Sky News host Chris Kenny says renewables “can’t power” the Australian economy.
Alinta Energy Chief Executive Jeff Dimery said at the National Press Club on Wednesday that Australians will have to pay more for energy in the future as the country transitions to renewables.
“You’re trying to use it now – you’re shutting down all of the coal-fired and gas-fired power now.
“We’re short on electricity, and guess what?
“Renewables can’t power our economy.”
