SKY News political contributor Chris Uhlmann will present a new documentary The Real Cost of Net Zero in November.
The documentary looks at the detail behind Australia’s ambitious energy transition goals and follows a bombshell admission by the national energy regulator that it cannot guarantee the Albanese Labor Government’s renewables energy plan will lower prices as promised.
Uhlmann speaks to local and international experts in the renewables field to unpack the real cost of achieving 82% renewable electricity by 2030 and net-zero emissions by 2050, and just who will bear it.
Chris Uhlmann said: “The wind and sun might come free but turning it into electricity doesn’t. In The Real Cost of Net Zero we will show why putting more weather dependent generation on the grid will add up to higher power prices, and less reliability of supply. The march to net zero will come at a real cost, to industry and households, and it looks like the poor will be hardest hit. This is not an ideological position, but a fact-based conclusion based on science and economics.”
Tuesday 19 November at 8.00pm AEDT on SKY News.
