Because when you’re a socialist, all that is needed to fix a problem is a government target, right?
Chris Bowen outlines government’s Climate Change Bill, vows to legislate emissions reduction target in the first week of parliament
The Albanese Government will seek to legislate its 2030 and 2050 emissions reduction targets, as part of its Climate Change Bill, to be introduced in the first week of parliamentary sittings.

Mr Bowen outlined four key elements of the bill, which he said would help provide policy stability and certainty to the energy sector.
“Firstly, we will seek to enshrine in law our nationally determined contribution of 43 per cent emissions reduction by 2030 and net zero by 2050,” he said.
“Secondly we will explicitly task in law the Climate Change Authority to assess and publish progress against these targets and advise government on future targets including the 2035 target.
“Thirdly we will legislate a requirement for the minister for climate change to report annually to Parliament on progress in meeting our targets
“Finally as part of the consequential legislation we’ll insert the nation’s targets in the objectives and functions of a range of government agencies including ARENA, CFC infrastructure Australia and the NAIF.”

Hands up, who plans to invest in building a new factory or energy intensive business in Australia?
I’m not holding my breath waiting for the announcement of an actual plan of how to achieve these emissions targets, at least a plan which does not cause intolerable privation for ordinary Australians. Britain’s flirtation with energy rationing is evidence of what happens when a clueless green government pushes renewable energy policies.
Australia has already seen “voluntary” energy rationing, thanks to the sad state of our dispatchable energy systems. This is only set to get worse, under climate fanatics like Climate Minister Chris Bowen and Prime Minister Anthony Albanese, who have vowed a 43% emissions cut by 2030.
Federal Climate and Energy Minister Chris Bowen demonstrated his weak understanding of the issues, when he suggested we can cure renewable energy intermittency by storing electricity like water.
The only silver lining to this charade, will be the entertainment value of watching them continue to beg coal companies to produce more electricity, at least until the magic solar panels are ready.
The milk doesn’t always come from the cows but I can store some in my fridge. Pushing a failed agenda and not caring about his own people, what a smuck and a toadhead. Hey Bowen drill me some water wells please as I ran out of stored rain water , Oh thats right it doesn’t come from inside the Earth only the sky.
If successful, all plan life will expire since they are dependent on CO2
Having ‘Targets’ for things is fine. The damage occurs when the Socialists take their obsessions seriously and enact laws that force people to act in irrational ways that damage them and the environment..
Well, this is kinda expected.
Bowen has ALWAYS been an dribbling idiot.
Would be hilarious if the sign language interpreter started making hand motions, y’know, like a circle jerk, since that’s all this is.
The climate and energy minister, said in his speech, “that we got through last week without the need to shed load”. However I know of one large mining company in NSW that was asked to reduce their load between 5 and 8 pm. Both crushers (sag mills) were shut down for that period.
