While this blog may have languished over the last few years, the same can be said about the environment and renewable energy state of play in Australia. We still have the same fossil fuel loving politicians in power!
Yesterday the Prime Minister, Scott Morrison, talked about the need for job creation and gas fired power plants. It's the same old BS - pander to the fossil fuel industry and peddle gas instead of coal. Peddle jobs instead of jobs that are environmentally sustainable. He's even thinking of making the Federal Government pay for this instead of allowing AGL, owner of the Riddell Power plant that is closing, to make their own plans for adding extra generation capability.
The NSW State Government announced a huge Renewable Energy Generation and the Clean Energy Council has a great map of investment as of August 2020.
So will this threat for intervention in the market turn out to expose the Australian Public to risks of being a stranded asset? Time will tell.
I can't wait for someone to take Scott Morrison and the Federal Government to court regarding Climate Change.
Meanwhile after the huge loss of habitat with our unprecedented fires in January, California is also experiencing huge unprecedented firestorms. Along with unprecedented costs due to a Global Pandemic do you think the planet is trying to tell us something?
What else will be unprecedented this year?
