This BZE Radio episode was broadcast on Monday 23rd October 2017 “Every parrot in the pet shop is talking about Energy Policy” ACCCBut for a summit , a lot of voices were absent. Big Wind, Big Solar and the growing movement of citizens, intellectuals and NGO’s demanding the rapid energy descent away from coal oil and gas. The chiefs who supply us with over 80% of our dirty energy were there as the clean energy target was swallowed up and the National Energy Guarantee emerged.The NEG requires Energy Retailers to give a guarantee of reliability. They will need to contract or own a certain amount of dispatchable power. As more coal fired power stations close, this could mean they invest in pumped hydro storage , batteries or gas turbines. In a heatwave when all the air conditioners go on, pumped hydro storage can turn on in 20 seconds and batteries in 1 second, according to Professor Andrew Blakers ANU.  He says 20 or 30 of the 22,000 possible sites need to be developed for pumped hydro storage and they can be built quickly, but none of this was discussed at the summit.The NEG also requires retailers to guarantee electricity with a set level of emissions intensity. The amount will be reduced each year. The emissions from gas were hardly mentioned. Does this mean the responsibility for our Paris Commitments is in the hands of retailers?Many of the people we interview say that we need a carbon tax to cut emissions in every sector and it was clear at the summit that even business leaders who had opposed this in the past were now demanding any sort of policy framework as long as it could survive short term governments. Mark Butler said  “At the end of the day companies will start contracting and trading with each other and a price will emerge on that which reflects the carbon obligation”.Comments that the RET was a subsidy to renewables ,that all subsidies are out and we now have a level playing field might bamboozle some people. But until all subsidies to fossil fuels are removed and Dr Finkel’s recommendation that we have an Economy Wide Plan by 2020 to map out the energy descent away from fossils, we are expected to trust to the market.We hear fromChief Scientist Dr Allan Finkel Environment and Energy Minister Josh Frydenberg Opposition leader Bill Shorten ACOSS head Cassandra Goldie National Farmers Federation  leader Fiona Simpson. Further Reading:https://reneweconomy.com.au/kidston-pumped-hydro-storage-capacity-boosted-25-24533/ http://reneweconomy.com.au/investor-confidence-could-be-smashed-without-additional-detail-62884/   22 Oct 2017|Categories: Community Show

Speakers: Andrew Leigh, Cassandra Goldie, Sue Richardson, Cassandra WilkinsonAustralia was, and remains, less unequal than other western nations. But since the eighties, income and asset ownership have become steadily more concentrated. Despite this, serious public discussion about the growing inequality of income and opportunity has barely begun. In this discussion, four experts - Dr Andrew Leigh MHR, Federal Shadow Assistant Treasurer; Cassandra Goldie, CEO of ACOSS; Sue Richardson, Principal Research Fellow at the National Institute of Labour Studies; and Cassandra Wilkinson from the Centre for Independent Studies - discuss how inequality is impacting on our lives, our economy and our society - and the leadership we need for a fairer Australia.
