Two Second Memory

I live in Australia. Australia is the driest inhabited continent on the planet (Antarctica is the driest) and we get a phenomenal amount of sunshine, as many Queenslanders will testify — Queensland has the worlds highest rate of skin cancer.

Unfortunately for Australia we have lots of coal and more importantly a very powerful coal industry. So while countries like Portugal are doing the right thing. We are told renewables are too expensive, blah, blah. Lies. Coal is too cheap and the coal industry is too powerful.

Our leaders and economists tell us we are in a resources boom why don’t we put that money to good use and follow Portugal’s lead.
