Abbott: Renewables killing coal, just to “make world a bit colder”

Was the renewables industry better off under Abbott than Turnbull?
The new parliament session has begun, and little has changed. Large scale renewables remain at a standstill and the Coalition government is still pushing for the removal of CEFC, ARENA, and the Climate Change Authority. Has anything changed under Malcolm Turnbull?
