Clearly that's what twiggy thought, hence him pullin out.
Thompson, a Rhodes scholar who formerly worked at McKinsey & Co before establishing a government advisory business in Singapore, points to his research with Singaporean sovereign wealth fund Temasek. It identified a staggering $6.6 trillion of economic opportunities by 2030 from transitioning to a low-carbon green economy in the Asia-Pacific region alone.
“But when I looked at it, only one-third was getting the focus,” he says. “Everyone is crowding into a similar space, like wind and solar, but a lot of the big bet opportunities are not being touched – there’s a $4.4 trillion bit of the iceberg that’s still underneath the water.”Rapid urbanisation and manufacturing growth in the region are set to cause a surge in energy demand, but there are few viable options for renewables to satisfy that demand locally due to a lack of space for solar, and poor wind and tidal resources.
The sun above Australia, on the other hand, is world-class, providing 58 million petajoules of solar radiation a year – enough to supply 10,000 times our total consumption. What if Australia could harness more of that, and share it with our neighbours?
