Are you saying that they fall or stay steady in every country that doesn't have wind or solar?

Science is real Senator Malcolm Roberts

No they didn’t. You don’t pay for the sunlight.

While the article's framing highlights the steep initial price hike involved in replacing the coal fleet to meet net-zero targets, the broader CSIRO report explicitly points out that a renewable-dominated system (backed by wind, solar, and storage) remains the most cost-effective long-term pathway compared to alternative power options like nuclear, which would face even higher development costs.

Just fyi, these are rhe average wholesale generation costs in Australia

Seems many people need to touch the seat despite the sign “wet paint”

So which countries do not have wind or solar.

Same with inflation mate.

Too bad facts don’t agree. But then One Neuron is not big on the truth. 😂

How much power will all these data centres and AI computers require and will it come from solar and wind, that's the question, considering the rising electricity prices globally with the shift to renewables like solar and wind, it'll be interesting to see the solution.

You know what's funny back in the 80s the Electricity was so cheap and reliable from the Coal power stations that the people still could pay 19% on their mortgage and Live

Can we not take advantage of natural light and power sources? Why is electricity more expensive when renewables are propping up supply?

Correlation does not equal causation. Many events have occurred to cause prices to go up. Do you want to blame solar for the price of cigarettes going up too?

Once we get there and it’s all set up it’ll be well worth the expenditure that’s the bit You don’t understand. You have no plans for the future. 

It’s OK Malcolm has a cheap solution to build 6 nuclear reactors, they will be on line in 5 years, funded by private equity and at no cost to the tax payer. You will not see a cent increase and in fact your bills will be zero from all the free power

My renewables including the trees that regenerate and also create the OXYGEN WE NEED FROM THAT NASTY CO2 AND SUNLIGHT STRANGLY ENOUGH CO2/TREES/ SUNLIGHT ARE BEING LOWERED BY MAN and THATS A GOOD THING PHOTOSYNTHESIS NEEDS ALL 3 OF THE ELEMENTS THEY ARE TRYING TO LOWER TO PRODUCE THE OXYGEN EVERY LIVING BREATHING CREATURE REQUIRES TO LIVE Something to think about

You are so right Malcolm, figures can be manipulated, which is what our government is doing, common sense tells me that we should stay with what we have and let market forces rule when it comes to renewables, which means zero subsidies from the taxpayer, the comments I've seen on here make it really obvious that the people are brainwashed by an obviously corrupt government

They have risen more in coal and gas dominated grids

The “housing policy” is just a plan 🤣🤣🤣🤣 Division in the camp 🤣

That headline says the grid rebuild has costs. It doesn’t say wind and solar make electricity expensive in every country. Nice try though.

Senator, Senator, Senator (imagine that came with head shaking and eye rolling). The Australian does indeed have that headline-but the CSIRO does not. In fact the CSIRO references the ongoing importance of gas for back-up generation of electricity (not coal) and references on going reduction of price per megawatt hour with ongoing replacement of aging infrastructure and ongoing technological development ie decreasing cost of battery storage (that goes with various renewables). It also states that the cost per kilowatt hour has reduced from a peak of $189/MWh in 2022 down to $105 in 2025 and expected to reduce to $80-90/MWh by 2030. Oh and the amount of gas based generation, well that’s only expected to supply 7% of generation. Fact check, fact check fact check, perhaps you should hire someone with a science background onto your staff.

Don’t just post the headline, post the whole article or even better the evidence to back it up, or has NASA manipulated those figures too. I still remember you saying that to Prof. Brian Cox on Q & A with a straight face 😄. My electricity rates just went down by up to 30% whilst our renewables rollout gathers pace and coal fired power stations continue to wind down champion 😃

They are wasting Tax dollars which they don't have (borrowed) on so called Green Energy which also has a Carbon Footprint and poor returns for the investment and won't use Coal but Exported 80 million tonnes to China last year...Is China on another planet?

More solar on people’s houses, more home batteries, help with electrifying and a gas retention policy as a backup. Gas export tax would help too as it will encourage more gas sales at home. These will give quick wins. No more money to keep aging coal plants running - money down the drain. No nuclear, takes too long, costs too much

Maybe it's a privatisation thing Mal

Still waiting for cheaper power no wait they changed positions for cheaper power

It's true, this woefully bad Albanese led Labor government is happily destroying our way of life.

7x2=🚲 according to Malcolm Roberts. This is why Australia needs to keep investing in cheaper and reliable renewable energy to put downward pressure on bills and protect the country from global energy shocks. It also helps to combat climate change. Fossil fuels are expensive and unreliable. The world is moving on.

AI data surveillance centres must be stopped at all costs you have no consent for digital ID

But renewables are the cheapest form of energy

The Ted brothers , Cun and shi

$275.

Take your Glasses off and go to Specsavers so you can see what's going on in Australia.

independentaustralia.net/politics/politics-display/economists-and-newsrooms-collaborate-to-lie-ab...

but its green so its ok.. lmao.. what happened to it being cheaper.. its all control

The Liberal/Liebor Uniparty care more about the net zero scam than your cost-of-living crisis. 🤷‍♀️

1 in 5 should get a 2nd job then

Like “urging” a blocked toilet to flush 😔

But relative to wages how much have they gone up? My comparison is from 1990 to today my electricity has gone up 0.27%

All in the modelling
