The future energy system

Australia is very slow to realise that we are sitting on resources (I am not talking about mining) that would give us a competitive advantage over most other manufacturing economies around the world.  Even fossil fuel rich countries like Saudi Arabia are quicker to realise this.

"Play our cards right, and Australia’s exceptionally rich endowment per person in renewable energy resources makes us a low cost location for energy supply in a low carbon world economy. That would make us the economically rational location within the developed world of a high proportion of energy‐intensive processing and manufacturing activity. Play our cards right, and Australia is a superpower of the low carbon world economy."
