Politicians love telling Australians that renewables are the cheapest form of energy, and none more than energy minister Chris Bowen. The source he cites is GenCost, the CSIRO’s annual report on generation technology cost estimates, which claims to be policy and technology-neutral. But is the CSIRO neutral when it comes to coal? Australia needs unbiased advice from our technical experts if we are to understand the costs of different levels of emissions reduction. Watch the video to see how we fix the CSIRO’s flawed assumptions about coal and show that coal, not renewables, is the cheapest form of new energy in Australia.
