"Little wonder there was a walkout by attendees at a Brisbane solar and storage
conference this week in the middle of a speech delivered by the federal
Coalition’s energy spokesman Ted O’Brien. Every day the Opposition digs itself
ever deeper into an anti-renewable, nuclear fanboy policy hole. And they insist
it’s not about ideology.
The Coalition, through the Nationals, have made it clear that they intend to
bring the roll out of large scale wind, solar and storage, and new transmission
lines, to a halt. And Nationals leader David Littleproud has vowed to rip up
contracts signed by the Commonwealth in its Capacity Investment Scheme if the
Coalition ever wins power.
That threat would take economic destruction to a new and unprecedented level,
beyond the Coalition’s scrapping of the carbon price and its attempts to do the
same to the renewable energy target.
But the intent is clear: It is to use threats, fear tactics and right wing
media to try and make big institutions think twice about investing in
Australia. And truth and honesty is the first casualty."
