h\/t Climate Realists of Five Dock, JoNova<\/a>; \u201c\u2026 you were being realistic and they didn\u2019t want to hear it. \u2026\u201d \u2013 Aussie climate and energy minister Chris Bowen<\/a> has been accused of ignoring criticism of his green energy fantasies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

From the transcript;<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u2026 We can\u2019t make this transition to we absolutely convinced we what we\u2019ve got. The alternative is going to work. There\u2019s going to be at a price point that it won\u2019t kill the economy. At the moment, we\u2019ve got neither of those.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Mark Colvin: you say the idea of getting to 80% renewables by 2030 is complete BS. You say closer to 80 years?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Yeah, well, you\u2019ve got to build these things. You know, transmissionlines.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

They say their own reports say you\u2019ll need 82.0 or their equivalents12.1, 2.8, eight, ten years. So get eight. I can do my math. It\u2019s got tobe 80, 70. So you\u2019ll be another generation before anything like.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Anything like.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What they\u2019re talking about occurs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We know it\u2019s never too late to learn a lesson. What would you say to Chris Bowen if he\u2019s listening this morning?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Oh, take a big good and take.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A big, deep breath. You know, you\u2019re a minister now. You\u2019ve got responsibilities. You\u2019ve got to you\u2019ve got to put it all on the line and you\u2019ve got to be you\u2019ve got you\u2019ve got to be honest to everybody about it. \u2026Listen to the interview or read the transcript: https:\/\/omny.fm\/shows\/ben-fordham-full-show\/it-s-bullshit-former-snowy-2-0-boss-sprays-chris-b#description<\/a><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

WUWT recently reported on the timetable and budget blowouts<\/a>, but what this reveals is far worse.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Paul Broad<\/a>, the man who ran the Snowy 2 project from 2013 to 2022, has accused the Australian Government of basing their entire green energy transition plan on fantasies.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Australia\u2019s\u00a0Climate and Energy Minister Chris Bowen<\/a>\u00a0appears to be the chief fantasist. Bowen has repeatedly revealed his terrifying ignorance of energy matters, like when he told Australians we can store electricity like water.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Chris Bowen isn't having any of Uhlmann's 'wind doesn't always blow' rhetoric.

"the rain doesn't always fall either, but we manage to store the water – we can store the renewable energy if we have the investment"#auspol<\/a> pic.twitter.com\/LjJkEr3zJy<\/a><\/p>— Squizz (@SquizzSTK) June 16, 2022<\/a><\/blockquote>
