Fresh Economic ThinkingFET #50: Mark Diesendorf on why a renewables grid is economicalA few weeks back, I had engineer Ben Beattie on the podcast to explain some of the unappreciated costs of transitioning to a renewable electricity grid. Before this, Aidan Morrison had explained how many of the costs required to deal with variation in when and where energy is produced from wind and solar were excluded from the (in)famous GenCost report from the CSIRO. Today, Professor Mark Diesendorf, who has studied the electricity grid and energy markets for many decades, provides the counterargument to these claims and makes the case that renewables will be cheaper...2025-02-101h 42
Fresh Economic ThinkingFET #49: Explaining rental inflationIn a recent FET article, I explained how the rental market adjusts to inflation arising in non-housing goods and services.

This is the opposite of what many people might expect. Some might think that if goods and services have risen in price then households have less left over...2025-01-2730 min
Fresh Economic ThinkingFET #48: The "cheap renewables grid" myth with Ben BeattieElectrical engineer Ben Beattie runs The Baseload Podcast, providing “common sense and unfiltered commentary” on Australia’s energy sector.

To know if the costs of the planned energy transition path make sense given the benefits, we at a bare minimum need to know the true costs.

With Dr Cameron Murray | Nucleus Investment InsightsOur attention turns this week to what is most Australian's second biggest asset, Superannuation. Super means a lot things to every Australian.

For others it is an annoying, mandated deduction of their hard earned wages, robbing them of current opportunities and lifestyle.
