Government ‘not making the progress’ it expected with renewables [Video]

The government is “not making the progress” it expected to see with the transition to renewable energy, says Centre for Independent Studies’ Aidan Morrison.

Mr Morrison’s remarks come after carbon emissions from electricity generation rose in the March quarter.

“It shows that the energy transition to try to rush in a whole bunch of renewable energy generators to our system is just slowing down,” he told Sky News Australia.

“We’re not on track currently to meet the targets.

“So, this is the first example of that slowing down and stalling of the transition really showing its head here.”
