was funny.
