by JURIS LAUCIS – ENERGY Minister Chris Bowen is on course to break the record he has already set as Australia’s most incompetent government minister.
During his tenure as Minister for Immigration, between 2010 and 2013, Australia was awash with illegal immigrants in unprecedented numbers.
- It’s time for Labor to break free of its fear-engendered intransigence.
- Today there are over 400 nuclear reactors situated in 30 countries.
- Bowen should put a moratorium on renewables and give technology a chance to catch up.
In his current role, however, in just a few weeks Bowen has spent $2m on a rash of consultancy fees on the energy market and compliance with the Paris Agreement.
All this, while energy prices soar into the stratosphere.
MINDLESS
Mesmerised by the delusion that subsidised renewables are the cheapest form of energy, and that sustainability and reliability can be maintained by a mindless proliferation of renewables, our valiant climate warrior, having torn from his dictionary the page containing “baseload energy”, throws money like confetti.
Forget the toy batteries installed by South Australia. Let’s put a moratorium on renewables and give technology a chance to catch up with a feasible energy storage solution that can overcome the vagaries of wind and solar.
Better still, let’s start a dialogue about the cheapest and cleanest energy already available, dare I say the word, nuclear?
In Australia, nuclear is still regarded as something new and far too dangerous; not so as far as the rest of the world is concerned.
REACTORS
Today there are over 400 nuclear reactors situated in 30 countries throughout the world, with more on the way.
Development of cheap small nuclear reactors is well under way.
Following the Fukushima disaster in 2011, Germany, in a knee jerk reaction, planned to close two nuclear plants, but has now extended their lifespan, egged on by, believe it or not, climate zealotette Greta Thunberg.
It’s time to overcome fear and put Chernobyl in proper context as an isolated incident occurring in an antiquated communist era facility and Fukushima, a disaster due to a geographically unsuitable location.
It’s time for Labor to break free of its fear-engendered intransigence and enter the emerging nuclear debate, which must inevitably lead to the demise of the climate change nonsense, now being pursued to the economic degradation of our economy.PC
Bowen is the double whammy: arrogant and ideological about non-existent climate change and renewables and bog ignorant and resistant to reality. EVERYTHING he and his commie government are proposing with energy has been tried overseas and sent every country it was tried into economic ruin.
The only energy sources which can carry a modern grid are fossils, nuclear and in limited circumstances, hydro. Wind and solar are a sick joke: they do not work, will never work and those who persist in inflicting them on a once prosperous nation, should, in a just world, be facing jail time.
It’s not a just world though.
Bowen served on the Fairfield City Council from 1995 to 2004, including a term as mayor, fellow Labor Councillor Phong Ngo a migrant from Vietnam recruited into what media described as “ethnic branch stacking” of Labor branches decided that he would like to become the Labor State MLA for the electorate but when the sitting MLA John Newman refused to resign he was murdered, Phong Ngo was found guilty of arranging for the murder to be carried out and sentenced to a long term in gaol. While he was held awaiting trail at Silverwater Remand Centre Fairfield Council continued to pay his remuneration.
While he was a prisoner at Long Bay Gaol he organised Chinese New Year parties inside the gaol and media at the time reported over one hundred guests attended from outside, many or most Labor members. The Labor Minister for Corrective Services denied having any knowledge of the parties held inside Long Bay Gaol. The caterers were a well know Chinese Restaurant.

Saturday Daily Telegraph, journalist Vikki Campion: Bowen missed chance to hear from experts.
“So when eminent engineers and nuclear scientists, with a combined 500 years of real-life international experience at the top level of complex power systems and an alphabet of letters after their names, wouldn’t you think government MPs would want to listen to these people? Apparently Energy and Climate Change Minister Chris Bowen – a former Fairfield councillor and political adviser – knows more about powering the largest grid on Earth than they do.”
“The Teals must believe they are satisfied with their enlightenment and required no further knowledge, as they also failed to attend the two-day Power Generation in Australia’s Clean Energy Future conference featuring engineers who have worked on the most complex systems on Earth.”
“They should have heard the warning that we are betting the entire Australian economy on a net-zero scheme that cannot work, on renewable systems that are not significantly reducing emissions and that the actual cost of renewables to 2050 to us is an estimated $1.2 trillion.”
The article is worth reading and covers the vast areas of land required and every 15 and 20 years replacement of batteries and wind-solar installations on average. And then we have to bury them mostly as rubbish.
The fires generation of renewable capital at $383 billion.
According to engineer Dr David Hayden Collins using AEMO figures.
I hope voters are aware that Albanese Labor are about to allow the up to 30,000 illegal immigrants who remain in Australia on temporary protection visa to become permanent residents and to participate in family reunion. They are the Rudd-Gillard “boat people” who were brought into Australia ignoring the Howard Government Pacific Solution deterrent regulations including offshore processing. Chris Bowen must be pleased.
Bowen is a treacherous dope. He’s the last person on earth you’d want to defend a trench with.
