Our electricity system is 'ageing, inefficent and unprepared'


Just today the Climate Council has reminded us that Australia is a serious “foot dragger” when it comes to electricity supplies.

The realities of climate change demand that we find some source other than coal to power our electricity generators, not only are our governments looking in the wrong direction, they are actively pursuing outmoded processes.

Australia has more sunshine than most countries making us the envy of the world and yet solar power is an idea, a technology that our governments are doing the utmost to avoid contemplating.

The Australian dilemma is clearly spelt out in a report from the Climate Commission headed: “Australia energy sector: ageing, inefficient and unprepared”.
