Luckily, the solution already exists. We must replace coal-fired power stations renewable energy sources by 2030. The only thing lacking is political will.
Renewables, such as solar and wind, are cheaper and more reliable than coal. Battery storage technology is advancing every day, and Tesla's big battery in South Australia is the right move for energy security and ensuring against power network failure in a cleaner and more effective way.
While Australia is already on track to be able to obtain a third of our energy from renewable energy sources in the next two years, we must work together to reach our goal of 100% renewable energy by 2030.
