Energy Transition Masquerade: The $360 Billion You Pay

Australians spend millions on solar panels and batteries for their homes every year, subsidised by federal and state governments. But imagine if Australia’s blueprint for the energy transition treated all those solar panels and home batteries as completely free? That is exactly what’s happening under the hood of Australia’s energy transition plan. Watch the video to find out how the official modelling hides $360 billion in rooftop solar and home battery costs that consumers will have to pay.
~Quick maths~
All solar and battery cost estimates are sourced from CSIRO’s GenCost 2023-24 Consultation Draft.
Calculations for utility-scale storage and solar:
Shallow Storage: Average of 1-2 hour battery prices = (1009 + 731)/2 = $870/kWh
$870/kWh x 8 GWh = $7 billion
Medium Storage: Average of 4, 8 and 12 hour battery prices = (592 + 519 + 478)/3 = $530/kWh
$530/kWh x 28 GWh = $15 billion
Deep Storage: 24 hour battery price = $427/kWh
$427/kWh x 51 GWh = $22 billion
Utility-scale batteries total: $7 billion + $15 billion + $22 billion = $44 billion
Utility-scale solar: $1526/kW x 55 GW = $84 billion
Total = $44 billion + $84 billion = $128 billion”

They are assuming that electricity will be so ridiculously expensive that you'll happily pay for solar panels and willingly use your EV battery to offset the peak time cost. Trouble is many people can't afford their own home, solar panels and electric vehicles.

Charging an EV at home already takes all night to charge the battery, even for an average daily commute (REMEMBER that charging at night IS NOT from renewable energy sources)… so besides charging the EV battery from non-renewable sources, how do these companies think they can draw on consumers EV’s overnight and leave them with enough battery in the morning!?!? …and if a consumer has home batteries installed, why would they allow the retailer to drain them of self-made green energy overnight… only for a pittance of what they would otherwise pay for the same amount from the the grid!! The people who come up with this nonsense have absolutely no understanding or comprehension of the market.

They will once becomer even cheaper than it already is. Rentals have air conditioning/heating even though they don't generate any obvious value for them.

At least five major ice ages have occurred throughout Earth’s history: the earliest was over 2 billion years ago, and the most recent one began approximately 3 million years ago and continues today (yes, we live in an ice age!). Currently, we are in a warm interglacial that began about 11,000 years ago. The last period of glaciation, which is often informally called the “Ice Age,” peaked about 20,000 years ago. At that time, the world was on average probably about 10°F (5°C) colder than today, and locally as much as 40°F (22°C)

You do understand that @CISAus isn't "independent"? They're a signed up member of the Atlas Network, funded by the fossil energy industry and committed to a global disinformation campaign to disrupt and delay the transition to a low emission energy economy. They support and promote nuclear energy because its deployment rates are so slow that it won't pose a problem for fossil energy until late this century. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Atlas_Network "Atlas Network has been linked to oil and gas producers, and to efforts opposing initiatives by governments and activists on climate change." "Notable members of Atlas Network include think tanks such as ...; the Centre for Independent Studies in Australia ..." @CISAus has zero credibility on the energy transition issue.
