ScienceCSIRO report rejects claims that abandoning net zero would cut power prices

A new CSIRO report contradicts claims by Australia’s Coalition and One Nation that abandoning the net zero climate target would reduce electricity prices. The annual GenCost assessment says generation costs are likely to rise after 2030 regardless of the country’s net zero policy. Prices are then expected to stabilise below the recent spikes. The report also finds that nuclear power would be the most expensive way to generate electricity.
