"The way to tackle energy needs today to is have a secure supply [and] the Beetaloo Basin can offer that secure supply," Cassandra Schmidt from the Australian Petroleum Production and Exploration Association said.
Tamboran Resources is drilling water bores in preparation for another test well on Tanumbirini Station. Grattan Institute energy analyst Alison Reeve said increasing pressure to decarbonise, and the costs of that, means a business case for the Beetaloo isn't likely to stack up without big government subsidies."It is not going to be a growth industry between now and 2050, so you would be putting subsidies into what is effectively going to become a stranded asset.
Pierre Langenhoven's Rallen Australia cattle operation on the massive Tanumbirini station, about an 800 kilometre drive from Darwin, is the unwilling host to fracking exploration wells owned by Santos, Tamboran Resources subsidiary, Sweetpea, and Origin Energy.Tanumbirini Station owner Pierre Langenhoven and manager Andrew Stubbs fear if exploration by three gas companies moves to production, their cattle operation will be damaged.
YellowJournalism & ClickBait
No. Not by any reasonable definition of 'solve'. What crazy question will be next? 'Could extraterrestrial invasion solve Australia's employment crisis?' Also no. Although the ET solution might be a better bet than the Beetaloo Basin solving the energy crisis. 🙄
No, just fucking NO...stop this awful 'reporting' bullshit. We do not have a supply problem in Australia...this is just greed and profiteering.
No We don't need more places desiminated We need renewable energy
What trash. If gas lobbyists wrote the news 🙄 Thank god for independent news.
The ABC is a disgrace for allowing this lobbying piece to be published. Australia needs to stop new oil and gas. And shut all coal mines.
PCKJ3627 There is no energy crisis. It’s propaganda from mining companies who profit and destroy this country giving nothing in return. Reports detail the devastating impact this and Scarborough will have on the environment. Approvals like this makes a mockery of Plibersek’s NPC speech.
Not when its just shipped straight out of the country tax free for massive multinational corporate profits.
PCKJ3627 Did the gas industry pay for this? It reads like a gas company promotion. Traditional owners not mentioned till last, & then saying 'some' Traditional owners have concerns. Jane Bardon. Who are you really working for?
PCKJ3627 No - ClimateCrisis stupid
ABC are you fucking joking
journalismatitsbest
Yes it could if the gas companies didn’t export the bulk overseas
Having a decent domestic reserve might help more than just giving the billionaires more product to sell to other countries at higher rates than they'd get here.
If by 'solve Australia's energy crisis', you mean 'render Australia (and the rest of the world) uninhabitable, thus reducing domestic demand for electricity to zero', then I guess the answer is yes.
Could but they sending it to the highest bidder (overseas).
Like, even if we were not in a climate emergency, the gas industry in particular has shown nothing but contempt for Austtalians. So, no. In the bin.
Cease this
No
This is the third pro-gas piece from in a week - Vic, WA, NT. Looking less naive and more full blown gas capture and climate denial at this point.
No.
Shame for publishing this. We don’t need gas! We don’t need to line the pockets of fossil fuel billionaires. We need a non polluting form of renewable energy which we have the technology for.
Could the ABC have completely lost its mind to write a headline like this?
Indigenous Native Land holders and pastoralists have been protesting the proposed poisoning of the Beetaloo Basin for more than 8-years. This is propagandist rubbish. ThisisNotJournalism
hearing strong some 'no's to this shit headline folks
Replace one problem with an even bigger one.
We don’t have an energy crisis. We have heaps of sun, wind and wave action. ABCthedrum politicsabc abc730 can you please become the guardian and voice of the people again?
There is no energy crisis, there's a gas export problem.
Won’t solve our fire & flood crisis
Our crisis is one of lack of the right infrastructure. Not the lack of product. Coal Power Stations are falling apart.. it's not economical to fix them. More coal/gas will just be shipped OS. The country misses out on any use/tax benefit from it. Fix the wires go Renewables.
There shouldn't be any government subsidies into fuels because it's just a risk.
If they give it away.
How to plug and encourage fracking by posing it as a hypothetical.
No!
No, the solution is simple - domestic reserve.
BS, we are giving away 98% of our Gas for just about Free !!!
No. And your editorial staff need to learn about clickbait. FFS.
Please start paying attention, why don’t you!
Well it will make overseas investors billions. We will still be short of gas and pay highest prices for domestic use. Our pollies couldnt run a chook raffle.

As RDNS_TAI TheAusInstitute says - this is not a crisis, it's the system working exactly as it was designed to. Take note and stop with this misinformation.
What an incompetent bunch of ignorant savages litter the ABC these days. There's no energy crisis that cannot be solved by restricting how much gas companies can export for mega profits that they pay no tax on. Research is not your strong point but this article is tosh.

NO
We don’t have an energy crisis - we are one of the most energy-rich nations on earth. We have a policy failing - more gas pushed into the current policy framework will do nothing to address the ‘crisis’.

Fixed your headline. Could the solar radiation-rich Beetaloo basin region solve Australia’s renewable energy crisis?
Not if it is in private ownership.
Only at the price of helping wreck the future for humankind...
We already produce more gas than we need but we let the multinational companies that extract it sell three quarters of it overseas at no benefit to Australians. Opening more gas fields won't change this. Also global heating, so ...
We don’t have a supply shortage, so no, it can’t.
Renewables will solve the energy crisis. What part of keeping coal and gas in the ground don't you understand?
No.

