"It is sadly unsurprising that the federal Coalition is still warning that the
lights will go out, businesses will close and the economy will collapse if
Australia continues on the path to a renewable energy grid.
The reality is that they – and the fossil fuel incumbents that sit behind them
and the right wing media that provide their echo chamber – have been predicting
this for decades. And they are still wrong, and even more wrong now than they
ever have been.
A stunning new report from the US-based RMI, once known as the Rocky Mountain
Institute, shows why. The report, titled
The Cleantech Revolution: It’s
exponential, disruptive and now is stunning because of the glorious simplicity
of their graphs.
These underline everything that the conservatives and the nay-sayers don’t want
to admit about the transition to green energy – that renewables are cheaper,
faster, cleaner and more efficient, and that the overwhelming force of new
technology will overwhelm the obstacles the incumbents are desperately trying
to put in their way.
The report is too detailed, and the great graphs too many, to repeat here. So
I’ve chosen some of the most compelling, and would invite interested readers to
click on the report to find out more. Some of the questions you may have about
the pace, scale and reality of the green energy transition might be answered."
