Net Zero is Robbing Your Wallet

The claim that solar and wind energy are cheaper because the wind and sun are free is not supported by the evidence. In reality, adding more solar and wind to the grid increases electricity costs. The reason is straightforward: while the wind and sun are free, the infrastructure—wind turbines, solar panels, backup batteries, 15,000 kilometers of extra transmission lines, and access roads—is very expensive to produce, transport, install, and maintain.

Unlike modern coal or nuclear power plants that last 60 years, solar panels, wind turbines and backup batteries only last 15 years. The $1.9 trillion investment will only get us to 2050. After that, every 15 years, solar and wind infrastructure will need to be replaced at a cost of hundreds of billions more.

This madness must end!

One Nation will abolish the federal department of climate change along with all related agencies and programs, including net zero measures and mandates.

This will return $30 billion a year to the Treasury, contributing to One Nation's pledge to reduce $80 billion plus in government spending in our first term.

More importantly, it will put billions of dollars back into the pockets of Australians and businesses, making everything more affordable. That's how we solve the cost-of-living crisis.

It's time to end the net zero scam. One Nation will make it happen.
