The Albanese Government

Bob you've clearly and one presumes deliberately misrepresented Albanese.

Prime Minister Anthony Albanese has stood by a promise to cut the power bills of Australians through investment in renewable energy as soaring energy prices add cost-of-living pressure to household budgets.

It comes as an

Australian Competition and Consumer Commission (ACCC) report

put the gas industry on notice over rising energy prices and supply shortages, finding the outlook for the east coast gas market has "significantly worsened".

There's clearly a time lag between the initial investment in renewable energy sources and the ultimate downstream savings.

Back in March Dan Andrews announced that Victorian industry will get a major boost from affordable and reliable offshore wind energy after Premier Daniel Andrews outlined ambitious targets at that time. The Premier said the state will build 2GW of offshore wind by 2028, 4GW by 2035, and 9GW by 2040.

“Offshore wind means onshore jobs. Every job created in offshore wind creates another eight onshore jobs. It’s not just the construction phase of offshore wind farms – which is thousands of jobs on its own – but also the onshore manufacturing of blades, turbines and towers.

“Turbine manufacture is labour intensive, requiring 150 people to make the main components for a 100 MW wind farm. Large turbine manufacturers prefer to make components locally once a market reaches sufficient size. This announcement is an opportunity to establish a strong and competitive offshore wind component-manufacturing sector in Victoria – especially in industrial centres such as the Latrobe Valley and Geelong. Manufacturing will boost the economy in many other sectors.

“Offshore wind will also help revitalise Victoria’s manufacturing sector by providing the energy needed to turbocharge regional manufacturing, producing green steel and aluminium, hydrogen and ammonia, and batteries and critical minerals. Our research shows that Australia could generate $333 billion in green exports by 2050.

Well today Chris Bowen, the Minister for Climate change and Energy, has taken up Dan's cudgel and has come lavishly promoting the concept. Where has Bowen been since March ?

Not at all, "ultimately reducing power bills through investment on renewables " is a rather vague statement. When will that be November 2022, July 2023 , August 2024 , when ?

I've got a suggestion, Bob.

Turn off your internet. That will save some power.

Also, move to a warmer state...then you won't have to put up with Dreadful Dan.,,and can save on heating.

I haven't noticed anything dramatic with my power bill.