After the traditional owners objected to their sacred lands being destroyed for profit they were ignored why.
Australia's energy crisis has been made possible with the words LNP and big business.
Nope
Australia doesn't have a gas crisis, it's just that most of it is being exported because eastern states refuse to reserve enough for their own needs. As usual, politicians serving the fossil fuel industry ahead of voters. auspol
We don't want for supply.
No it would simply be sold off to foreign buyers and we would pay even more
It’s a climate crisis not an energy crisis. JFC total clown level journalism.
We dont have an energy crisis - we have a greed crisis - the longer the gas stays in the ground the more valuable it is... Granted the ones who want to take it out and buy big yatches with it wont win - but maybe the environment will...
Will you please just once in your life shut up
You want fires?…that’s how you get fires.
Was this article sponsored by the gas industry? Record heatwaves in Europe and you publish this stinker? Come on ABC
What energy crisis? We have more than enough gas. We just let the corrupt ruling class give it to their mates who then sell it overseas where they keep their profits.
Ffs. For the last time. Australia is not short of gas. The problem is greedy multinationals exploiting our resources for maximum profit and them being allowed to do so.
Where do you come up with this rubbish?
No, the gas-rich Beetaloo Basin won't solve Australia's energy crisis.
No
Madness
What a Steve Prick of a question.
No.
ALL the gas will go overseas, except for the small amount we can afford to buy.
Nein
No, because they'd just export all effing gas like they do now.
No. Next.
We have a whole continent for less than 30 million people and we have an energy crisis. Yet, we call ourselves innovative. 🤨
$21 million Fed grant by LNP. Where there's dirty money, Angus is there. 'Senate inquiry show that in Oct 2020 Empire organised for the fed energy min, Angus Taylor, to visit its first Beetaloo well, paying for a “return charter flight and hospitality”
Stupid fucking energy policies and idiots in parliament, past and present are driving Australia into the Dark Ages !
Stop this You know full well this is both clickbait and part of our disastrous environmental position Honestly , this really isn’t good enough Not by a long chalk
I’ll buy some shares in the project. Go ahead!
NO!
This dog represents ABCaustralia and AustralianLabor:
How many fossil fuel executives have been appointed to the ABC board?
No because it will make the planet uninhabitable
WTAF?
Nope. Nope. Nope.
Er…We don’t have an energy crisis, we have a greedy corporations crisis.
No.
Could we get Putin to get the Nazis out of the ABC?
Good we really are addicted to fossils, and run by fossils too it would seem
Global CO2 levels and methane levels are rising so how will the production emissions from these massive gas projects be reduced and offset? We deserve an answer to that question. Scope three not our problem according to the government...Ummm.
Australia had a plan using gas to transition to renewables, it's still a good plan ?
Shhhh nobody mention global warming
Its only advantage is the rules can be set to a minimum local supply at a long term price. If I was doing the contract I'd be using Beetaloo to offset east coast gas that could easily be fed into the existing network. And total world gas use wont change.
No
No because it will get sent overseas ffs
Supply isn’t the problem. Shipping the already existing gas supply offshore is the problem.
No.
What a stupid question! Have you been paying attention ClimateCrisis not an energy crisis. The ABC has a stupid crisis.
No
Why dont have a supply problem, we have an exporting problem.
We are in climate breakdown. Report on that ABC with the urgency it requires and stop with the gas lead recovery stories.
what part of no new fossil fuels in successive IPCC reports do you not understand
No. It’s a fossil fuel.
Sure, why not.
Laughable. Most gas is for export. What gas is kept for domestic use will be sold at higher international prices, which us why the project is so lucrative. It will add to scope 1, 2, and 3 emissions regardless of the falsehoods peddled about offsets and mitigations. Think Chevron
Two words: New. Clear. ☢️ … yes that’s a joke. Nuclear might be a really good idea in producing a diverse supply of energy for our national grid.
NO The miners would be exporting the gas As soon as Bass Str gas was connected to Gladstone THEY DIVERTED the gas for export They r driven by profit n they dont give a shit about local users
Australia's energy problem at the moment is very expensive coal and gas, and not enough cheap renewable electricity.
Not without fucking up the much much more important environmental crisis .
eat a massive one.
No it can't. Too far from the market to be price competitive.
No it effen can’t ffs ….don’t look up!
Can setting your house on fire keep you warm?
No
..It may...by worsening global warming and destroying ecosystems, millions will die across the globe, eventually reducing the need for all forms of energy..
We don't need more gas, we need the gas that is being exported. How many times do you need to be told.
Thank goodness Labor is in charge... they will open up coal mines and gas fields in a way that will reduce carbon emissions.. isn't that right lefties?
There is no energy crisis. It's a contrived shortage and more mining of fossil fuels won't fix corporate corruption. It only encourages it.
That Gas has probably already been sold overseas.
It would be used for export not domestic use as it’s cheaper to send offshore than bringing to the east coast.
Just another hole in the ground and more money sent overseas.
Take some social responsibility for your « articles » and the selections you add to social media FFS
Just another shift to try and make the Labor government ignore the protests of First Nations people against this project. Better to put rooftop solar and big batteries in every home.
ffs
Nope. Leave the gas in the ground
Did someone from the gas industry pay for this ABC article?
Just to clarify, in the article the gas lobby asserts opening the Beetaloo Basin is necessary. Something everyone except the editor here knows is earth killing bullshit.
It makes the climate crisis worse. It's not even in the solution space.
We don't 'solve' anything by boosting global warming. More irresponsible 'journalism' from ABC. We already produce more than enough gas but we export it. We must halt all new coal & gas projects immediately, transition to renewables, and stop giving $$$ billion subsidies.Betaloo
No
No. But it would solve the LNP’s populism crisis.
The East Coast have a gas issue caused by state governments not ensuring domestic gas supply from the 3 LNG plants that were built.
It’s another stupid idea. We have ample renewable just not the will to make it a reality
No! 😡 🤬-off with new gas and coal!
No. Supply isn't the problem.
