@@InfinityIsland2203 So creating a fuel efficiency standard, investing in new renewable projects and incentivising businesses to invest in renewables as well as producing solar panels domestically are not good ways of reducing emissions?

That cost for nuclear is much more than wind and solar farms (with storage and transmission) if they last significantly longer than expected as you assume for nuclear.

We are being brought to our knees both economically and on a personal level meanwhile China is thumbing it's nose at the problem, perhaps we should tie our efforts to correspond with theirs. Our output is miniscule in comparison.
China is actually at 28.6% renewable energy, while Australia is only at 26.7%. We're also below the global average of 28.1%, and even Papua New Guinea is ahead of Australia at 40%.
@zen1647 True, but why is China still classed as a "developing" country? They also are responsible for 33% of total world CO2 emissions. Mostly because the rest of the world is happy to let them do all their manufacturing work.
how much of the atmosphere is C02 ? 421 millionths, ie 999,559 millionths is all the other gases. How much has C02 increased in the last 100 yrs ? 130 millionths .... what is the most abundant greenhouse gas ? water vapour ..... it varies by 20,000 to 40,000 millionths on a daily basis ....

Two trillion dollars will be spent on renewables in 2024, whilst only one trillion will be spend on fossil fuels. That gap in favour of renewables changed around 2020 and is not reversing and that gap will get wider every year in favour of renewables and battery storage. Why? Becuase its cheaper. ABC kind of stuff. Levelised costs of renewables gets cheaper every year. Renewables are dollar driven. Call it consumer greed if you like. others call it common sense.
Overall, the economics of renewables, coupled with their environmental benefits and technological advancements, are driving the transition away from fossil fuels and towards a cleaner, more sustainable energy future.
Maybe the LNP don't understand the meaning of "FINITE" fossil fuels? 😮 Temperature on earth in last 8 years have been the warmest on record, each becoming warmer. Sea ice is disappearing. Scientists want action to save the one tiny planet in the universe with known life on it. Better than ignoring the problem.
@@davidthrift7593It's blindingly obvious - people with solar panels and batteries are cleaning up with the savings. And the technology will get even better and cheaper in the future.
CO2 emissions have plummeted in California over recent years due to deployment of renewables. They are well ahead of their Paris schedule. If they can do it, why not others ? The California example demonstrates that ambitious climate action is not only achievable, but can also yield significant economic, environmental, and social benefits. The California example underscores the importance of bold policy action, technological innovation, and public-private collaboration in driving the transition to a sustainable energy future. By emulating California's approach and leveraging its lessons learned, other regions can accelerate their own efforts to combat climate change and reap the economic, environmental, and social benefits of renewable energy deployment.
People fleeing California play their part in it's total emissions reduction, they lost a Congressional seat recently due to population decline. California also enjoys much higher power prices than other states and frequent blackouts.
The next election is going to be about the economy.

The way the world is going, we’ll be all broke by 2030.
Good!!! He has my full support in doing so
The $12bn cost of a nuclear reactor is insignificant if they last for 80 years before needing to be replaced.
That cost for nuclear is much more than wind and solar farms (with storage and transmission) if they last significantly longer than expected as you assume for nuclear.
And do not need massive land clearing across the land to connect the solar and wind farms to the grid as it's already in place for nuclear.
Compact Rolls-Royce nuclear reactor's could replace coal fired power stations with much lower costs and use existing infrastructure!
Forget the Paris agreement it’s a lot of rubbish!!!!
Excellent Good News !

Dr Jennifer Rayner of Climate Council - Her PhD is in Political Science. Just what we need to solve our so called "climate emergency".
400ppm is not a climate emergency
@@lesnorton837 I was being sarcastic
Yes actually because reducing CO2 emissions enough to stop the climate from getting worse requires government intervention world wide.
