"Australia could be a global leader in climate mitigation and
zero-carbon energy exports, and meet its domestic power demands “on the
side,” according to a new energy transition scenario that would take us
well beyond 100 per cent renewables, to a target of 200 per cent.

The reasoning is relatively simple. By producing far more electricity
than it needs – from mostly solar but also wind – Australia can become
an exporting superpower of clean energy. And having excess capacity
means fewer gaps in its domestic supply, and less need for back-up
facilities and so lower costs."

Share and enjoy,
