It isn't an environment issue
It is an environment issue. Only the blind can't see the evidence. However now clean energy has been ramped up to mass production it is also a matter of good economics.

Storage of energy via batteries, hot salts and pumped hydro are OK for households and to a limited degree for the grid.

The real game changer is coming where energy is stored in a cheap man made gas that stores hydrogen economically for indefinite periods. The gas can easily be transported and will be a huge export earner for Australia.

I wouldn't describe BP, EXON and SHELL as tree hugging lefties but you non believers in clean energy should look up how many billions of dollars they have put into clean energy so far.

Why have Toyota, Honda, Nikola Corp and Hyundai to name a few put so much money into Hydrogen vehicles? Why are they being tested in Australia? Where are they going to source their Hydrogen when the energy revolution gets into full swing?

You may think Anna is out of her depth but the truth is she knows a lot more about what we should be doing to catch the next wave of exports than the knuckle draggers who want to live in the past and build coal fired power stations while losing taxpayers money helping Adani.

Do not get me wrong on this issue of "climate change" the climate changes all the time.
We can only guess why the climate changed in the past. This time we have the equipment to tell us the cause.

You might reflect on the fact that never before in the life of our planet have so many humans lived on it and never before has such a huge amount of greenhouse gas been released into the atmosphere in such a short time.
