"Queensland’s Premier, David Crisafulli, is trying to have his cake and eat it
too.
His decisions to repeal Queensland’s Renewable Energy Targets and keep
Queensland’s coal power stations open for decades to come are designed to
appeal to the pro-fossil fuel members of his party. But these decisions are
completely at odds with the Queensland LNP’s renewed commitment to reach 75%
emissions reduction by 2035.
The Premier is trying to play both sides – he’s attempting to keep the loud
anti-renewable minority happy while still appealing to the majority of voters
who have demonstrated a desire for climate action. But the truth is that by
sitting on the fence the Crisafulli Government is not delivering for anyone.
Their energy policies will not prepare regional economies for inevitable
change, get power bills down or deliver the emissions reductions they promised.
The recently released
Five Year Energy Roadmap is a glossy brochure filled
with numbers that don’t quite stack up when held up to any scrutiny."
