Renewables are bad for the environment
Labor and the Greens are still refusing to hold an inquiry into the impacts of renewables on our farmland, waterways and National Parks.

Which model of the 40 models is the right model? The CSIRO can’t say. They just want us to trust them.
In Estimates I asked Treasury why they are allowing building companies to go broke.
Bisphenol A is an endocrine disrupter that has been linked to about 80 diseases including cancers and reproductive disorders. It is lethal for young children. In 2012, the World Health Organisation warned about the potentially carcinogenic properties of endocrine disrupters and concluded that they pose a global threat to public health.
In estimates I asked for the work papers behind the decisions as to where to place community batteries.
Labor are clueless when it comes to delivering the things that matter. Chamber: Senate on 6/11/2023Item: QUESTIONS WITHOUT NOTICE: TAKE NOTE OF ANSWERS – Answers To Questions Senator RENNICK (Queensland) (15:55): It’s good to rise and talk about what a debacle
Labor are out of control. They need to lower immigration as they are importing a homelessness crisis.
In the Senate I spoke about Australia’s flawed energy policy and the climate change hysteria that is behind it.
The deliberate lies and fear mongering needs to end.
After trying to justify expensive taxpayer funded batteries by claiming they were going to be aimed at parts of the electricity system that couldn’t be connected to the grid, it turns out they are being installed in inner city suburbs.
I am currently collating information from residents who are about to be impacted by transmission lines & other renewable energy infrastructure, to gather data such as how many properties will be affected and where. All of your submissions will be
The Hawke Keating Government introduced many policies that destroyed Australia’s sovereignty. • In 1983 Hawke got the High Court to rule that Foreign Treaties should override the State governments •In 1985 Keating lifted all foreign capital controls allowing banks to
What the hell is a central banker doing spreading fear about climate change?
Bullock should be more worried about the impact of renewables on the cost of living.
“But when we are producing what’s called the levelised cost of energy, we not costing the whole system, we’re just modelling the “delivered” cost of energy from different technologies. There are a lot of uncertain factors in that.” In estimates
As of 2021 the following Federal government schemes were in place. This has probably increased since then but I haven’t had time to see by how much. On top of this there are State government subsidies as well which are also substantial. Note also renewables like wind and solar farms don’t have to put down environmental bonds like mines do
Here is another broken promise or lack of transparency. In an earlier set of estimates, I asked the acting environment minister, Senator McAllister, just how many kilometres of transmission lines we need to reach 82 per cent of renewables by 2030.

Last week the Labor party passed the Safeguard mechanism. This is without a doubt the most destructive bill ever passed during my time in the Senate.
If renewables are cheaper, why do we need to give a tax break of up to $30,000 for every new EV that is bought? That is absolutely absurd.
It’s interesting that in my first ever Senate inquiry—it was a Senate inquiry into the Great Barrier Reef—my first ever question, to the Australian Institute of Marine Science, was: ‘Do you have a database of all the health KPIs relating to the reef that demonstrates a change or a trend from 1980?’ That’s when they first started recording data…
It is well known that wind farms kill millions and millions of birds and bats. They kill apex birds. They kill lots and lots of bats. Many people probably don’t know that bats, along with bees, are one of the major pollinators in our environment.
I rise to speak to the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change and their so-called reporting of the temperature change in Australia since 1910, saying that the temperature has risen by 1.44 degrees…
I will tell you what our policy is, by the way, when it comes to energy: it is cheap and reliable energy that is going to create jobs in the manufacturing sector—not in the imports, not in the cost sector, creating energy; no. We had the world’s cheapest energy from the world’s best coal when Labor came to power in 1990…
The Morrison government has committed billions and billions of dollars to renewable energy—not the least $10 billion in the Clean Energy Fund; $5 billion in the Snowy Hydro; $3.5 billion for the Climate Solutions Package; $2.5 billion for the Emissions Reduction Fund; $1.5 billion for the Australian Renewable Energy Agency; $1 billion for the Grid Reliability Fund, which has now become another fund; and $0.5 billion for the Hydrogen Strategy. That comes to about $24 billion all up.
The great Franklin Roosevelt once said that there’s nothing to fear but fear itself, so it’s good to speak to this urgency motion. For the record, I don’t support any subsidies at all to any type of energy…
Fear has been a tool that governments, and even the ancient civilisations of Egypt, have used to rule over their people, and these days there are people who are fearful of the climate changing enough that it will cause humans

The phrase “renewables are cheaper” is thrown around like confetti by climate alarmists. Yet scratch the surface and it turns out this claim is based on false assumptions.
In estimates the energy department was caught out confusing pricing and costing.
Just because renewable energy is sold in the middle of the day for nothing or below zero doesn’t make it cheaper.
This is an earlier set of questions I put to the Bureau of Meteorology about their homogenisation of weather records, back in May 2021. Why is the Bureau making hundreds of millions of iterations to past weather observations? Why is the
What traps convection is gravity. It’s why the surface of the earth is warmer than say the top of Mt Everest. Gravity stops all the molecules in the atmosphere including O2 and N2 from floating off into outer space.
The Albanese government is spending $224 million of your hard earned dollars for 400 community batteries.
It’s amazing how the government is happy to lend to the big end of town at concessional rates, while allowing the RBA to shaft the little guy with rapid interest rate rises.
Since then Australia has reduced its CO2 emissions from over 600 million tonnes to less than 500 million tonnes. So we are closer to absorbing four times more CO2 than we emit.
In 2017 the CSIRO said it would cost $1 trillion dollars to convert the energy grid to 100% renewables. Then last year they claimed the costs had dropped by 50% or a lazy $500 billion despite rampart inflation.
At the moment, much of research literature, as you probably will be frustrated by, is behind a paywall. You want to access information, and it’s fantastic that you are so interested in this, and be able to really dig in to really get an understanding.
