Russell Broadbent here, your Federal Member for Monash.
The Net Zero by 2050 target is not grounded in reality. It’s unproductive and it’s adverse to Australian taxpayers and energy consumers – which is all of us!
In the last 3 years, the average capacity of energy projects proposed for connection, has been just 230 megawatts.
How can that be logical when one coal fired power station can produce nearly 7,000 megawatts of continuous and cheap power.
Building these tiny 200-megawatt projects all over the place would devastate our natural lands and wildlife – not to mention building an additional 10,000 km of transmission lines!
When the Government want to spruik shiny trophy-targets like ‘Net Zero’, it is going to be at your expense – TWICE. As a taxpayer, and as a consumer.
There is no path to Net Zero without significant compromise.
That’s Justice as I see it.
