G7 ministers set big new targets for solar and wind capacity

| The Group of Seven rich nations on Sunday set big new targets for solar power and offshore wind capacity, agreeing to speed up renewable energy development and move toward a quicker phase-out of fossil fuels.

They agreed to accelerate “the phase-out of unabated fossil fuels” – the burning of fossil fuels without using technology to capture the resulting C02 emissions – to achieve net-zero in energy systems by 2050 at the latest. “Others are still trying to figure out how they could get there within their relevant timeframe – it was a good conversation and everybody is committed to doing it, and we are trying to find ways to some who are more coal-dependent than others to find technical pathways how to do that,” he said.

Australia diggs and sells coal to the world. does anybody see the hypocrisy 🤔

‘No credible pathway’ to net-zero exists without nuclear energyShadow Climate Change and Energy Minister Ted O’Brien says there is “no credible pathway” that countries are putting forward to reach net-zero by 2050 that excludes nuclear energy. “And my message is – shouldn’t we at least be looking at it,” he told Sky News Political Editor Andrew Clennell. Think again not good for the Planet ,not sustainable and certainly not cheap. 🥺 Oh for heaven’s sake, nobody actually wants the nuclear plant anywhere near them or their family. Nobody wants the waste storage any where near their state! Answer where you would put it and then maybe the debate could start, until then forget your pontificating!
