Australia has good reason to go 100% renewable by 2030

The Alternative Technology Association has released research that indicates that Australia could make the transition to a completely renewable energy electricity grid by 2030. To achieve that, 93.3 GW of additional renewable energy generation capacity would be necessary.

A transition such as this would be less expensive and risky than constructing new coal-fired power stations as well. “Australia should transition quickly to a 100% renewable electricity grid, as it is cheaper and less risky than the alternative of building new coal-fired power stations,” wrote the Alternative Technology Association’s (ATA) Energy Projects Team.
