It’s also the country where a third of homes have solar panels. Coal mining is still an issue but the proportion used for domestic power is decreasing every year.
Australia isn’t just Gina Rhinehart. Yes, Australia’s economy is very mining heavy, and that includes coal mining. But that doesn’t mean there aren’t a lot of people there who realize that, in a region with that much sunshine, solar is a bit of no-brainer.
Yes, but there are quite a few of us who would like to see that industry wind down q bit to save things like the Barrier Reef and Earth in general.
so a product with decades long lifetime made almost entirely out of easily and commonly recycled parts like aluminum and glass, vs fuels with lifetimes of a few seconds with zero recyclability, all of the waste is immediately mixed into the air. Fuck off fossil fuel pawns.
What’s with the hostility? No one is disputing that solar in Australia is obviously a good choice and far better than fossil fuels. But that doesnt mean the (relatively small) downsides shouldn’t be discussed.
