Page Research Centre Chief Executive Gerard Holland has claimed renewables are “not better for the environment” as they only reduce emissions by “40 per cent”.
“They [renewables] are not cleaner either,” Mr Holland told Sky News Australia.
“Once you factor in the entire lifespan of these installations … you’re only reducing emissions by about 40 per cent than our existing coal fleet.
“At the same time, you’re destroying farmland, you’re destroying our national parks, you’re having these massive buildouts of industrial plants.
“They’re not better for the environment, they’re certainly not cheaper.”

Bowen can tell us all that the sky is a lovely shade of lime green ….
Doesn’t mean that it is ….
Renewables are damaging the environment , massive land use , ocean industrialisation , killing birds and bats , clearing forests ,,,
and that is not counting the massive waste disposal problems when the turbines and panels are worn out.
I predict that within 20 years, all of these renewables will be inoperable, dismantled, and scattered around the countryside and in landfills, excreting their pollutants and chemicals into the ground, because by then, nuclear energy will be Australia's principal source of energy, and those renewables will be obsolete and proven to be the biggest hoax perpetrated on the Australian people, and the costs of those failed renewables will cause headaches for future governments and future generations.
Put everything in to the power grid
Upgrade coal plants to burn cleaner. Nuclear power and increase gas production, export energy and you will be finhe. Envirenmentalist, Globalist and the government is lying to you.
And while all this crap is going on, these deadbeats in government allow the exportation of 300M ton of coal every year.
Australia has all the natural resources to produce cheap energy power, there is no sane reason to be suffering the way Australians are with high costs of energy and everything else.
The true RENEWABLES are gas and oil as the RENEW every four years that are NOT "fossil fuels" as the form in the earth's hot biosphere every four years and are unlikely to ever run out and Australia floats on gas.
The waste from solar and wind farms are more toxic than nuclear.
As Nikola Tesla said ' All peoples everywhere should have free energy sources."… " Electric Power is everywhere present in unlimited quantities and can drive the world's machinery without the need for coal, oil or gas"….
The myth about our dependence on "fossil fuels" was propagated by greedy billionaires.
True. "Renewables" are actually WORSE for the environment. 💯🎯
Be a hero Australia. Save the world for us.
They end up destroying Forests, Wild Life, Birds, Marine Life, and Farmlands. On top of that they don't produce even a small fraction of Energy which is produced by a Nuclear Power Plant, which Produces (Clean) Energy. 40 Percent Atomic Energy, 30 Percent Gas Energy, 20 Percent Coal and 10 Percent Solar on top of the Roofs of Buildings. Screw Windmills.
I forgot to include Hydro Power Plants powered by Water inside Dams.
The green scams runs by ccp and gives kickbacks to Labour and Green parties.
It's all leftist bullschitt.
Just a way of introducing a new hidden tax.
Truth is people don't want to pay for green when the rest of the world is still burning fossil fuels and worse. We also don't want to pay the 3rd world to go green either, it's not our job and their corrupt leaders just pocket the energy anyway.
It's like the alcohol tax which had to be reduced when people stopped drinking entirely a decade ago. If people truly went green and didn't have electricity at all the government would just find another way of emptying your pockets with some other tax rise.
This insanity will never stop… zero net hoax….. WEF and UN agenda for New World Order…..
Renewables are a waste of money……the uniparty government are deliberately killing of Australian businesses in pursuit of a green fantasy……Bowen is a complete moron.
Can we discuss how much mire expensive nuclear is first? Ah Sky/Fox News Australia such a Echo chamber fir conservatives to indulge in confirmation bias
No word from the hypocritical Greens?
Renewables are only important if you believe that human induced climate change is destroying our planet. Boofheads nuclear red herring is a joke, the sky news allstars just keep talking shit. The transition to renewables is difficult, Labor are doing it, Boofhead stands on the sidelines mouthing trumpian platitudes hoping Murdoch will get him elected. Dopey, deceitful cxxx.
50 lightening strikes every second on earth.
We can geoengineer storm clouds and earthquakes yet cannot seem to harness a free god given source?
Kinetic tidal energy.
Self perpetuating electro magnetic energy.
The list is truly endless
Renewables are an Ecological Disaster .. the Landmass Destruction per GW is enormous, not to mention the requirements of Disposal Recycling .. which is a Laugh have not seen any Legislation on this subject
Wind turbines are horrible for the environment.
Solar is OK for rooftops but should never cover farmland.
Small modular nuclear should replace coal for baseload coverage.
What you are missing in all of this is, 'Who Benefits the most from this renewable energy push'? The manufacturer of the solar panels benefits – who might that be? The manufacturer of the wind generation components benefits – who might that be? And if Australia's energy costs are excessive, then manufacturing anything on home soil becomes uneconomical, forcing Australian consumers to purchase off shore, therefore another country benefits – who might that be? It seems to me that this renewable energy push is actually being, surreptitiously, pushed by the very country that will benefit the most. Perhaps Australian politicians have walked straight into this trap without knowing it!
I have been trolled for saying we need coal and nuclear power for years. Poor Sydney experienced a warm day. We have a week or more 39 plus and the temps go down about 5 degrees if we are lucky during the night. Blackouts are normal in hot weather here. Stop snivelling Sydney siders.
Drrrr
Have you SEEN the Latest WIND Tech? It's SMALL. Cylindrical and work much more efficiently. There is NO Need to Bulldoze the bush and farms. And destroy habitat. We've been CONNED
Really Sky, who knew lol. Trying to run a country on windmills and solar panels. It's all by design, just as the covid plandemic farce, lockdown, forced experimental vaccine, Global warming nonsense, the green energy and net 0 insanity, digital currency and ID, cashless society, the list is endless, all part of the WEF globalist great reset agenda 21-30, depopulation by any means, you will own nothing and be happy brigade..for those with critical thinking, All info available on alternative media.
Nikola Tesla wanted us to have free energy…
Again, humanity f**ked themselves, by being ignorant.
There is no renewable energy. It all needs to be stored in batteries, which are dirty and not renewable.
The so-called renewables are actually bad for the environment.
