The brutal climate alarmist policies championed by the World Economic Forum and implemented by the Dutch Government that threaten to destroy the livelihoods of so many Dutch farmers are exactly what was warned about and why we forced the Senate to vote on boycotting WEF events back in 2020.

Only a couple of ministers voted in favour of boycotting WEF events and opposing their great reset agenda.

Every single other political party or independent failed to oppose the WEF by supporting the motion.

Incredibly, every attempt has made to reduce the toxic influence globalist organisations like the WEF have on Australia has been blocked by an alliance of Labor, Liberal, National, Greens and crossbench politicians.

It seems blindly supporting and implementing the policies of the WEF, United Nations and other globalist organisations is the only thing that these parties can agree on.

Be warned, like we are currently seeing in the Netherlands, so long as we continue down this path of implementing savage emission cuts the jobs of Australian farmers and jobs in many other industries will all be sacrificed at the altar of climate alarmism.

What sounds like a good idea can often turn out to be anything but.

Hydrogen may well be a fuel of the future.

The new Labor government in South Australia certainly thinks so, committing almost $600 million for a hydrogen plant in Whyalla.

The government says excess renewable energy can be used to produce hydrogen from water, which can then be stored to use when the wind doesn’t blow and the sun doesn’t shine – like a battery. They claim it will lower generation costs by 8%.

It sounds good but as usual, Labor hasn’t done the homework in its ideological rush to renewables.

No business case has been released, and it’s not unreasonable to speculate it’s because producing hydrogen from water costs twice as much as making it from coal, and four times as much as making it from natural gas.

In addition, South Australia already has natural reserves of hydrogen on the Eyre and Yorke peninsulas, and Kangaroo Island.

Some companies are already securing permits to sell it, again at about a quarter the cost of hydrogen produced from water.

This will make Labor’s plant at Whyalla a $600 million white elephant, able to only sell hydrogen at four times the price of its competitors.

Labor obviously hasn’t learned a thing after building a $1.8 billion desalination plant we don’t use because the water is too expensive.
