The Federal Government has set a target for 82 per cent of Australia’s energy to come from renewables by 2030, with an estimated cost of $120 billion. 

Ben Fordham challenged the idea, reminding listeners that Australia is moving away from the nation’s strongest advantage, coal and gas.

In the last 24 hours, 75 per cent of Australian energy sources came from coal-fired power.

“It’s going to take a miracle for us to win and reach our energy targets,” Ben Fordham said on air this morning.
