Sanjeev Gupta: Coal power is no longer cheaper – and we'll prove it | Environment | The Guardian
The British billionaire investing in South Australia believes renewables are the future of energy because it makes economic sense
Like dominoes, corporate heads and billionaires are turning their backs on coal power and the false logic that it's the cheapest means of powering their businesses. With each and everyone turning to renewables media criers like News Corp's Andrew Bolt are ignored and simply seen as the mining hucksters that they are. These moguls natural homes one would have thought lay with lobbyists like the IPA but economics has proved the opposite and they will all turn to the logic and economic rationality of science and away from the irrationality of politics that moves ever so slowly. Gupta's bigger threat to his bottom line is Trump and his trade war rise in costs up 10-25% forcing an exercise in cheaper production.
"The British billionaire who rescued the Whyalla steelworks from administration and is spending more than $2bn on clean energy and green steel developments in regional South Australia says most Australians are yet to grasp that solar power is now a cheaper option than new coal-fired electricity."
" Gupta’s position is consistent with the Australian energy market operator, which last week released a forecast that found renewable electricity backed by storage and gas would be the lowest cost replacement for the existing coal fleet. The market operator also found it was important to avoid early departures from the electricity grid to ensure an orderly transition."
Mining the IPA and Gina
" Mining billionaire Gina Rinehart has been revealed as a major donor to conservative think tank the Institute of Public Affairs. Disclosures made in the New South Wales Supreme Court on Tuesday showed Rinehart’s mining company, Hancock Prospecting, made $4.5 million in donations to the IPA in 2016 and 2017, comprising more than one-third of the Institute’s income. The IPA is not required to disclose its donors as it is a registered charity, but regularly publishes papers and arranges media appearances for its representatives to promote a sceptical view of climate change that closely mirrors that of Rinehart."
DON'T BRING YOUR 11-YEAR-OLD TO A BRAWL, SARAH
Bringing your 11-year-old daughter to a political brawl is irresponsible: "The daughter of Greens Senator Sarah Hanson-Young says ... Mr Leyonhjelm had lied when he insinuated her mother was promiscuous during an interview on Sky News. 'Being unfair to women or any gender isn’t right...,' Kora told The Sunday Project. ”
Bolt calls foul when children are brought into politics except when they are Indigenous, Sudanese, Muslim or Lebanese. He went about telling us what little shits the kids at Don Dale were and they deserved everything they got. That it was the prison guards the needed the sympathy or like when Bolt and his son James mocked the young Sudanese women's beauty pageant in last December's podcast sponsored by the IPA for thinking they might be judged beautiful.
Apparently, it's fine to defame mothers, publicly slut- shame them and that won't have any consequences in the schoolyard, will it? But have a child stand up willingly and call their mother's shamer a liar will place her in danger because the schoolyard kids somehow support bullies? No, it's a rhetorical flip to make Leyonjhelm the victim. How bent is that?
In the world of logic Leyonjhelm was the cause of his own demise, not the other way round. Bolt logic, however, edits the narrative of reality and what actually has occurred altering both the context and history and truncates it. He attempts to rewrite and distance the narrative from the timeline of what occurred and politely trying to "shut the kid up" by blaming mum and Ch10 as if theirs was a bigger crime.
Bolt's a rating whore on Sky News and he will willingly tell anyone his are fantastic using as his baseline his family or some other small group like Foxtel subscribers. However, he's trying to suggest Ch10 and the Project are concerned about theirs when they are approximately 25 ++ times greater than his on any one night.
STRANGERS IN OUR OWN LAND
Column Something's missing in the new Son-of-Crocodile-Dundee advertisement we’re told was a hit - the ad in which Chris Hemsworth takes Danny McBride to hypnotise buffaloes in the Top End, catch barramundi, chat on an ochre outcrop and fly over a spectacular outback gorge. Missing are the Australians, who'd rather fly to Bali than this bush.
You can't get a more stupid question than this from Andrew Bolt who doesn't holiday in Australia. In the past few years, his family has holidayed in Bali and every other part of this planet except Australia.
The fact that seems to be lost on him is that Grey Nomads are covering the whole country in swarms so much so camping grounds are full in season, something that escapes Bolt who pretends to be Australian when he dreams of other places while criticizing us. He's the stranger and where does he get off calling Australia "our" land. His mother hated the place and taught Bolt to do the same.
WHY MELBOURNE IS THE MOST DANGEROUS CITY FOR CONSERVATIVES
Column Melbourne is now our most dangerous city for conservatives. The violent Left attacks them and Victoria Police then charge for protection. The latest victims of this protection racket: two Canadian alt-Right internet stars, Lauren Southern and Stefan Molyneux, charged $68,000 to save them from Leftists trying to shut down their Melbourne event.
