With the transition from coal to clean new energy, Australia has a "world's most worrying"-the world's most expensive electricity bill-that worries goverment!
Although Australia has the world's largest coal and gas reserves and ideal conditions for clean electricity generation, the cost is staggering.
It is reported that New Yorkers spend more than half the cost of Sydney!
Australian Prime Minister Malcolm Turnbull says the climate crisis has been averted as far as possible, but goverment in New and Victoria is still worried about electricity bills for residents.
A decade of political turmoil and missteps in climate policy have left the piecemeal power system out of control, raising manufacturing costs significantly, directly doubling electricity tariffs last year, and raising the risk of power outages.
Natural gas is mainly to fill the gap in power supply caused by the shutdown of coal-fired power plants, and in recent years, the transition to solar and wind energy has been gradual. However, the continued export to overseas, resulting in a local energy shortage.
Because there is no appropriate solution to this problem, Prime Minister Turnbull threatened:
Unless gas suppliers can solve domestic shortages, they will limit their exports!
The country's largest and power generator pushes Australia to opt for renewable energy instead of coal, and Prime Minister Turnbull, who is driven by solar panels at his mansion in the port, fears further increases in electricity costs. Unwilling to remove fossil fuels from energy mixtures.
In Australia, the lack of a clear power policy has even led to political unrest and a change of prime minister.
With goverment unable to agree on clean energy targets, energy-intensive industries require investment certainty. Mining giants say higher prices put investment projects at risk.
In addition, according to the Australian Competition and Consumer Council, 1/3 of large natural gas industry users will cut their operations because of higher fuel prices.
Perhaps a lot of obscure climate policy we don't understand very well, but what is closely related to our common people is that electricity is too expensive! I can't live anymore!
