Climate change is increasing the frequency and intensity of heat waves, droughts, firestorms and floods. Meanwhile the long-term trend is for oil and gas prices to increase in Australia. Fortunately, we now have a solution to these joint threats, namely sustainable energy, which brings together efficient energy use and renewable energy. Research at the University of New South Wales and elsewhere finds that Australia could transition to an electricity system that is entirely renewable and is based on commercially available technologies.
