"You came here for truths and straight talk, so, here's a doozy."

Standing on stage at the National Press Club — being beamed live into offices and lounge rooms across the country — one of Australia's top energy bosses was preparing to say what few in the industry will acknowledge publicly.

Jeff Dimery — CEO of Alinta Energy — looked up from his notes on the lectern and delivered the promised doozy to the audience.

"Australians will have to pay more for energy in future," he says.

"We need to be honest about that."

Honesty – and transparency – are features that have arguably been missing from an often ideologically driven and contorted debate about energy policy in this country.

It is justly so, for it is a main pillar in the edifice of your real independence, the support of your tranquility at home, your peace abroad; of your safety; of your prosperity; of that very liberty which you so highly prize. But as it is easy to foresee that, from different causes and from different quarters, much pains will be taken, many artifices employed to weaken in your minds the conviction of this truth.  George Washington - Farewell Address

Surely this isn't going to be true in the US? :whistle:
