Renewables being the ‘cheapest form’ of energy is a ‘perpetual lie’ [Video]

Former speaker of the House Bronwyn Bishop says renewables being paraded as the “cheapest form” of energy is a “perpetual lie”.

Ms Bishop joined Sky News host Paul Murray to discuss the government’s continued push for renewable energy.

“I have said all along right from when I was still in the parliament arguing against these policies that the cost of electricity is – what it costs to get it from the generator, from the point of generation to your house or your business,” she said.

“That’s the cost.

“The real question that should be put to people in a poll is – do you want cheap, reliable electricity that comes from coal until we get nuclear? Or do you want expensive, unreliable electricity that comes from destroying forests, sea beds and productive land?”
