Offer ends 31 October, 2023 A day earlier Energy Minister Chris Bowen announced a capacity mechanism which will “unleash” clean, dispatchable energy across Australia. Picture: NCA NewsWire / Dan Peled “Extraordinary times call for extraordinary measures. And we know with the Russian invasion of Ukraine, what we’ve seen is a massive increase in global energy prices,” he said.

In 6 months the ALP have done more than the Loser Ninny Party did in a DECADE. But, sook some more….

A bullshit plan, ditch net zero that's a scam and build more coal fired power stations. Renewables run on subsidies and the weather

Constructive ?

privatizing electricity in Australia was the biggest con of all time

This guy said he had a constructive plan in the 1930s

it is not 'constructive'. It is destructive.

What raising taxes?!!!

Let collectively stop paying our power bills and see what happens

Nothing like being a shadow life guard, that pushes people in the water, so they can feel special and pull them out. Sky WTF are you doing.

I have a plan also. Sack the Govt and all woke politicians.

When he said he has a “constructive plan” you’d think oh great. What he said was, he has a “comfortable plane”

Blah Blah and just more rubbish 🗑

AlboMP when oh when will you learn to deliver a speech. You are one of the least engaging Prime Ministers I have seen over the last 40 years. Oh and yes your policies and promises will not do anything to help with energy prices. You are actively making the situation worse.

You could start by paying the $275 off power bills for starters. Funny that.

What a clown.

dictating the price of coal to sustain reliable power supply while crowing for an end to coal power......

Illwait..

Labor/Greens, are on there way to bankrupt ,Australia.

Where's my $275, can't expect states to give much of a rebate.

Is he going to sack Bowen? That would help my woes.

I voted Labor but I'm pretty gun shy when it comes to Labor's promises. Albo said we would all be better of under Labor etc, it's only been 6 months and I'm actually worse of. Hopefully they keep this promise. 🤔

Any mention of Lower Energy Bill means they'll be charging more... 2022..Electricity...An 'essential service' has become a luxury for some...

A constructive plan would be to go Nuclear... or coal power. Cheaper than fake climate change green nonsense!

Oh OK...... Where's all the LNP supporters now HUH? Over a decade of promises from the LNP and nothing. Then Labor gets in and after just a few months Lib supporters whinge Labor's doing nothing. And just a few months in they are..WELL WELL WELL where's all the whingers now?

Albo has had another one

Ah so you have a plan for a plan hey 🤔🤦🏼‍♀️

Live: Albanese speaks following meeting of national cabinetNational cabinet discussed strategies to curb expected energy price hikes, with the federal government promising to intervene in the energy market by Christmas. Follow live. It’s so good that Aussies fell for Albo’s lies about power prices and cost of living. Now he can push his renewable agenda really hard to make investors and big business super rich all paid for by skyrocketing prices to ensure the people pay for the rich to get richer. Current renewables are regularly supplying 55%+ of our daily energy needs which is great. So can the AlboMP please explain why this hasn't had the predicted outcome of cheaper electricity prices that you all keep repeating. LilyDAmbrosioMP Bowenchris The root cause is this man who shut down energy piplelines, has printed more money than anyone else in the entire universe, started a proxy war with Russia and blew up the Nordstream gas pipeline. So the question is, what is ALBO going to do about BIDEN?

‘An absolute disgrace’: PM Albanese has a ‘closed mind’ on nuclear energyPrime Minister Anthony Albanese has a “closed mind” on nuclear energy, Shadow Climate Change and Energy Minister Ted O’Brien says. Mr Albanese recently dismissed Labor Premier Peter Malinauskas’ suggestion people ought to be open-minded about nuclear energy. “I think it is an absolute disgrace,” Mr O’Brien told Sky News host Chris Kenny. “Doesn't it tell you a lot … that you have one Labor Leader saying ‘I’ve got an open mind to a national conversation about nuclear energy,’ and it hits the front page of the papers,” he said. “We are at such a low ebb with the Labor Party being so ideologically driven on how to solve what really is a problem for engineers and economists. “That we have got the Prime Minister saying he is not prepared to even have a national conversation about the industrial scale, zero emissions technology that the rest of the world is embracing and is prepared to slap down one of his own for having the common sense to say ‘I’m open-minded, let’s have a conversation'.” Imagine if we had nuclear power plants! Electricity is cheap! Not one country in the world has or will master green energy into its economy without a base load power unless they want to go broke. Time for discussion! One thing for sure, Albanese hasn't got a 'closed mind' in his misguided Ideology 👎
