The science fiction of which the Leader of the Opposition spoke is surely his own approach to energy: solar panels that work at night, windmills that blow when the wind drops and the ability to force feed unbacked up renewable energy into the grid without creating unreliability. We know how that movie ends. It's South Australia; it's blackouts. It's unreliable and the most expensive electricity in Australia. Australians deserve better. That's why we're relying on the Energy Security Board and the prospect they have delivered of a clear energy policy with lower prices, affordability, reliability and responsibility.
