Embrace Change: Transition to Renewable Energy is Inevitable
The transition from coal to renewable energy in Australia is already significant, with renewables currently supplying about 40% of power and rapidly increasing. Coal, once the predominant energy source, is becoming less profitable, leading to the closure of coal-fired power plants without plans for reopening. A firm deadline exists, with the Australian Energy Market Operator predicting that 90% of coal power will be phased out within the next ten years. This transition necessitates urgent replacement strategies, including the growing discussion around nuclear energy as a viable option.
