Dear Coalition please note “renewables provide the cheapest form of energy; that coal-fired power is much more expensive and that global gas prices have driven energy costs up over the last few years – not the renewables transition“ Thanks @zoedaniel.bsky.social www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...
The Coalition is spinning a lie that climate action is economically bad. How are they getting away with it? | Zoe Daniel
In this post-truth environment, the interests of coal and gas are somehow able to win the hearts and minds of voters

The climate crisis is expensive: net zero is cheaper for Australia than not doing more
The Coalition claims net zero by 2050 will cost too much – but unchecked warming or even a delayed transition would be worse for the economy
