The Role of Government in the Transition to Renewable Energy

There's a central role for government in this transition. The good news is it's a role for government supporting where Australia will have a comparative advantage. Having the lowest cost of renewable energy is only a very one component. If firming means that we need a trivial amount of gas peakers for a few more years, frankly, who cares? You're sitting here with a coal-dominated electricity system on the East Coast.
