It may be acceptable for some of you Carney fans who act like teenage Taylor Swift fans that the Prime Minister lied to his own Minister, an opposition party leader, and a Premier to pass a budget / confidence vote but for anyone who takes democracy seriously this should be a line in the sand.

Producing electricity is about basic economics. The end user doesn't care how the electricity is created but they sure care about what it costs.
The Indian state of Rajasthan produces more solar than any other. It has rejected a 3.2 GW coal power plant, because the bids to build it were more expensive than bundling renewables with batteries.
