As a German coming to Australia, fleeing from exactly these idiocratic policies, let me tell you. Please don't fuck it up like we did. We killed entire industries like steel and fertilizer production in our country, because it is mathematically impossible now to make a profit with the enormous energy prices. We had 100% backup capacity for a tiny time frame back then and started to shut down every single nuclear and coal plant in the country. Suddenly power outages were a thing to worry about again and electricity prices as well as gas for heating and cooking went up by sometimes 400% (!) in a couple of weeks. Most lower income people have to live with the fact that their income just isn't enough to heat the house in the winter and that their children will have to feel chilly going to bed every night. Australia is going the exact same direction, but still has some more time left to change things around by 180 degrees. Our politicians made the mistake to set everything in stone from the start and to predetermine what solution is best for this scenario, according to "the statistics", provided by e-on, rwe and other energy giants. Everything else was outruled and a competition for the best alternative solution was never possible, since all the subsidization made "green energy" the only option viable. If you then find out that most of that supposed green energy is actually nuclear or coal energy that our country had to buy from france and other countries, just to avoid blackouts because our energy supply couldn't handle the variations in load at different times, the whole story gets a very bitter after taste. Now the country is in a worse position than before, energy prices went up buy over 400% and most of that supposed green energy is actually still produced by burning gas and coal, which is the exact thing they wanted to get rid of. Instead we are, to this day, buying LNG from India or Turkey, which they bought from Russia. We can now say "we don't buy (directly) from the criminals" but on the other hand, it made it unaffordable for most people and causes poorer 3rd world countries that bought their gas off those suppliers as well to not get the deal, since we simply outbid them. Those 3rd world countries that are left with even more expensive gas that they can't afford have to suffer from the results of our green politics, while not being responsible in any way or form for it and the German citizens get screwed over as well. I just hope that there are more sensible people in Australia, even though I don't have the right to vote (yet).

I wish my fellow Californians would realize this. We have a situation here in California now has the highest electricity rates in the USA, surpassing even Hawaii, but unlike Hawaii much of California is hot as blazes not adversely affecting only businesses (although that is bad to be sure) but also household finances because air conditioning is an absolute necessity in much of the state. It's so bad that family owned restaurants are having to close because electricity and natural gas rates have increased so much that their utility bills now are as much as their mortgage or lease payments.

When the US blew up the Nordstream pipeline, the sudden shortage of natural gas saw it's price skyrocket - which in turn flowed onto electricity prices as more people turned to it for heating. Germany's high energy prices have absolutely nothing to do with renewables, and I'm fairly sure you know that.

The Australian government invested nothing in developing gas other than auction off lease sites. All monies spent for geological exploration, drilling, infrastructure (plant, pipelines, terminals, ships etc etc all came from foreign investment pension funds and for that vast expenditure over years with no return they get first call on the export of gas so let's not blame others for our supposed gas shortage. It's our fault for regulating it out of our energy mix.

He completely ignored the issue of replacing our existing fleet of clapped out generators with any technology (coal, gas, nuclear) and then dumped the cost on renewables which actually cost less than the others. They ignored how fast the cost of batteries is falling and how good they are at providing frequency control. I was particularly annoyed at the segment with the Canberran woman's energy bill. They didn't show us the whole bill or mention how much she was paying per kWh. It looked like a three month bill for electricity, gas and water and if that was the case it was pretty reasonable. And then there's the big one - no mention of the reason for moving away from fossil fuels.

Every year the earth is hit with 3 billion bolts of lightning. Each bolt of lightning 20,000+ amps. That energy doesn't disappear. The earth is a giant Capacitor! You simply need to correct "Frequency" to get it. Or how about inventing a machine that can create and hold a thunderstorm thus creating lightning, and getting your electricity from it? The only exhaust is "Oxygen", "Hydrogen" and "Nitrogen" which is "Steam". Don't think ancient civilizations didn't have electricity. They simply got it out of the ground, and why there is no "leftover" machinery for archaeologists to find.

He has displayed a shameful lack of balance and blatantly distorted numerous facts. I don't have any ideological objection to Australia building nuclear power stations.

@antonybarron8949 The "gas of life's" admittedly miniscule increase in the biosphere as a result of anthropogenic use of fossil fuels is already working its magic on the planet as the plant half of life increases its encroachment on previously inhospitable desert sands. Those hardy plants which have evolutionarily adapted to water loss in the presence of increased carbon dioxide in the planet's atmosphere are taking back the previously barren landscapes of Sub-Saharan Africa, and pumping out ever increasing clouds of life giving oxygen to the animal half of Earth's living species. Heating and cooling cycles of the Earth are more profoundly affected by cosmic forces than by the exploitation of carbon fuels by mankind. Man's egotistical folly of believing in his own affectation of cosmic forces will continue to threaten our flourishing as the dominant species on the planet. I recall in my days as an undergraduate in the '60s at the University of Washington, my Economics 101 professor, the incomparable Henry T. Buechel, declaring that "Man is a fool!" Of course, fifty years after his death, when it comes to the folly of global warming hysteria, Professor Buechel has once again been proven right!

