We can’t even roll out a digital incoming passenger card, that other countries already have, we offshore all the tech jobs we can get away with, we’re doing nothing on this scale quickly.
Can’t wait for the increase in battery fires as we rush for the cheapest junk as we shortcut approvals in the name of speed.
Yeah, ultimately this will be easier than trying to recreate any sort of local refining etc.
Even if we tried to go at a massive pace, it’s likely a decade long transition anyway – particularly for freight providers – they are used to working those assets (trucks) into the ground over multiple decades to get their returns. Freight costs would jump significantly if the government just turned around and said “all Diesel trucks must be phased out in 3 years”.
Nope. Still nope.
The easiest conversion to make is to provide world class bike infrastructure in the major cities. So many net benefits for such a relatively low investment
I’m all for electrification but you need to be realistic about the limitations of this currently. Name a country which has successfully replaced trucking with electrification? Aviation? There are a myriad of industries dependent on oil and will be for many years to come. You need copper for electrification, to make copper you need sulphuric acid. Where does nearly 90% of sulfur come from? You guessed it, good old fossil fuels. Go ahead vote me down for posting facts kids
Our government, while right on the cusp of a revolution, canned our vehicle production industries and brought a piece of coal into parliament. Imagine where we could be now if our leaders weren’t such self serving mindless fuckwits.
Isn’t QLD trying to make some law about limiting E Bikes at the moment? Asia is going to leapfrog Aus HARD
Molten salt reactors to replace coal and gas and we could be carbon neutral in a decade.
The whole point is to transition as much as possible as fast as possible. This will lessen the burden and leave the liquid fuel for the industries that aren’t able to take it all the way yet.
I don’t know why everyone gets so hung up pointing out that we’re not able to transition 100% of our reliance. Do what we can now; ease the demand and reliance on fossil fuels; the technology will catch up.
if we got the excess power, we can start the excess industry that are hungry for power and they will come
If only people thought they could have a beer with Bill Shorten. We’d already have electrified Australia.
