The trillion-dollar hole in Abbott’s climate policy logic
While the Coalition maintains that ambitious targets for renewables and emissions reduction would be economically catastrophic for Australia, a new report from Citigroup has come to exactly the opposite conclusion: strong climate action could save governments around $1.8 trillion by 2040, while inaction could cost as much as $44 trillion by 2060.

Could the solar vote be Abbott’s undoing?
A Canning plan: Australian Solar Council to target marginal WA seat of Canning, calling on local households and businesses to ‘vote solar’ in the upcoming by-election. With 50% solar uptake in the electorate, it’s a clever move. But the broader plan is to ignite a national debate, pitting renewables against a coal-loving PM.

Abbott points to solar plus storage, but does he really get it?
Buried in Abbott’s 2030 emissions reduction policy is a cursory mention of solar and storage. But does he, or anyone in the Coalition, really get the enormous role these unstoppable technologies will play in reducing Australia’s emissions and transforming its energy market?
