Fossil fuels are always the ‘solution’ to energy challenges: Rowan Dean

Sky News host Rowan Dean pokes fun at the potential plan to use EVs as a way to power the grid.
Mr Dean told Sky News host Andrew Bolt that there needs to be a diesel generator to power the EVs for it to work.
“The solution always comes back to fossil fuels.”

That is because fossil fuels actually work.

[@bettymarshall2702]

We want nuclear, coal, gas and rooftop solar. GET RID OF THE REST.

I am from Canberra and technically an academic as well. I agree with Rowan's statements about Canberra.

Fossil fuels have been providing us with cheap reliable power for decades.

[@sebastianfischer2082]

Good luck with that in another few decades... Oh wait that isn't you're problem? Then get the fuck out of the conversation.

[@MaverickSeventySeven]

Is it beyond the WIT of Scientists to DEVELOP CLEAN EMMISIONS FROM FOSSIL FUEL!!!!??

[@sebastianfischer2082]

Well it's clearly beyond yours to not fall for blatant Propaganda...

[@gregwooldridge8864]

We are so fucked.

[@frua97]

Let people use their EV's as a UPS backup for their homes during a blackout, but stealing from others is a crime.

Reducing the life (and value) of YOUR battery ..

[@russellcullen9913]

but oil is not a fossil fuel

[@paldridg]

Wrong…oil is decomposed carbon based from organisms

@@paldridg wrong. youtube Colonel Prouty explains the use of the term fossil fuel.

[@paldridg]

I disagree the OED definition clearly makes oil a fossil fuel. Not the opinion of some random US colonel.

@@paldridg stay ignorant then
