Sinopse
John MacKenzie chats with Senator Matt Canavan about the comments made by Chris Bowen on energy prices and renewables power. Chris Bowen, Federal Minister for Climate Change and Energy, called out the "liars" who blame the rise in energy costs on the radical shift to renewable power, instead pointing to other factors, including the war in Ukraine. Senator Canavan wanted to correct the record, reminding the fact that Australia, as a net producer of energy, does not rely on Russia to meet its energy needs. "We have invested more than anywhere else in the world, in renewable energy. We've been investing in wind and solar at a rate four times the rate in Europe and North America on a per-person basis, and now we have an electricity grid that is struggling to maintain supply" Senator Canavan said.
