“Even if you were a climate sceptic and didn’t believe any of the science and didn’t notice that there were more floods and more bushfires and more cyclones – it would still be good policy because it will produce the cheapest form of energy, not the most expensive, which we know as nuclear,” Albanese said on Thursday.But he declined to commit to a 2035 emissions reduction target before the next federal election, saying the government was focused on 2030.
“But doing so because we see it as necessary if you are to be credible in achieving net zero whilst protecting Australia’s industrial base in the future.” “We should get out of the Paris climate agreement, dump net zero and unleash a New Age of Australian Energy Abundance,” he posted.
