the messages coming out of Canberra are somewhat varied. over the past fortnight the message has been
clean coal is the answer
gas security is the answer
pumped hydro is the answer
Pumped hydro is a great idea, since it is a technology that is an excellent complement to renewables - so does this latest announcement really indicate an acceptance of a renewable future and does the preceding announcement indicate that renewables will be paired with new gas capability? (which sort of sounds like the SA plan)
It would be nice to have a clear National strategy like the SA government put out - then there would be something concrete and self consistent to discuss and argue about.
