Finkel’s national hydrogen strategy gets green light, but could be lifeline for coal
Finkel national hydrogen strategy gets green light from COAG, but there are fears it will provide a lifeline to prop up the coal industry and dreams of “carbon capture”.

Australia’s $10 billion wind and solar boom: But then what?
A $10 billion clean energy investment boom in 2017 could quickly fade without longer term policies. Labor tries to wedge Turnbull on climate policy, just as it did in 2009, while the Greens also say they would look at a Clean Energy Target.

Devil’s in detail, but Finkel may have gotten it just about right
Let’s forget about coal: Finkel’s Clean Energy Target should be designed to encourage a good mix of zero emissions dispatchable solutions including solar thermal and biomass.

Coalition’s war on cheap power: When fools design energy policy
Billed as a “once in a generation” opportunity to bring Australia’s energy market into the 21st Century, the Finkel Review is rapidly being reduced to absurdist arguments about the lights going out – by the very government that commissioned it. So much for Grid 2.0.

Finkel’s Clean Energy Target little more than states’ business as usual
New analysis shows clean energy target as modelled by Finkel Review will deliver less large scale renewable energy than current state-based targets.

How wind and solar will kill coal, sooner than Finkel suggests
BNEF report suggests wind and solar will fall further than Finkel Review expects, undermining case for even refurbished coal generators. The cost falls mean that Australia’s current Paris targets will be met even without a clean energy target mechanism.
