That's odd for two reasons. One, the article makes no mention of how alternative energy drives costs up and, two why is Australia unique in having an increase in energy prices when every other country that has brought in green energy has experienced a decline in electricity costs? Could it be due to the fact that the energy sector was deregulated at about the same time that the Aussies decided to go green? Apparently being allowed to charge whatever you want for electricity results in cost increases.

Nice of you to use an highly conservative news site for your source, Walter. How long did it take you to find it?
Yes I see how energy costs are going down in Ontario .

He should believe the CBC

2. Pricey green energy

Wind, solar and bio-energy account for 6.3 per cent of total electricity generated in the province, but 16.3 per cent of the total generation cost, according to the auditor general's recent investigation into hydro price. Auditor Bonnie Lysyk criticized the government for offering overly generous contracts when it launched its big green energy push in 2009. Despite shifting gears to a competitive bidding process, the auditor found that in 2014, Ontario was still paying "double the market price for wind and 3½ times the market price for solar energy."

See green energy is driving the costs down . And in other news the sky is now red .

Actually, I forget which Government it was that signed a long term contract with the northern states, to sell all of our surplus power at a fixed rate which now is now lower than cost....
Add to that the new smart meters that are basically good for the individual consumer to save money, but the "catch" is that if we reduce our hydro use, we just have more to sell at a loss....
Which we have to pay for with our income tax....then if you add green energy subsidies, we loose three different ways....

Authorities in 11 countries warn residents and tourists to take precautions amid region’s most intense heatwave – nicknamed Lucifer – since 2003

As temperatures in many places hit or exceeded 40C (104F) in the region’s most sustained heatwave since 2003, emergency services are being put on standby and people have been asked to “remain vigilant”, stay indoors, avoid long journeys, drink enough fluids and listen for emergency advice from health officials.

Global warming a scam? Nonsense. It's pretty tough to argue with thermometers (thermometers are not models): NOAA Paleoclimatology Global Warming - The Data
Global Land-Ocean Temperature, 1880 - present | Climate Change Science | Climate Change | Yale Forum on Religion and Ecology

Wally, I think your beef is actually with the idea that there's been human influences on global warming. Or in the very least, that's Spencer's beef.


I'm wondering if the author of the O.P. is having second thoughts about the idiocy of the title of the thread! :)

Sadly while all the technically smart people are knuckling it around cause our asses and legs have like fallen off all over the floor...from too much RAOTFLOAO...

They will club us to death like seals and then they will all starve to death because they gave all their money to MMGW fruits like Al GORE, while all the vegetables are all frozen to death in july out in the back yard gardens, from the reality of the actual climate.

They will probably eat us first.

See green energy is driving the costs down . And in other news the sky is now red .

You know that on Mars where the government said the sky was red, they lied and got caught eh?
( someone noticed the camera's treatment of the nasa logo on the probe, and when they correctd for the right color on that...)
The sky there is actually blue...and some people still believe those same liars in regards to this MMGW crap.

lol
