Can Australia - or any other country afford NetZero?

The almost feverish hatred of coal and closure of hundreds of coal-fired power stations across woke nations of the world before we had something to replace them with will go down in history as one of the most stupid things we've ever done. Especially given our current level of scientific knowledge and advanced ability in technology.

Replacing something that works inexpensively and efficiently with something that is expensive and inefficient shouldn't make sense to anyone.

But governments throughout the Western World have bowed to the woke progressives who have pushed an alarmist global warming agenda that demands we rid the world of excess C02, that gas that is 0.04% in the atmosphere and needed by every living thing on Earth. We need it and vegetation to create the air we breathe.

Some people are beginning to wake up to the fact that not only is NetZero unachievable, but it will also create massive use of limited funds that could be spent more wisely; solving hunger, homelessness, poverty, ill health, and bringing billions of people up to a decent standard of living to name just a few.

Six weeks out from an election, Australians must decide between two bad choices for a party to run our country for the next three years. Both parties subscribe to the UN's IPCC nonsense of killing off reliable energy to be replaced with ugly, inefficient, and highly expensive wind turbines and solar panels with limited benefits.

Most of the products that go into the above two solutions create millions of tonnes of C02 and other gases and pollutants, cause bird deaths, make beautiful hills look horrible, and take up much more space than a High Efficiency Low Emission coal-fired power station. They're also full of components manufactured or mined by slave labour or children in third-world countries.

Now, this video estimates the costs we'll face to kill off our reliable energy and replace it with a dud.

What will the high school students in 50 year's time say about us when they study modern history?
