Australia's premier science institution is forced to defend itself against right wing politicians and media distortion.
itself against attacks by Australia’s conservative politicians and the Rupert Murdock media. The fossil fuel focused are reacting to the latest CSIRO, which reaffirms yet again that renewables are the cheapest form of electricity generation. CSIRO is Australia’s premier science and research body.
The Guardian states: “CSIRO chief executive, Douglas Hilton, has warned that maintaining trust ‘requires our political leaders to resist the temptation to disparage science’, rejecting Dutton’s comments about its GenCost report. But the opposition leader has doubled down, repeating his incorrect claim on Friday that the report does not properly cost renewables and transmission required to integrate them into the grid.” Anybody who reads the report can see that these costs are included.
On national television, Dutton stated that he was “strongly in favour of renewables.” Unfortunately, he was not hooked up to a lie detector at the time. The man and his political party need to be judged by their actions. After 10 years in government, most of the energy actions of Australia’s liberal/national coalition were to slow down the installation of wind and solar farms. It is worth noting that during those 10 years, the coalition did nothing to promote nuclear power.
Unfortunately, 2023 saw a slowdown in new financial commitments to utility scale generation capacity at $1.5 billion, significantly down on $6.5 billion for 2022.
