- In short: The Coalition says Labor will fail to meet the Paris Agreement emissions reductions target but will damage Australian industry in trying.
- Recent projections indicate Australia is not on track for the 2030 target, but could get close if existing policies are implemented as promised.
- What next? The Coalition is focusing on gas and nuclear power, which the Australian Conservation Foundation describes as a “fantasy which Australia does not need”.
It just seems dumb at this point. Nuclear energy is so incredibly expensive compared to the alternatives. Most countries are moving away from it due to it being commercially unviable. And yet here we are with the NLP acting like it’s the best thing since sliced bread.
I know they see it as their duty to push the opposite of whatever Labor’s doing but they don’t seem to care that it’s just a bad idea.
@zik @Psiczar they apparently think we’ll forget how many times they’ve canned the idea when in power. It is just a convenient lie.
This. It isn’t supposed to succeed, it’s supposed to drag on for decades eating up all the money that could have built renewables.
@zurohki *funnel all that money to their friends.
Their duty is to look after their donors
