How Green is my country?

The Australian Greens have come up with a policy platform to give young Australians free university or vocational education, a guaranteed job working on nation building projects, such as transitioning the Australian economy to 100 per cent renewable energy, building thousands of units of social housing, and giving every citizen a guaranteed basic income. Instead of bagging out the Greens for what I see as their hypocritical grandstanding as the conscience of the nation, I want to be more gracious this time, and briefly ask some open questions about these policies. 

While these measures may appeal to some voters, the question is, is any of this feasible? Beyond the motherhood statements in these policies, how do we find the money to pay for them all, especially when the economic situation is already uncertain? How much will it cost to provide free university or vocational education, without requiring the student to pay anything towards their education? As much as it would be great to look after every citizen, because alleviating poverty and housing insecurity are both laudable goals, shouldn't such government assistance be means tested? I am not across the science and economics of renewable energy compared to fossil fuels, but has the technology matured to the point where it can completely replace baseload power?

I invite the reader of this blog to answer my questions, if they feel so inclined.
