Tasmanian society should be made to wear their decisions. Let the electorate live under the consequences of the obstructionist, Marxist inspired, collectivist vision of the Greens and watch how rapidly the 'people' will drop the tree-hugging, pagan occultists at the next election.
Yesterday’s Inquirer piece (“Fighting to keep Tasmania’s lights on in energy crisis“, The Australian) overlooked the fact that the current Tasmanian energy crisis is the inevitable outcome of 30 years of green policies.
It is also the height of hypocrisy for people who have opposed investment in new coal, gas, hydro or nuclear power to now criticise electricity shortages.
For too long now, policymakers throughout the western world have used electricity networks to pursue political and environmental goals rather than simply supply affordable, reliable and safe power. In Australia, Europe and North America, investment in fossil fuel or nuclear generation has been discouraged, with preference given to wind, solar, or more interconnectors. The result has been the destruction of market price signals, higher costs, and decreased reliability. South Australia and Tasmania are now paying the price.
Instead of lobbying for another interconnector, the Tasmanian government should back self-reliance, bite the bullet, build a new power station, and send the bill to the Greens.
The same socialistic motivations as those ruling the Greens led Venezuela into the crisis it now 'enjoys'. What is their ultimate ambition for the citizens of Free Western countries? Allow the Venezuelan Minister of Education to elucidate:
A couple of years ago, the then minister of education admitted that the aim of the regime’s policies was “not to take the people out of poverty so they become middle class and then turn into escuálidos” (a derogatory term to denote opposition members). In other words, the government wanted grateful, dependent voters, not prosperous Venezuelans.
