‘Black coal wins': CSIRO report reveals the cheapest form of power
'It's very clear that black coal wins; it is cheaper than all of the 60, 70, 80, 90 per cent variable renewable energy shares,' Ms Hilton told Sky News host Andrew Bolt.
'When you look at the midpoints of those ranges as well, coal is cheaper than 90 per cent wind and solar when it is integrated into the grid.
'That's very important because 90 per cent wind and solar is what we are building.'

Socialist wildly claims there is ‘no need' for the housing market
Victorian Socialists' Jordan Van Den Lamb joined Sky News host Freya Leach to analyse the great housing debate raging through the country. 'It's pretty clear your main concern is how people would make profit instead of, oh, it is a way to stop 10,000 people experiencing homelessness every month in Australia,' Mr Van Den Lamb told Sky News host Freya Leach. 'Yeah, we just do not need markets for human need … if a market is an efficient way of distributing something, then why do we have more than 100,000 empty properties in the Melbourne metropolitan area alone, while we have 30,000 approximately in the entire state of Victoria experiencing homelessness.'
