In response to 'Forget subsidies': Solar-battery hybrids can deliver 'incredibly competitive' power for big industry

The quantum leap

Sophie Vorrath is spot-on. Coal and gas in energy generation are the dinosaurs of our age. That doesn’t stop politicians like Matt Canavan and Barnaby Joyce promoting them as the future.

But, as always in politics, economics will eventually trump ignorance when the costs of backing those dinosaurs cannot be sustained any longer.
