‘Lack of a real plan': Labor's push for renewable energy is making us poorer
The Australian Associate Editor Graham Lloyd discusses Labor's push for renewable energy. 'The sobering thing is, large as that number is, that is only a tiny fraction of what is going to be required to deliver on what is being promised,' Mr Lloyd told Sky News host Danica De Giorgio. 'If there is a criticism … it's the lack of a real plan at the outset, and the lack of any cost benefit analysis that went with it.'

China is regarded as a ‘developing country' and has ‘no obligation' to cut CO2 emissions
Australian Associate Editor Graham Lloyd says China's emissions profile is so large that anything Australia can implement is 'immediately swallowed up.' 'The very core of those meetings is this ethic that there must be different treatment for developing and developed countries,' Mr Lloyd told Sky News host Danica De Giorgio. 'China is still regarded as a developing country, and therefore it has no obligation to cut its carbon dioxide emissions. 'The size of their economy and emissions profile is so great that anything that's done in Australia is immediately swallowed up.'

‘No surprise to anybody': $4b project delay another hit to government's green ambition
The Australian's Environment Editor Graham Lloyd has weighed in on the two-year delay for the $4 billion Victoria–New South Wales power project. VNI West, a 240-kilometre transmission line to connect Victoria and New South Wales, will be pushed back, which is a major hit to the nation's renewable energy goals. 'It should be no surprise to anybody,' Mr Lloyd told Sky News host Steve Price. 'It's another reminder that it's a lot easier to put these things down on paper than it is to produce them in reality.'
