Are Renewables Really Driving Energy Prices? | The West Report
Why are your energy bills so high? Is it renewable as the coalition and fossil media claim? No. In this episode of The West Report, Michael tracks the money across the grid, from generators to plumbers, to show that rising coal and gas prices and corporate profiteering, not renewables, are the real culprits. 
We pull live data from the national electricity market to show how cheap rooftop solar and grid solar actually are compared to coal and gas, and why renewables already make up nearly half the grid while your bill is still rising. Michael explains how privatization creates layers of middlemen, why AGL, Origin and EnergyAustralia are involved, and how both major parties are letting fossil fuel donors write the rules.
Renewables hit half the grid as coalition fear-mongering goes into overdrive
