In addition, there isn’t sufficient transmission infrastructure to deliver the extra power needed. Both require many many billions to be invested ahead of growth in demand.<br/>Sorry but this is the space I have worked in for the last 25 years. As a developer of solar technology and projects; an adviser/lobbyist to governments about renewables/emissions; and an consultant to companies around developing technologies and projects. 2026-03-17T01:36:03Z https://yabu.me/nevent1qqswxkdhst6sv4f8ns8slnwec8t5rtauyq58kea7jfauymf8rpkz7kgzyzv2u5xn2772hfg3z2xt83mjxxgy45y8sypfkzvuqenvrthkhdfs5udjj0c A small 🙄 problem with this strategy (and the article’s basis for its conclusions)…. Where would all the green electricity come from? We aren’t keeping up with our emissions reduction targets today (and all that is going on in wars across the globe today means our targets will need to increase substantially).<br/>Increases in EVs requires new electricity infrastructure and more green generation.<br/>#AusPol #Emissions #EVs<br/><a href="https://www.theguardian.com/environment/2026/mar/16/electric-vehicles-australia-reduce-reliance-on-foreign-fuel?CMP=Share_iOSApp_Other">https://www.theguardian.com/environment/2026/mar/16/electric-vehicles-australia-reduce-reliance-on-foreign-fuel?CMP=Share_iOSApp_Other</a> 2026-03-16T20:48:15Z https://yabu.me/nevent1qqsf7ld7zjzp96v0sanhzc05prxcg85rywx3t8ztelsc084pg2we9jszyzv2u5xn2772hfg3z2xt83mjxxgy45y8sypfkzvuqenvrthkhdfs5ryp9zy Definitely the best 17 minutes of leadership I have seen in a long time.<br/><br/><a href="https://youtube.com/watch?v=btqHDhO4h10&amp;si=akmGFEtRLhDpxubB">https://youtube.com/watch?v=btqHDhO4h10&amp;si=akmGFEtRLhDpxubB</a><br/><br/>#Davos #Carney #AusPol #Aukus #NATO 2026-01-24T09:19:05Z https://yabu.me/nevent1qqsv0xj848rz7455rt0nad83cnjtvlk8w05y433cn0aftlh37y2zfqczyzv2u5xn2772hfg3z2xt83mjxxgy45y8sypfkzvuqenvrthkhdfs5wpct6h Thank you to this extraordinary list of writers who are standing with Randa #AbdelFattah.
