Distorting a free market for idealogical reasons ALWAYS backfires, no matter how well-intentioned it may have been.
An unfortunate little lesson from history that the greens and ALP repeatedly ignore.
This is no different, it will just take a little longer than most previous examples.
Wind farms and solar also ultimately fail for another reason - the actual energy density per square kilometre than can be harvested has been grossly overstated in most analyses. The real results achieved fall well short.
And there still remains the problem that these do nothing to see the problem of meeting peak demand for electricity on cold winter nights with neither wind nor sun, or on hot summer days with no wind. Blackouts in extreme conditions will be regular, if the greens are allowed to dictate energy policy.
