You know Australia has the highest % of power generated by solar of any country?
You know Australia is the biggest lithium exporter? You know Australia has copper, rare earths, all required for renewable energy?
You know Australia also exports the most IRON, a necessary ingredient for steel, right?
Where does this delusion that Australia isn't lucky come from?

Bit of a "resource curse" thing at the moment, where you can dig up the wealth and ship it out the country without necessarily enriching the wider population as much as you'd think.
