The 'green dream' of renewable energy is a 'mirage'
Sky news contributor Cory Bernardi says the green dream of a future of renewable energy is a mirage.
His comments come after residents of California have been told by the lord mayor to turn off as many electric appliances as they can to ensure the power continues to work in the heat of summer.
California has departed from traditional forms of energy such as gas and nuclear in favour of renewable energy.
“Remember we were told, over and over again, that California was the model economy, it was going to be fantastic for the green dream?” Mr Bernardi told Sky News host Paul Murray.
“What we’ve realised is that the green dream is a mirage.
“That when hot days come and people want to use their electricity, it might not be there for them.”
