This report {
Net-Zero-Australia-Mobilisation-How-to-make-net-zero-happen-updated-19-Sep-23.pdf (netzeroaustralia.net.au)} and its earlier modelling says we must find another $1.5 trillion in investments in just the next seven years to be on track to cut our net emissions to zero.
By 2060, we’ll need
$9 trillion, or six times what the entire Australian economy produces in a year.
And we’ll have to pay for it despite losing two of our three biggest-earning exports – coal and gas. They must go, says the report.
We’ll also have to find, train and pay 800,000 experts to do this switch to green power – eight times more than we have now.
We’ll also have to carpet an area about three times the size of Tasmania or more with wind and solar farms, judging by the NZA’s maps. Farmers must cut their emissions to zero or even “negative zero”, making food more expensive.
Also note that the largest generation scenarios are in WA and the NT and not connected to the grid.
We will need a lot more than divine intervention, but stupid dolts like you and the tree nut are all for it.
