In this clip, Aidan Morrison breaks down how billions in subsidies and regulatory mandates are enriching corporate insiders and foreign capital while consumers foot the bill.

Aidan Morrison is a leading researcher into Energy Systems and currently the Director of Energy Research at the Centre for Independent Studies. In 2023 he exposed how the famous CSIRO report “GenCost” excluded vast costs required to integrate and firm renewables by treating them as “sunk” costs.