Oh it's possible. But greed creates pollution and inefficient power supplies. Read my other comment, and understand we are already using "hydrogen" gas to run our cars. But it is dirtied up with carbon that creates 100% of the pollution, which is "unburnt" fuel (Petroleum = 1 hydrogen + 2 carbon). If you used pure hydrogen gas for cars "steam" would come out of the tailpipe. And water would go into the fuel tank. You use simple electrolysis to seperate the hydrogen from the oxygen. Even if by using gasoline still you did not use the liquid fuel into the combustion chamber, but converted it to the gas (or fumes) first it would double MPG across the board for all vehicles. That's how jet engines work and why they are so efficient. In each case, you start with a liquid but convert it into a gas before introducing it into the engine that way is the "only" evolution of combustion engines to improve MPG left for them. Imagine 60 MPG or better for cars and like 40 MPG for trucks? It's possible, and the tech readily available, and cheap. But I'm sure when it is offerred, if it is offered the price will be inflated. Almost to the point to not make it feasible for people. Because it would mean less stops at the gas station. While also decreasing pollution from cars by another 50% or so. The fact this tech is kept from the public is proof that governments and corporations don't give a shit about the environment, only your wallet and making you a slave to the system. Sadly, I'm afraid it's the goal of many (the ultra rich billionaires) to work and bring back slavery. At least until robots replace humans, and then there is no need for any of us.

By that time you can have put up solar arrays the size of a small country in arid portions of the continent, half of which will have provided you with electricity for years at that point. Nuclear requires water, solar and wind do not. You can't possibly compete. The race is already over. You can go ahead and build a few nuclear power plants, but by the time they're up you're going to need a whole array of batteries, too, because they won't be able to sell their electricity during the daytime, when the supply duck curve exceeds demand a few times over, and they can't be shut down.

That’s why it will never be as cheap as coal,oil or gas. If a premise is wrong all conclusions following will be wrong.

Holograms should also be every day tech in homes and schools and businesses. Then maybe children would be correctly taught 3 dimensional geometry, instead of the 2 dimensional geometry taught which is what the Greeks came up with 2000 years ago. And is only "part" of the story. Why do you think people claim the earth is flat? From being taught 2 dimensional geometry, and not being smart enough to realize it while living in a 3 dimensional world. If you lived in a 2 dimensional universe the earth would be flat. But in a 3 dimensional universe the circle becomes the sphere. But I agree this program is very good. The fact Solar Panels are only 22% efficient is a travesty. You think NASA is using 22% efficient solar panels on their satellites? Exactly. We could be having our vehicles with combustion engines having double the MPG by simply quit introducing "liquid gasoline" (which does not burn) into the combustion chamber for the "fumes" of gasoline. Using a "gas" introduced into the combustion chamber. It was also decrease pollution by another 50% of cars because "pollution" is simply "unburnt" fuel. Well, liquid gas does not burn. Only the fumes, which is hydrogen. It's how jet engines work, and why they are so efficient (one of the reasons). Imagine 60 MPG? But that means fewer stops at the gas station and OPEC doesn't like that fact. (you would still have liquid gasoline, but each car would turn it to a gas before entering the engine. That's how jets work. And you do that by simply increasing the pressure to go from a liquid to a gas. No less safe than what gasoline is today for cars. And the tech is cheap and real and available. But not released to the public). Just like more efficient solar panels. Batteries and EV's are not the solution for transportation needs. Just fires and high priced vehicles no one can afford. There is no thing as a "giant battery". Simply millions of tiny ones wired together in series. That's your car batteries. 1 million AA Batteries. That's not "high tech", or any better battery technology from 100 years ago. Greed is what causes pollution and the existence of "limited resources". You do know oil wells refill? Yeah, that dirty secret is hard to get out to the public. Oil is not a "limited resource" The earth's crust constantly makes new oil or petroleum, like it does lava. Takes a few years for oil wells to refill, but about 80% do.

The way they hid it and lied about it made the normies even more pro wind as they think the electricity bill going up is due to an energy crisis and not directly linked to pushing the massive costs of connecting up wind being pushed on the consumer.

