If you listen to the Govt BS (let’s not even consider the #NoAlition ‘s views here) about a #gas led #transition to #renewables there is something that you must absolutely aware of… We Are Being Screwed by the #FossilFuelIndustries. Period!
In case you’re unsure, have a read of this (it’s nothing new, but it has to be repeated in order to be heard above all the BS that is washing over the truth);
This is from #GregJericho (he has repeated this story over and over again in the hope that peeps will eventually ‘Get It’:
“The problem for Australia is that since the opening of the Gladstone LNG terminal, gas prices on the eastern seaboard have been linked with the world price of gas. Because Russia is a major producer of gas, its invasion of Ukraine and subsequent sanctions of Russian gas and other trade sent world gas prices soaring – doubling from January 2022 to September that year.
And gas is an expensive way to generate electricity – much more so than renewables, but under the National Energy Market the most expensive generation determines the prices. And so electricity prices follow gas”.

So this is where we’re at. Ever increasing energy prices because of two related things. 1) the way energy pricing is determined (a fool’s market for the punters) and 2) tying the cost of domestic gas to world market prices (a #Grifter’s paradise if there ever was one, why wouldn’t they love it?)
If you don’t like where this is going - email/write to your politicians and express your indignation and threaten to vote for someone who’ll listen and do s’thing about it.
Local Council, State and Territories, and of course federal elections, make your vote count for what you want from govt not the BS you hear from them.
