All their populations are growing and they know that they need stable power, someone better catch on quick here as last reports we are on the increase as well, but hey, who believes an anonymous poster.

Albo better start reading the ABS then before he shuts down too much

POPULATION SIZE AND GROWTH

Australia's estimated resident population at 30 June 2017 of 24.6 million people is projected to increase to between 37.4 and 49.2 million people by 2066. Series A projects the fastest growth, while series C projects the slowest growth.

Source(s): Population Projections, Australia, 2017 (base) - 2066

In the 10 years to 30 June 2017, Australia's population increased by 1.7% per year on average, with around 60% of growth resulting from NOM and around 40% from natural increase (births minus deaths). In the year ending 30 June 2017, the contribution of NOM to population growth again increased to 64%, with natural increase decreasing to 36%. During this period there were 307,800 births and 160,200 deaths in Australia, resulting in natural increase of 147,600 people, and a population increase of 262,300 due to NOM.

In the 10 years to 30 June 2027, Australia's population is projected to increase at an annual average rate of between 1.4% (series C), 1.6% (series B), and 1.8% (series A). In each of the three selected series 60% of this growth is projected to result from NOM and 40% from natural increase.

Over the next 15 years, from 30 June 2027 to 30 June 2042, the annual average growth rate for Australia is projected to be lower at 0.9% (series C), 1.2% (series B), and 1.5% (series A). The proportion of Australia’s growth resulting from natural increase is projected to increase to 44% in series A, and to decrease in series B and C (36% and 27% respectively) in 2042.

So so correct Chappy.
We have a real problem ensuring renewables can, or could power the present population's requirements.
Has Albo or Labor factored in the extra 20 million new Australians?
