"Our modelling shows that renewable energy can help hit Australia’s
emissions reduction target of 26-28% below 2005 levels by 2030
effectively for free. This is because the cost of electricity from
new-build wind and solar will be cheaper than replacing old fossil fuel
generators with new ones."

All we need now is a government that's willing to do the right thing.
