Our best long term economic strategy is to industrialise .
Over the past 100 years, those countries who have industrialised have needed mega amounts of electricity. Modern automated industries need even more electricity than say 5 years ago.
At present we are striving to patch up the national grid to maintain a minimal/steady/reliable electricity supply.
If as the Greenies maintain, that coal & LNG will be phased-out within a Generation and that our export of coal & LNG constitutes $60 billion a year in export revenue, then, obviously we'll have to replace that with manufactured product exports.
IMO, this will require at least 30% higher electricity generation than what we have today.
This is why we have to rapidly crank up Hydro ( NQ & Tasmania) and Nuke elsewhere should we want to meet our international emissions committments . A hodge/podge wind/solar simply wont do it, IMO.
Apart from Nuclear Energy, we need to Nuke up to protect ourselves from a rapidly growing Indonesia supported by China as a preferred supplier via China's BRI membership.
