The Turnbull government is making sure that future decisions around energy generation are guided by engineering and economics—not by the type of ideology that those opposite like to play and not by the type of posture politics that many of the state governments like to play but by real, sensible investments, such as the Snowy 2.0 scheme. The scheme will add 2,000 megawatts and 350,000 megawatt hours of generation capacity a week—enough to power 500,000 homes.