Events today in NSW show how critical this debate is. So far it is being dominated by a cashed-up wind and solar lobby group that is ruling out all other options. If the lights go out it will be because an old generator's heart gives out while wind and solar energy gatherers underperform - as they so often do. Then expect that the energy ministers will blame "unreliable" coal generators and claim the only problem is we haven't gone far enough, fast enough. The truth is old systems are being flogged to death to make up for the supply gaps left by wind and solar. And evidence from around the world is that the kind of system we are building is a pathway to poverty. If you care about the future of this country and your family make this THE debate of the next election. Cheers Chris Uhlmann

Great documentary Sir. The physics and engineering don’t lie. I have been saying this for the last 5 years on this channel. These renewable zealots drive me nuts with their lies and misinformation. The physics still says nuclear is the future and first principles physics never gets it wrong. Great work Sir 👍

Congratulations on a very informative and well researched documentary Chris. Balanced...but...given the amount of information, figures, and explanations, I'm disappointed there wasn't an additional 5 minutes allocated to the potential COST of a nuclear component in Australia's energy mix. How it would fit in and what we need. There were many learned specialists throughout the piece so I'm sure there'd be a few who could put some figures on it. Helps with the family debate. Or around the morning meeting was there an agenda here? That's ok. I know the answer. For the record, I'm pro nuclear. And the wind/solar issues are very real. Perhaps that might be part 2. I'm a little worried that a Cadbury chocolate could cost my 1 year old granddaughter $5! when the nuclear finally comes online! Seems CCS should be implemented ASAP. Coal will be, actually should be, with us for a bit longer than expected. But alas, with China burning that much coal one has to wonder ... is it all really worth the angst?

Well said Mr Uhlman. You nailed it with this documentary . The bottom line of the renewables and man made climate change nonsense is result of crisis of governance, The Crisis is the legacy of successive Lib/Lab governments serving corporate interests and foreign powers ahead of Australian people. Both major parties have pursued policies concentrating economic and political power in a handful of big banks, retailers, resource giants, and media companies, who profit. At the same time, the public suffers from corruption at all government levels , cost-of-living and housing crises. To my opinion Australian Citizens Party is the only one currently which works for people and aiming to save Australia from disaster . One Nation perhaps is an option ? Next Fed election is critical to get rid of the current Lib / Lab 2 party preferred system and get really independent people in politics who are not career politicians and really working for people . My prefered party at the next election is Australian Citizens Party .

Nuclear energy is the best renewable energy

@corradoalamanni179 Ай бұрын

Well its abundant but not renewable. I call it low carbon

@SeattlePioneer Ай бұрын

Uranium fuel used in a nuclear reactor can be reprocessed and reused. Only about 5% of the energy in uranium fuel is used when it powers a reactor. That also dramatically reduces the amount of waste. By contrast, wind turbines and solar panels consume vast amount of resources and are waste at the end of their useful life. I'd call that renewable.

It is heartbreaking to watch the industrial vandalism of demolishing perfectly functional coal fired power plants. The cost to mothball them would be significantly less than demolition. So now when they realise how wrong these decisions are, the pathways to change are somewhat limited.

Yes, he did an excellent job of presenting right-wing propaganda, but notice that he never provided the numbers to prove the assertion that renewables are making the price of electricity rise in Australia. The reason why over 80% of new electricity generation worldwide is now renewable is because wind and solar energy now have a lower levelized cost of energy than gas and coal, and the price of battery grid storage keeps dropping, so it will soon be cheaper to build new wind and solar plus storage than to keep running old gas and coal generation plants. Look at Lazard's numbers if you don't believe me.

Net zero and renewable energy have ALWAYS been a fantasy. The International Energy Agency admits net zero is technically impossible. Renewables are not now, never have been and never will be, cheap. Much less reliable. This is reflection of several realities; 1. they require significantly more materials, manufacturing and land than fossil fuel equivalents 2. they are unreliable and 3. they have much shorter operational lives than fossil fuel rivals. 20 years. At best. After which it ALL goes into landfill. Fossil fuel rivals last 60 years and more. 4. wind turbines cannot operate without fossil fuel provided lubricants. Add to that Bowen is using prime farm land and world heritage listed rainforest to put his monstrosities up. Don't try telling us that is better for the environment than fossil fuels.

@ you understand when you contest the points I made you’re not arguing with me. You’re arguing with science? Probably not. But, for entertainment, show me a solar or wind farm that operates 24/7. Or one of either that lasts more than 20 years? Finally, show me ANY wind or solar device that was created, and in the case of wind turbines, WITHOUT fossil fuels? I won’t hold my breath waiting for your rebuttal. Because, with science on my side, you don’t have any factual rebuttal. I don’t doubt you have several insults. None of which disprove the facts I have laid out.

The expense for the consumer is not from the cheapest generation (pv plus batteries), but from the marginal pricing applied when volatile gas prices are included. Why should all wholesalers be paid the same during a bidding cycle? We should be buying energy from the cheapest supplier, then buy more expensively if you need more.

John Hanekamp, a St. Louis-based coal industry consultant, stated that, “The incremental coal production in India and China is exceeding whatever coal-fired generation capacity that was retired in the US and Europe. Whatever policymakers thought they were achieving by getting rid of coal, they’ve effectively done nothing but increase the cost of energy.” “We haven’t changed anything but make ourselves energy poorer.”
