    Yeah lets talk about dollars ...

    "Modelling by the academic-backed Net Zero Australia group suggests that the skilled workforce required to install and run new generation assets, transmission lines and associated decarbonisation efforts will need to double to at least 200,000 people by 2030 and reach somewhere between 700,000 and 850,000 by 2060. That’s up to four per cent of Australia’s estimated total workforce."

    "More than $120 billion of spending is needed to finance new solar, wind, transmission and energy storage projects by 2030, according to the Australian government-backed Clean Energy Finance Corporation"

    "Renewable energy generation would need to grow to about 40 times the current power grid generation capacity, according to Net Zero Australia modelling"

    40 times the current power grid!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    "
    “The government’s net-zero by 2050 target warrants a grid nearly double in length — from 860,000 kilometres in 2022 to over 1,600,000 kilometres by mid-century.”
    It estimates $300 billion of grid investment needs to occur between 2022 and 2050"

    and for anyone who wants to discredit the source ..... "Net Zero Australia is a partnership between the University of Melbourne, the University of Queensland, Princeton University and international management consultancy Nous Group."

    It's no wonder renewables shills go so quiet when asked about the actual costs
