The War on Gas is in full swing in Australia and The Guardian is loving it:
Gas connections will be banned in new homes and government buildings built in Victoria from next year.
The announcement has been backed by environmental groups and the property and construction sectors but the opposition has warned the change could increase household energy bills fuelled by higher demand for electricity.
The Victorian government announced the major energy reform on Friday as part of its plan to reach net zero emissions in the state by 2045.
The government estimates the change will save households up to $1,000 on their annual energy bills – or $2,200 if they have solar installed – and reduce emissions.
That last bit is hilarious, given electricity prices have gone up over 30% just this year alone, Australia flatly refuses to embrace nuclear (despite having the largest Uranium reserves in the world) and is shutting down its electricity generation capacity quicker than Dan Andrews can say “lockdown”.
The Climate Madness continues.
