With an estimated cost of $1.5 trillion by 2030, the moonshot transition to a renewable energy grid requires deep consideration. As politicians and bureaucrats pick winners in energy markets, and the government promises to increase domestic production of solar panels despite a global glut, many questions go unanswered. Clean energy markets have declined by as much as 40% in the last year. A conversation about Australia’s energy future and the costs and benefits needs to be had.<\/p>\n
