Peter Lang sent a complaint to the Australian Broadcasting Corporation (ABC) about last night’s 7:30 Report on solar power. Here is a slightly reworded versions with hyperlinks added:
“The ABC 7:30 report has improved greatly since Leigh Sales and Chris Uhlmann took over from Kerry O’Brien. However, there have been lapses. Last night’s 7:30 report on solar power was atrociously biased. ABC has been strongly biased towards renewable energy for over 20 years. Last night’s program was unbalanced, lacked objectivity and presented wrong and misleading information.
They interviewed two of the extreme renewable energy proponents in Australia (Matthew Wright and Tristan Edis) but did not provide balance by getting a competent person to explain the cost of renewable energy and what the costs do to the price of electricity (and therefore to Australia’s economy).
