Australians want focus on renewables not coal, Lowy poll finds
The juice:
Australians overwhelmingly want governments to favour renewable energy over fossil fuels even if it costs more, and concerns about climate change are strengthening, a new Lowy Institute poll finds.
The survey of 1202 adults during the first three weeks of March found 81 per cent of respondents wanted policymakers to focus on clean energy sources such as wind and solar, even if it costs more to ensure grid reliability.

The poll low rates wind expectations, though it is an ideal compliment to solar.
The newest turbines are stunning. efficient, more consistent, bigger.
Anyone shovel-ready is well placed.
It appears Finkel will mandate batteries or stored hydro for wind producers. Sure. The gear will pay for itself and more - once someone figures it out, replicate.
