What Tony Abbott just doesn't understand about renewable energy

Former prime minister Tony Abbott appears
 to be missing the point on climate change
 and the use of renewable energy. 

"In short," my friend Tony Abbott said this week, as he lined up Malcolm Turnbull for the umpteenth time, "why not say to the people of Australia: we'll cut the [Renewable Energy Target] to help with your power bills?”

Can I go first, Tony?

Could it be, the reason you don't say that to the people of Australia is because no one who is serious doubts that the dangers of climate change are real? Could it be that all those who are serious and in power, know that to limit the damage, they must follow the lead of responsible governments around the world who are seriously switching to renewable energy, and getting serious about limiting emissions?
