Forget EVs, the Coalition has a plan for nuclear-fuelled hydrogen cars – The Driven.
One of the more remarkable aspects of the federal Coalition’s policy positions on energy and technology is their out of hand rejection of technologies that do actually exist, and their apparent blind faith in things which haven’t been invented yet.
The Nationals Senator Ross Cadell provided a case in point last month when successfully moving a motion for a Senate inquiry into how consultations for offshore wind zones were conducted.
He made a couple of pretty outlandish statements. The first was that “battery technology is not evolving.” This is in line with Coalition leader Peter Dutton’s contention that they don’t actually exist in any useful form.
That of course is nonsense, and just the Tesla energy division has a valuation of more than $240 billion, making it worth more than any Australian listed company.
Then he went on to say another whopper.“They (Labor) want to talk about things that don’t exist. Show me a floating offshore substation anywhere in the world. I know those on the other side cannot show me, because it does not exist.”
