Please note that there are powerful lobby groups in Australia that have interests in fossil fuel businesses and promote journalism that exaggerates problems with renewable energy. Eg see this:

- theshadowknows 8y agoI thought exactly the same thing. It looks like the power companies want to have more control over individual homes’ solar panels and they are inventing a “crisis” as a way to do it.
- ThomPete 8y agoJust as there are powerful interest in solar and wind. Edit: To the downvoters. What are you disagreeing with? Are you claiming that the wind and solar industry doesn't have special interest and that they aren't powerful especially when you look at the support it has politically?
- pjc50 8y agoPeople are generally familiar with the self-interest of the fossil industry, but you seem to be saying that everyone who supports renewables is also in it for the money? Without evidence?
- ThomPete 8y agoWhat do you want evidence for? Are you saying that those who invest in solar or wind do not have a self-interest in what they invested in. That seems to be a much bigger claim that the very obvious that any investment you make you have a self interest in. Climate gate should have made it quite obvious that no one is excempt from bias. Thomas Kuhn wrote a whole book about it.
