Accelerating the rush to renewables will just further de-industrialise the country and send everyone broke. Our competitors know that you can't have expensive power and high wages together hence the number of coal fired power stations either under construction or in the planning stages around the world. These high efficiency units will have a life expectancy of several decades, or perhaps longer, and some will be designed to use Australian coal to further increase the efficiency, making their electricity even cheaper. Thats how many countries are protecting their future by moving up the ladder quicker than those around them by providing abundant, reliable and cheap power.

Except renewables are proving to be cheaper in the real world so none of that makes any sense.
