The gov should be building large scale batteries up there. Even the big iron-air batteries you see going up. And make sure the iron comes from the Pilbara. WA also has more sunshine than the 'sunshine state', so solar works.

But... I also think miners have a responsibility to work towards their own energy sustainability too, not just whinge about how much it costs. Liontown paid big bickies to install MW's of solar and wind capacity and they aren't even producing from their mine yet. Don't just ask for a handout, invest in your own cost reductions and ESG and get the returns of that later. Twiggy is full throttle on green for FMG, even trialling an electric dump truck.

Miners are big polluters, they need to change their thinking.
