When we talk about the future of the energy system, the truth is that the plan that is being promulgated by those opposite is for the most expensive form of energy that there is, to be delivered in more than a decade's time, well after it is required. Independent analysis suggests that that could add at least $1,200 to the average bill for a four-person household. It would deliver less than four per cent of the energy that we actually require. It won't be delivered until 2040, according to CSIRO, and it could cost $600 billion—a source of funding for which has yet to be provided by a coalition that is advocating for a scheme that is uncosted, unspecified and will occur on some unknown timetable.
