It should be an exciting time you would think - unfortunately, I think it will also be very scary. Global Warming has reached religion levels,
being blamed for bushfires, cyclones, sea level etc, when statistical data shows otherwise. The Earth's Atmosphere is currently 0.04% CO2, with 3% of that man created - Australia's portion is 1.3% of that 3%. I agree we have changed our environment, and we do need to clean it up, but do we need to force these changes now, and put ourselves at risk economically even further? Modelling suggests EV takeup by intervention would be more realistic by around 2037, by attrition around 2045. Labor's plan of 50% EV's and 45% renewables is calculated to put half a trillion dollars ($500 billion)over the next decade in debt - our all up debt is a half trillion dollars now. A surplus of $7 billion is coming next FY - still will take a while to get this debt down. The cost of energy is estimated to go up seven fold over this time as well. Quote:
