abc.net.au/news/australia-urged-to-respond-to-mammoth-us-green-subsidies/101942366Renewable energy developers and operators are warning that Australia's decarbonisation efforts risk being derailed because of "mammoth" green spending plans by the United States.
CEC chief executive Kane Thornton said America's intervention had brought a sharper edge to the transition, intensifying the contest for the labour, materials and money needed to overhaul economies.Mr Thornton warned it was a race Australia was in danger of losing unless governments led by the Commonwealth boosted their efforts to keep pace with the US."The Inflation Reduction Act introduced in the United States is a massive game changer," Mr Thornton said.
Among the measures it is seeking is an expansion of the renewable energy target, along with greater efforts to electrify homes, businesses and the transport system.On top of this, the CEC also wants the government to provide tax breaks for clean industries such as green hydrogen production, arguing Australia must act quickly if it plans to become a renewable energy superpower."The US is now leading what is a global clean energy arms race.
For recruitment manager Ryan Carroll, Australia was competing not only to attract overseas workers but to retain those already here.

Meaning investors aren't getting the returns they were after. Australia is 1% of the carbon issue, China and the rest of the developing world are at 49% of the problem. Don't worry about them, they aren't due to make major cutbacks until at least 2060.
Net Zero is nothing more than a political weapon !
The world largest greenhouse gas emitters possibly is developing & advancing at the expense of others taking conservation steps. The more countries pander to the USA & not force them to come in line, the more hypocritical they become. Deny them.
Jason Hickle, a proud WEF schill, outlines in his book Less is More, the truth about the climate narrative. Nothing we are doing is going to stop climate change. The models govs use, incorporate somethign called BECCS, which is future tech to capture emissions. It's a scam.
US government: jump ! Our government: how high boss? 😂
The more we spend on renewables the higher our electricity cost. EV's are more expensive buy and they will be more expensive to drive too. Follow the money...
. Companies wanting free taxpayer money... .
Yes. Lets go for the greenest energy of all. Nuclear.
ABC: Australia needs to increase green subsidies higher than US subsidies. Also ABC: Renewables are cheaper than fossil fuels.
Eastern States needs to get onto unreliables as quickly as possible. Shut down all fossil fuel electricity immediately and urgently. The woke left will need to learn by painful experience. ClimateScam
The USA is a major dirtier polluter. Australia is an angel. No need to do anything
Wake up, you so called Peoples Media. There is nothing green about renewables.
Even a log would have seen it coming. It's years that this risk is known. That's why one always needs to add a big buffer on top of any transition plan. Net of all good intentions, there's only so much Australia can do, especially if the big guys start to apply some pressure.
Methanol industry. Australia would boom.
Time for the ABC to do an educational piece on clean air Nuclear Energy: “Nuclear Success Stories - Reducing Air Pollution while Promoting Energy Security & Economic Prosperity” - or something along those lines. Perhaps a look at Sth Korea & U.A.E. Or Poland, GE Hitachi & SMR.
This article asserts that we must compete with America on spending on existing expensive and unreliable ‘renewable’ technology. Apparently we’re in an “Arms Race” with our greatest ally……… These articles all frame the matter as one of being at risk of missing opportunity
Good ol’ Lobby group propaganda itching for some more of that sweet sweet tax payer money. Give me more!
At this point, military 🪖 spending should be the only spending going on! If you don't agree, stop supporting this PROXY war you are so keen on paying for!! How about some actual thought about the future you are pushing. Take ya big fans and shove em BORING.
What do they want Net Zero !!! What do we exhale Ohhhh 😬
Net zero will cause death, poverty & war.
If the US is going to 'decarbonise' 🤣 what's wrong with us riding on the US's coat tails? We produce bugger-all emissions and the problem, if it exists at all, is global.
If carbon is the cause of GLOBAL warming, climate change, it makes sense to let one of the world’s largest emitters to make the most progress. Why would such a small player like Australia take precedence?
The green delusion is under threat.
Scam
You know this includes nuclear, right?
Throwing money at unreliable energy sources is not ‘green’.
Green spending needs to wean itself off authoritarian regimes.
More propaganda from the the Carbon Cult!
Another fine example of why the ABC needs to be defunded.
