"Australia is getting used to fossil fuel misinformation campaigns. They have
their foundations in the climate and technology denial and the protections of a
trillion dollar industry, and became a performative art under the federal
Coalition government.
Batteries and electric vehicles were and remain favourite targets. So are wind
and solar. The mocking of advanced technologies remains the bread and butter of
the troglodytes in the conservative media, but the misinformation is so
ingrained it has infiltrated into the mainstream to the point where it is often
parroted without question, or thought.
And if you had any doubts about the source of this nonsense – the fossil fuel
industry, of course – they would have been laid to rest listening in, as I did
on Thursday morning, to the half-year results presentation of the listed gas
and energy infrastructure company APA Group.
It was the first presentation by the new CEO, Adam Watson, and he wanted to
make a big impression, and emphasise the importance of dirty gas to the clean
energy transition, and the comparative uselessness of battery storage.
His primary target was the country’s biggest battery installation to date, the
300MW/450MWh Victoria Big Battery facility near Geelong."
