Australia - Comparing Power Generation Costs


Exactly!  These figures are unchecked but my own investigation showed that when just 10% of our energy is green sourced it will have doubled the price to the helpless consumer. Apart from many buildings being eyesores with panels mounted on them they achieve nothing towards our energy shortfall in non daylight hours. 

A few, brief, but interesting details on Energy, from Australia!   Deja vu...and presumed correct!


  Compare Power Generation Costs…..
  
 
Here are the statistics on the cost of power generation in 2010 from the  Australian Government’s own Productivity Commission:
 
 Coal fired power station $79 per kw/h (kilowatt/hour).
 
 Gas fired power station $97 per kw/h – or 1.2 times the cost of coal power.
 
 Wind farm power $1,502 per kw/h – or 19 (nineteen) times the cost of coal power.
 
 Solar power $4,004 per kw/h – or 50 (fifty) times the cost of coal power.
 
 I wonder why these stats are not in the recent Carbon Tax Government brochure? 
 
They are certain to warm the hearts of those who pay electricity bills!
Yep, labour/Green/Independents you're a brilliant lot; putting your own GREED before your loyalty to your own countrymen, women, and children.
