Bowen’s homemade recipe for an energy debacle

Michael de Percy

Research output: Contribution to Newspaper/Magazine/Bulletin › Featured article

Abstract

Rewiring the nation won’t happen by rewriting history. Markets work best through light regulation and promoting competition. Government has a role to ensure important social outcomes where profits are scarce. But Labor’s energy transition is all about government control. Whether we agree with a government-led renewables future or not, one thing is clear: skills are not keeping up with demand. Australia is going it alone without nuclear, and Energy Minister Chris Bowen’s homemade recipe for an energy debacle is in full swing.
