Prime Minister Malcolm Turnbull has lashed out at South Australia's bold energy plan, labelling it an experiment that illustrates "ideology and idiocy". Speaking on Saturday, Turnbull told the annual meeting of the SA Liberal Party the state Labor plan was based on dogma and poorly considered. "Idiocy is just as important as ideology," Turnbull told party faithful in Adelaide. Under the SA Government's $550 million plan, the state will witness the build of the world's largest battery to store renewable energy. The government will also roll out incentives to boost gas-fired power generation and install two more state owned generators.
