A calm discussion comparing the status of energy provision in Australia with the state that pertains in the UK and Europe.
The discussion may be calm but the upcoming consequences of the current political trajectories may be a very long way from calm.
The northern hemisphere has been subjected to what we might call accelerated shock in terms of energy supply (due to the sanctions in support of the Ukraine) which has had some effect in concentrating minds.
" ... they are telling the armed forces to decarbonise ... "
How are matters likely to unfold in the future?
As usual, the issue is dominated by the politics, but might the market respond and save the day?
Maybe not, but perhaps we can buy our energy from overseas ... ?
This doesn't seem to be about to end well any time soon, or even not soon.
"Where is this coming from, this green cult?"
" ... we haven't really been achieving anything, and for 12 of those 13 years nobody wanted to listen anyway ... "
Will they listen when the lights go out? Only as long as their lap-top/phone battery & wi-fi connection lasts ...
Nevertheless, overall, a very informative discussion.
