ustralia procrastinates and prevaricates while others act.

Yes, Australia is caught in a coal conundrum – the country’s economy is inextricably linked to the coal industry and so with coal being the global warming villain, it’s imperative that we extricate ourselves from this dilemma.

While the Australian Government and a handful of others, primarily Canada, are blind to the alternatives, either knowingly or otherwise, others are acting, with the latest being France.

ClimateProgress reports that France will halve the country’s energy consumption by 2050, cut nuclear power production by a third by 2025 (from 75 percent of electricity mix to 50 percent), and increase renewable energy to 32 percent of total energy consumption by 2030.
