If you pathetic cogs ring up and complain about our grand plans to let Adani suck 12 billion litres from the Suttor River and sell it to Clive and Gina then I will have to devour my top hat.
Do not ring up Frydenberg on 02 6277 7920 tomorrow! https://t.co/isXY21PHeK

New data from Green Energy Markets predicts renewable energy will supply 33.3 per cent of the eastern states' National Electricity Market's generation or about 62,600 gigawatt hours by 2020, and over 40 per cent by 2030. https://t.co/lJdiXwOmGT
Abbott's threats strike fear into the heart of our Environment Minister, who now promises that his signature energy policy, the aptly named #NEG, would offer support to a new coal power station, and will help prolong the life of coal

Despite the #NEG configured to shut down any new renewables projects after 2020, Minister Frydenberg now hands Tony Abbott a new coal plant on a platter. What will he ask for next?

"The only policy incentive for new investment in wind and solar will come through the state-based targets..
Worse..the mechanism..appears designed to penalise those retailers who “over-achieve” on their emissions"

Dear Australians. We're trying to flog the #NEG.
Shane doesn't like it. Lily doesn't like it. Tony doesn't like it even though its my "best chance" for new coal.
So I fixed it. Looks like the NEG is now the best chance for old coal too.
Yours etc.

Talking to an electrified audience #smartenergysummit@TristanEdis warned about the power of the incumbents to send renewables projects to the wall if #NEG is passed in its current format. @dylanjmcconnell talks of limits of a pure energy market solution for new capacity #VRET
New polling has found an unprecedented 84% of Australians prefer renewables "even it costs more" rather than environment damaging coal. Even 72% of LNP voters prefer renewables. Dont hobble clean energy with a do nothing #NEG#Frydosuaurus

I remember the day in 1988 well, when Jim Hansen testified that global warming is here. I was an oceanography PhD student in New Zealand then. That was 23 years after in 1965 an expert panel warned the US president that global warming would be coming. https://t.co/hyk1krxTea
NEG is worse than useless: overambition penalties & low target that is in the pipeline already will scuttle investment. It is designed to preserve the status quo -a two hour thought balloon to appease backbenchers who are now squeaking about NEG as an EIS.

Analyst David Leitch takes to the low target NEG:
• penalty rather than reward for overachievement
• lack of access to the registry reinforces market power of gentailers
• no provision for “additionality” - NSW gets a free ride
• international credits

Because #NEG only apportions the electricity sector a pro rata target of 26-28%, it places massive burdens on other sectors to meet our (low) Paris targets, as the electricity sector is much easier to reduce.

PS: low target is locked in so no new projects
