One attitude change that might help would be a re-evaluation of nuclear, which is emission-free but hobbled by public fears
I was watching a TV news report on the wildfires in Australia the other day when the announcer suddenly veered off on a tangent.
So no applause for Australia, or awards for Morrison in his grasp of optics. Everyone who has a stone to throw, aim now. Various studies suggest Australia, like Canada, has the capacity to replace fossil fuels with renewables, but faces serious hurdles. It has considerable potential for wind and solar power, but is constrained, according to a recent government analysis, by “higher transformation costs relative to other energy sources , immature technologies, and long distances from markets and infrastructure.”
