The Liberal Government’s latest attempt to get a Tasmanian hydrogen industry up and running is nothing more than hot air and delusion from learner Energy Minister Nick Duigan.
There is no power available for new hydrogen projects.
This simple fact has led to Fortescue Future Industries, Woodside and Origin all suspending their operations and walking away from the state.
No new scheme will overcome the lack of power – the only answer is new renewable generation capacity.
After 10 years of a Liberal Government Tasmania is running out of energy and business and industry can’t grow without it.
A Labor government will make resolving the challenges facing windfarm projects in this state a priority so we can support the future growth of our major industries.
