Albanese government’s clean energy ambitions slammed as ‘hideously expensive’

Sky News host Caleb Bond says the clean energy and emissions reduction projects being built in Australia will be “hideously expensive”. Former competition tsar Rod Sims says embracing an ad hoc “Made in Australia” approach to net zero transition by 2050 could “destroy” Australia’s chances of becoming a clean energy superpower. “I wonder why that might be” Mr Bond said. “Probably because the stuff that we will make here in Australia will be hideously expensive and no-one will want to pay for it. “We will have spent all that time and money trying to build this stuff that ultimately won’t get used.”
