Electricity prices would be 75% cheaper if we had no cheap free renewables.

"Phew. Thank goodness for all that ‘free’ wind and solar electricity flowing into the grid – keeping price rises down to just 20-25 per cent for this coming year.

Who knows what price rises would have been if we’d stuck with all that black and brown coal? Try, minus – to stress, that’s minus – around 75 per cent."

"Back in the early 2010s, electricity was coming out from almost entirely real power stations, at a wholesale cost of around $30 to $40 a MWh, from SA to Queensland. In 2022 it was between $80 and $160; in 2023 so far $105 to $150; and who knows what in 2024."

He explains the madness in the deliberate destruction of our electricity system by pandering to the catastrophic climate change cult and the myth of cheap and free renewables.
