Sussan Ley doesn't sound extremist. She sounds empathetic

Contributing sentiments towards policy:

56% : He must know the universal fear, in Australia and overseas, is that blackouts are more likely when the grid relies solar and wind power -- blackouts few Australians experienced under coal-fuelled economy.
43% : Not even Michelle Grattan, the press gallery's most-experienced journalist, believes the Government Australia can eliminate carbon dioxide emissions by 2050.
41% : Last year NSW agreed to cover any of Origin Energy's losses for keeping its Eraring coal-fired power plant open longer. Which blunted NSW Premier Chris Minns' confusing argument on Friday that not relying on renewable energy is similar to using candles during blackouts.
32% : Australia's contribution to the problem is tiny, though, at 1 per cent, which makes it hard to take seriously the criticism from Amanda McKenzie, the chief executive of the Climate Council, a lobby group for renewable energy, that Ms Ley is going to be responsible for natural disasters.
28% : Her emergence as a fossil fuel fan and sudden disdain for the United Nations climate bureaucracy demonstrates how climate sceptics such as Senator Matt Canavan have won the energy debate within the Coalition.
