A figure of total emissions for coal, oil, gas in Australia, showing coal has gone down consistency since about 2005, with oil and gas bouncing upwards. Total fossil co2 declining slightly in the last decade.
The National Party of Australia dumped its Net Zero policy as Australia is moving too fast, & faster than its peers in the OECD.
Well, fossil CO2 emissions in the last 10 years have gone down
* -0.5% per year in Australia
* -1.4% per year in the OECD
Australia is somewhat of a laggard...
While California is at the forefront of the battery storage revolution, this trend is now being adopted worldwide.
Global capacity projected to increase by 67% to 617GWh this year alone and is expected to grow tenfold by 2035. By 2027 massive increase in capacity is forecasted for major economies.
China ≠ just coal plants and solar exports. The deeper shift: electrifying everything it can. Strategic, because China relies on imported fossil fuels. Coal is still king in the power mix—for now. But the balance is changing year by year.
