The totally stupid federal Lieberal resources minister of Turnbull's, Josh Frydenberg, has been interviewd in the telly this morning. He has come out parroting Team Abbott's line that the Carmichael coal mine planned for QLD to be built by Adani, has a "moral" imperative on it, to pull people in India out of energy poverty.
Oh FFS! I just don't know where to begin! What stupidity! What ignorance! What blindness! What a complete fuckwit!
Doesn't he, as resources minister, see what's happening with renewables around the world, and conversely what's happening to coal? This is right up there with Abbott's "coal is good for humanity" bullshit.
Well, looks to me like nothing's changed under Turnbull here either. Seems to me Team Abbott is alive and well in the gov. Honestly, this is text book Abbott.
Probably the worst thing about it is that he uses those with HIV to lever his so called "moral" argument. Utterly appalling. Leave me out of you're bullshit you fuckwit!
Interviewed on ABC's Insiders program, Mr Frydenberg said two billion people in the world were still burning wood and dung for cooking and that 4.3 million people died early as a direct result.Where the hells is he getting his figures from? That 75% of new energy demand would come from coal? He's fuckin dreaming. In la la land. Not fit to be resources minister.
"That's more people dying through those sort of inefficient forms of energy than from malaria, from tuberculosis and HIV AIDS all combined," he said.
"I think there is a strong moral case here."
He said energy demand would increase by a third by 2040 and 75 per cent of that demand would come from fossil fuels.
But Greens deputy leader Larissa Waters said there was a moral case for helping nations like India develop renewable energy.
"Four out of five people without electricity in India are not connected to an electricity grid so can't access coal-fired power," she said.
"Building electricity grids is slow and expensive and the much cheaper, healthier solution is localised renewable energy. There's a strong moral case for Australia to help develop the renewable energy technology that will safely provide people in developing countries with power.
"Burning coal causes local health impacts, with millions of premature deaths from air pollution a year, and pollutes local water supplies."
Mr Hunt's approval last week cleared a major regulatory hurdle but the mine's viability remains uncertain due to the slumping coal price and issues around financing the project. sydneymorningherald
