NSW Nationals MP Michael Johnsen says the idea pushed by “climate change zealots” to export solar and wind energy overseas through thousands of kilometres of direct current cables is “fanciful”. A report by Channel Ten’s The Project claimed 59,000 new jobs could be created if Australia committed to a 53 per cent emissions reduction target by 2030 with the export of renewable energy being at the forefront.
Mr Johnsen said he “couldn’t imagine” how much useable land would be needed to generate enough electricity for such a project to be viable. He told Sky News host Chris Kenny what is needed to spearhead Australia’s economic recovery post-coronavirus is a drive in investment to ensure there are “cheaper forms of energy”.

JohnsenMp Sky...dont show these segments You're only give $50 billion indebted-Andrews new ideas on how to waste taxpayer's money
MillyMolly300 JohnsenMp Even Nicola Tesla proved DC transmission is flawed and only good for short distances. High frequency AC is a more efficient for long haul transmission. And looking at inductive losses of the lines.
oz_jacko JohnsenMp Ohmmmmm ?
JohnsenMp I’m a climate change zealot, but yep it’s crazy, the sun shines in Asia already and cables always have more loss the longer they are. Solar next to the dying coal plants is clever tho!
JohnsenMp Did these people actually get an education, Although you cant teach common sense so where do they come up with these junk idea's I really hope it's not tax payer funded.
JohnsenMp Clearly not watched this 👇🏻👇🏻
