It’s always spin over substance! 1. The Head of the CSIRO is clueless. He clearly only answers questions that suit his narrative and takes everything else on notice. Whatever happened to accountability in answering questions. 2. Why bother turning up to estimates if you aren’t going to bring your subject matter experts - especially in regard to their GenCost report which is used by useful idiots like Chris Bowen to justify their lies. 3. The CSIRO is misleading the Australian public by overstating the capacity of Windfarms. They have a capacity of 30% not 50%. This understates their costs by 40%. 4. Assuming Nuclear and Coal have an average capacity of 60% is misleading. If allowed to run 24 hours a day without being turned down for solar in the middle of the day their capacity can be 90%. 5. By overstating wind and understating coal/nuclear capacity the way they have, coal/nuclear is costed at being 20% more efficient than wind. I.e. 60% over 50% instead of 300% more efficient. I.e. 90% over 30%. 6. The net result of this is that efficiency of baseload power is understated by 15 times in relation to Wind power. 7. Storage costs are completely ignored in costings, especially in regard to locating and building pumped hydro. The CSIRO have no idea where the pumped hydro is going to go. The Net Zero fantasy is going to destroy this country. #auspol
