Well this is infuriating. Australian energy prices could be slashed overnight simply by allowing our coal fire power stations to operate at full capacity. Senator Matt Canavan says at the moment it’s only 50%. Increasing that to 90% would be the same as opening 3 new power stations. So...

@SaiKate108 I can't determine what the material is in the sea on the Northern part of the shore. Rocky outcrops perhaps or boats? Hard to tell. The sea level around Bennelong Point hasn't moved an inch. And be careful. The colour picture of modern Sydney is accidentally proving Flat Earth.

Fact check - False. "Australia’s coal plants are already running as hard as their ageing machinery safely allows. Pushing them further would cause mechanical breakdowns and blackouts, not lower prices. Furthermore, real-world data shows that electricity prices actually drop when cheap solar, wind, and battery storage displace expensive fossil fuels on the grid" #auspol

All this needs to be written down in a easily to understand chart and someone explain to people how all this works and why energy is so expensive and what you just said then people will be infuriated with all this.

That’s true . Something else Matt said was that wind energy is now cheap ironically ? But they are charging us too much to support the companies .

@OtwayRanges_Vic A decade with The Greens in senate control and to much Net Zero in the LNP . Base load coal stations are 30 year timelines like gas projects and need both sides of politics support. Nation building coal stations like China and India are currently building hundreds must happen

@InfidelShaz China doesn’t have coal, gas and oil. They have 1.4 billion people that make solar panels, wind turbines and sh1t cars. If we use our resources China doesn’t prosper. China owns and controls ALP.

At least Australia still has the option to use it’s own energy resources, that is if the political will was there, to reduce its dependence on renewables, whilst here in the UK, our NetZero zealots oversaw the blowing up of our last remaining coal fired stations.

The malfeasance required to deny cheaper energy needs to be called out. It is unnecessary pain, forced on us all. It punishes businesses unnecessarily. If our electricity can be cheaper now, it needs an immediate approval.

Your country has agreed to the devious Net 0 plan, or whatever it is called. This is a scam from the far left to enslave everybody in the West. It is wrapped in nice paper, but it is in fact a scam. Far out? I thought so too, in the beginning, until reading it thoroughly

Well this is simply wrong and as an economist who worked at the Productivity Commission he should know better. The times when coal plants are not operating is when we don’t need their power - it is coming from wind and solar cheaper.

They’re not operating at full capacity for a few reasons. The two main ones: 1. Renewable energy sources are cheaper (although Canavan doesn’t want to admit this) 2. They’re old and unreliable, needing significant amount of downtime to conduct running repairs. In other words, what Canavan is proposing would actually increase energy prices. Which would obviously please Canavan’s mates in the coal industry, but increase electricity prices for ordinary people.

Coal simply cannot compete with solar in the daytime, and is not flexible enough to firm up power like gas. It’s a stupid argument to think making coal slightly cheaper on capacity makes it cheaper than solar.

First tell us why the Energy prices are so high and who actuallt determines them . Secondly the Coal fires Power Stations are lucky to work 50% of the time, because they break down all the time and have to use expensive gas to keep the Grid going . Thank god we've got renewables in the mix for our homes .

Power stations are privately and state owned and a simple google search will show you why they don’t run at full capacity. Why is it the federal governments fault?

This assumes coal generators are being artificially held back. Evidence? Private generators make more money by selling more power when it's profitable. The real constraints are ageing plants, outages and maintenance—not a government switch marked "50%".

No idea Coal plants are running at half capacity because they can't compete on price with renewables, not even close. Then because they can only compete when renewables aren't producing, at that time they have to charge more in order to cover costs.

Providers also regularly increase your contracted bill pricing; but they never automatically put you on the 'best' plan price that is lower than what they charge you. Occasionally, they'll let you know you could have a lower plan available - always after they've fleeced you.

The strategic military tactic of using air raids to target power stations—aiming to cripple an enemy’s electrical grid to weaken their industrial capacity—has been employed in conflicts from World War II right through to the most recent regional wars. If Australia were ever attacked, the first thing any competent enemy would do is hammer is our electricity generating infrastructure. They would seek to bomb our coal-fired power stations into oblivion. But in Australia today, the enemy is already inside the gates. We don’t need foreign bombers. We have the Net Zero mafia and the climate cultists doing the job for them, as they systematically blow up our reliable coal-fired power stations. The latest casualty is the Liddell Power Station, owned by AGL. For AGL, shutting it down and “blowing it up” was a cold, anti-competitive profit-maximising decision. By deliberately reducing supply, they drove up the wholesale electricity prices they were receiving from their other generating assets, making the company far more profitable with Liddell destroyed than running. AGL even rejected a $250 million offer from a competitor who wanted to buy Liddell and keep it operating. The station was literally worth more to AGL dead than alive. This is textbook anti-competitive behaviour by a company with substantial market power. It should be illegal. Yet when I raised this directly with the ACCC, they refused to anything. The brutal bottom line is this: if it weren’t for the deranged Net Zero obsession and the suicidal Paris Accord (which the USA has abandoned and China simply ignores), a brand-new, high-efficiency, low-emissions coal-fired power station should have been commissioned at Liddell back in 2018 for around $4 billion. Instead, we’ve already wasted over $40 billion on the energy-destroying white elephant called Snowy 2.0. We are not being invaded. The enemy is already inside the gates. We are committing national energy suicide — aided and abetted by our own politicians, bureaucrats, and corporate rent-seekers.
