Description

The government and the opposition have been fighting over power strategies for months now; just about assaulting us with a flurry of numbers and claims over which method will lead to cheaper household bills.

Today, business reporter Nick Toscano, and climate and energy reporter Mike Foley, help us wade through the spin, to tell us which energy plan is best: for both us, and the environment.
