A moment of energy clarity amid shipwreck pushers
Tom KirkmanIndependent Project Manager
A moment of energy clarity and sanity, in a sea of those pushing hard for an energy shipwreck.
I fully expect the vociferous demands by energy illiterates to kill off natural gas will grow increasing louder and shriller.
Facts are irrelevant to ideological purists who are hell bent on forcing everyone to comply with their cult dogma.
========================
“Days before presenting a bill to control emissions from large polluters, Australia’s government said that
● natural gas should continue to play a key role in energy supply in the country,
Australian Minister for Climate Change and Energy, Chris Bowen, said.
● “Some call for an immediate ban on future gas.
● Or the cancelling of long-term contracts with key trading partners.
● These options are both irresponsible and not countenanced by the Government,”
Bowen said in a speech on Monday.
“These are the same trading partners we will need to help drive the energy transformation – the sovereign risk created would be untenable,” the minister added.
… Australia’s energy market have seen changes over the past year after the Russian invasion of Ukraine roiled global markets and sent gas prices skyrocketing.
Last month, the Federal Court of Australia quashed a decision by former Prime Minister Scott Morrison to block a natural gas exploration license offshore Australia’s east coast, ruling that the refusal to allow exploration was biased. …”
