Senator Di Natale's either being misled or being misleading: 93.6 per cent of the ACT's energy generation comes from New South Wales, and the New South Wales grid includes over 70 per cent of coal and gas generation to keep the lights on. New South Wales is carrying the costs of the ACT's virtue. Not all jurisdictions have the luxury of being able to run an extension cord to another state's coal generation.
