"As Australia approaches its next election, energy policy debates have once
again surged to the forefront, dominating public discussion and television
broadcasts alike.

The familiar arguments around fossil fuels – coal jobs, gas-fired recovery, and
the promise of hydrogen as a saviour – are front and center. But the
fundamental truths of Australia’s energy landscape, when viewed through the
government’s own numbers, present a stark contrast to the political rhetoric.

As an outside observer, looking closely at the official energy flows, one sees
a nation that primarily mines and exports fossil fuels to the benefit of
others, while shouldering significant domestic environmental and economic
risks."
