Attorney-General Mark Dreyfus has laughed off concerns of a yet-to-be released government report which shows the disastrous effects of coal-fired power plant closures – declaring: “We are in an energy transition”.

Sky News Australia has obtained a report detailing the forecasted effects of the closure of coal mines and power plants in the New South Wales Hunter region.

AGL announced it would close its Bayswater coal-fired power plant 10 years ahead of schedule in 2035. Picture: Getty Images “The whole world is in an energy transition, we are moving towards renewables we are moving towards a high level of renewable energy in the Australian energy sector,” he said. “We are right in a long-term transition away from coal towards more renewable energy. There’s going to be an ongoing debate for decades to come about how we can make this energy transition.”

The grim outlook for the region is expected to expand to further coal intensive areas across the country. “We’re working to make sure that areas that are highly dependent on cheaper energy… actually have a plan for their future,” Ms Plibersek told Sky News Australia’s Laura Jayes on Thursday.

Transition to bankruptcy....a clueless oxygen thief.

A transition of lies. Where is the analysis determing this transition will create reduced energy costs required to have competitive industries and deliver the promise Labor gave to reduce a households energy cost by at least $200 based on costs prior to the election.

Gee, ya don’t say?

There is no energy transition. First you need a viable energy source to transition to. I haven't heard of any new nuclear power stations being built, because that is the only other viable option. Wind an solar are a joke.

He is in 'energy transition', we are in 'energy policy driven poverty'. Remember this, the Govt literally laughs at your financial pain.

How much of that Transition do you actually pay from your pocket FA I'd say

Play this back every time there’s a power outage

He won't be laughing when the lights go out and we kick this rotten government out of office.

utter idiots
