Senator Leyonhjelm takes aim at decades of government penalties, threats and bans against fossil fuels and nuclear power, that have caused the current energy crisis. He argues why the Renewable Energy Target must abolished, the need of a guarantee against future carbon pricing for investors in new coal-fired power stations, lifting of the ban against nuclear power and removal of the GST on electricity to provide relief to Australian households in the immediate term. Electricity price spikes and blackouts are not just inconvenient, they are job-destroying and life-threatening.
