No , I said renewables were getting close and given that trajectory they should be competitive or cheaper soon . Don't try and spin my words .
If I wanted to I could produce a bunch of reports where renewables are claimed to be cheaper . We have all seen them posted before .
There are many groups that claim that renewables are cheaper however personally I would like to see it on a 24/7 baseload basis before I'm convinced . I don't accept the simple per kwh comparison as it is easily skewed for a result .
The reason we have ridiculous energy prices here is because of incredibly poor government policy . On one hand you have states like SA cutting off their noses to spite their faces resulting in a crisis requiring federal help .
On the other hand you had state governments allowing massive lng export facilities get built with no domestic reserve and a piss poor royalties agreement .
Then you had the feds allow energy distributors gold plate their networks without actually future proofing them .
Also , the State government of Victoria raises the royalties on coal in Victoria and forces Engie to shut down Hazelwood .
And of course you have federal Labor ( and Vic state Labor ) with ridiculous renewable energy targets with no idea of how they will actually get there .
A sensible national plan on transitioning to renewables over a few decades would have been my choice as I have posted on many times . Unfortunately politics keeps getting in the way .
