What a hypocrisy

CURRENTLY in Australia, we have 22 coal-fired power stations.

That is all we have to power all of our needs for industry, domestic use and government.

The Greens and Labor keep telling us that even 22 is too many. They are demanding a renewable energy target of 50 per cent. The LNP isn’t much better, they want a target of 40 per cent.

Useless inefficient solar panels and wind turbines will not provide baseload power. Ever.

This is total madness and an economic suicide death wish of massive proportions.

India is building 41 new coal-fired power stations. China is constructing 130 new stations. They are both using Australian coal to power them up.

Does anyone else see the hypocrisy of our left-leaning politicians here?
