Sky News host Chris Kenny says Australia’s Chief Scientist Dr Alan Finkel presented a “fascinating” and “insightful” assessment of Australia’s energy needs now and into the future. Talking at the National Press Club on Wednesday, Dr Finkel renewed calls for Australia to focus on the production of hydrogen as a viable energy source for the future.
“Today … he was realistic about the economic and engineering task of cutting emissions in the energy sector by switching to renewables," Mr Kenny said. “Again he explained the obvious, it'll take decades because it's impossible now, wind and solar are intermittent and we can't store enough of their power at reasonable cost".

Gas-fired power will ‘save Australia’ | Sky News AustraliaSky News host Chris Kenny says amid the debate surrounding the feasibility of renewables and coal, it will actually be “gas-fired power that saves the day in Australia”. \n\nMr Kenny said Tuesday’s parliamentary sitting saw more of federal politicians “tearing themselves apart” over coal-fired generation. \n\nGovernment MPs continue to trade blows after Prime Minister Scott Morrison announced $4 million funding for a feasibility study into a new coal plant in Collinsville.\n\nMr Kenny said the discussion around a new coal plant is 'is not the be-all and end all when it comes to our energy need”. \n\n“With so much renewable power already in place … and with all the climate activism, it will be gas-fired power that saves the day in Australia.\n\n“More coal-fired baseload power would be a good thing … [but] the sooner we get plenty of fast-start gas generation the better.” \n It's a shame we can't use all the hot air produced by Chris Kenny to generate electricity. Nuclear hear and now.. Saves what day? Why can't the rest of Australia do what SA did with renewables and a battery - and enjoy lower electricity costs as well?

Australia is 'routinely slammed' for emissions reductions by the 'climate cult' | Sky News AustraliaSky News host Peta Credlin says the “one-sided climate protests” which predominantly target Australia and “Trump’s America”, show how the “climate cult is less about reducing emissions than affirming belief”.\n\nBoth Australia and the US have reduced the carbon emissions by “13 per cent since 2005,” a stark contrast to Canada led by the “ultra-woke” Justin Trudeau who have cut emissions by only two per cent in the same time.\n\nAlthough Australia is “routinely slammed” for reportedly “not doing enough”, it is “one of very few countries” who have reliably met its emissions targets, Ms Credlin said.\n\nThe “climate zealots”, said the Sky News host, believe meeting emissions reductions targets - “as Australia is doing' - is not “nearly as important” as proclaiming that “climate change is the world’s gravest problem”.\n\n“We shouldn't allow the climate zealots to misrepresent the facts because compromising our economic fundamentals to strike a pose overseas is a betrayal of our countries future security,” said Ms Credlin.\n\nImage: Getty\n So true credlin CREDLIN PULL YOUR HEAD IN Odd.
