“They know, and one suspects that Morrison and Turnbull know too \u2014 we all know, really \u2014 that the only reason coal is \u201ccheap\u201d is that the cost of dealing with the carbon dioxide that comes from burning it is not included in the price…\u00a0<\/em><\/strong><\/p><\/blockquote>

Those crises have now arrived in the form of blackouts, and they are not caused by too much renewable energy. As the BCA makes clear, it\u2019s due to a lack of investment, in turn due to a lack of policy certainty and clarity.<\/em><\/p>

This is entirely the Liberal Party\u2019s fault <\/strong>\u2014 not just Malcolm Turnbull\u2019s, although he is a rather pathetic figure now. If he didn\u2019t go along with the hoax, he\u2019d be sacked and another PM would.<\/em><\/p>
