Australia is still highly dependent on coal. They’re not a prime example of how to decarbonize an electricity grid.
If you want a good example, rather look at France!
- ZeroGravitas 9mo agoSince 2005 France has deployed as much solar and wind generation as they've removed nuclear, about 10-15%. You probably meant late 20th Century France, when better renewable alternatives didn't exist, not current 21st century France.
- gregbot 9mo agoAhh yes. France’s investment in replacing carbon free nuclear with… carbon free intermittents. Fortunately that hype-driven waste is not stopping France from building out new EPR2 reactors.
- ruben81ad 9mo agoNot all australia is moving g at the same speed. Check south Australia, and it is a massive success. The difference is that the government invested in renewewals, along with solar in rooftops. As SA is smaller they did not had pressure from lobbies. Now, are almost 100% renewal energy all year long. It can be done.
