Even the head of Origin agrees the scaremongering is wrong. He'd know a thing or two about energy costs wouldn't he? He is a coulple of quotes from him.
"On the subject of energy prices, King noted that the cost of energy as a proportion of household income will be the same after the introduction of the carbon price, green incentives and network costs as it has been for the last three decades – around 2.6 to 2.9 per cent – barring, maybe, those who choose to have six flat-screen TVs."
"And, yes, he confirmed that the Opposition’s opposition to the carbon pricing package meant that the uncertainty that had bedeviled the energy market for the last 10 years would continue for another five years at least – which would not mean that the lights would go out (that wouldn’t happen under any circumstances), but that utilities like his would be forced to invest in generation with the lowest risk, rather than the lowest cost, and that would mean higher than needed prices."
All because of Abbott's biggest dummt spit. He has no idea.
