Why are your energy bills so bloody high? Is it renewables, as the Coalition and fossil media claim? No. In this episode of The West Report, Michael follows the money through the entire grid, from generators to gentailers, to show that the real culprits are soaring coal and gas prices and corporate profiteering, not renewables. 
We pull live data from the national electricity market to show how cheap rooftop solar and utility solar really are compared with coal and gas, and why renewables are already making up around half the grid while your bill still keeps climbing. Michael breaks down how privatisation created layer after layer of middlemen, why AGL, Origin and EnergyAustralia are raking it in, and how both major parties have let fossil fuel donors write the rules.
Renewable energy hits half the grid as Coalition scaremongering hits overdrive
