Forget nuclear, Australia is on fast lane to 100pc renewables
michaelwest.com.au/forget-nucl

Australia's politicians have argued over renewables for decades. Some are wasting time on purpose and hyping nuclear power to keep us using fossil fuel.

Meanwhile, citizens and private industry have led the way with solar power. Australia is well on the way to 100% renewable energy — sooner than many people realise.

Michael West · Forget nuclear, Australia is on fast lane to 100pc renewables - Michael WestA massive increase in solar power generation capacity is already putting Australia on the fast track to a 100% renewable energy future.

@davidgerard «There’s a real tech revolution going on right now! It’s renewable energy. Wind and solar and batteries are all super-cheap and getting cheaper, the tech is advancing by leaps and bounds, it’s doing amazing stuff.»

Yes!

@ProjectFearlessness #Pakistan replaced anywhere between 20-40% of its energy production with rooftop #solar in 2024 alone.

Its been so rapid, despite entrenched fossil lobbies, the Gov has had to cancel future coal and gas power projects, and renegotiate contracts with current ones to lower their prices or just shutter them

No amount of lobbying or narrative building can beat cold hard science and economics.

#Renewables are the future!

As Trump tries to bring coal back as a means to pander to voters it’s important to recognize coal is dying. For fossil fuels oil and gas are more efficient.

Renewables like solar and wind are rising in kWh while being cheaper than coal. This isn’t the government pushing the scale for renewables either as you see in the graph of energy mix. The market sees solar and wind are cheaper to deploy with better costs.

It is better to push towards #renewables.

Energy production mix for several OECD countries. Top is United States, then Sweden, Japan, Germany, France, China, the UK, and the global average all set by kWh.
Multiple graphs measuring the fall of coal in TWh from the 1990s to 2023 compared to the rise of solar and wind.

'The sixth edition of global energy think tank Ember's Global Electricity Review said wind and solar together generated 15 per cent of global electricity last year. India's share stood at 10 per cent.

The report said low-carbon sources, including renewables and nuclear power, together provided 40.9 per cent of the world's electricity in 2024.'

While I do want to see renewables feature in election pitches, Labour's home battery subsidy is bad. Home batteries are popular but they're exclusionary and they exacerbate existing issues around grid maintence costs. It shouldn't be desirable for most people to be operating a hobby-grade home powerplant. We should be investing in grid scale batteries. #auspol #renewables

Fossil fuels accounting for 49.2% of #electricity generated in the United States in March - the first time the figure has fallen below one-half. Spring is the very best time for #solar so this won't be repeated easily but it's still amazing. #renewables
