  • Big energy polluters have vested interest to see RET fail

    Big energy polluters have vested interest to see RET fail

    The RET is by far Australia’s most successful policy for reducing carbon emissions, but polluters have a vested interest in seeing it fail.

  • If wind energy is this cheap, why aren’t wind farms being built?
    CleanTech Bites

    If wind energy is this cheap, why aren’t wind farms being built?

    Australia’s biggest wind farm is producing electricity at less than $80/MWh. At current prices, the market for new wind projects should be strong. But political uncertainty from Abbott government is killing the market.

  • Abbott’s silly claim: 50% renewables will ruin us

    Abbott’s silly claim: 50% renewables will ruin us

    Contrary to Coalition claims, achieving 50% renewables by 2030 is not an economic or technical problem. It just needs to be made a policy priority.

    Coalition calculations on Labor RET cost all wrong, says CEC

    Clean Energy Council says Coalition claim Labor RET to cost $85bn based on flawed assumptions, false economics – and ignores plunging cost of renewables.

    50 per cent renewables market share by 2030 – what does it mean?

    Achieving Labor’s 50 per cent renewables market share by 2030 is clearly possible given Australia’s resource base and installation capability. Here’s how.

    Things we learned this week about Abbott’s wind turbine syndrome

    Abbott is not listening to the Pope, or scientists, about climate science or wind farms. But he is listening to IPA and other long term anti-wind activists. IPA even gives a “how to” guide for Catholics to ignore Pope Francis. Meanwhile, Hunt says it’s all about pushing big solar.

    Abbott Govt stands firm on plan to slash big renewables target

    Abbott government dices numbers on renewables target, but still wants to cut allocation to wind energy and big solar by 40%, even if it will leave rooftop solar untouched.

    Abbott government says war on renewables not over yet

    The Abbott government may be in its death throes, but it is still determined to do as much damage to the renewable energy industry as it can. It still wants to cut the RET by one third, and dump agencies such as the CEFC and ARENA, and now it is targeting solar.

    Infigen calls bluff on utility threats to ‘boycott’ wind, solar

    Infigen calls bluff on utility threats to “boycott” renewable energy, but suggests corporate Australia may fill the gap if retailers don’t contract new wind and solar farms. Meanwhile, the market turns positive on renewables, even if the government is still stalling on the RET, while Infigen turns focus to the US solar market.
