“Gold is not the most valuable commodity in the world…ENERGY IS”

Australia, like much of the Western world, is set to undergo an energy transition in pursuit of climate goals. Fossil fuel infrastructure is being rapidly replaced by renewable technologies with the promise that this will lead us to a better, cleaner future. But will it?

In this speech from ARC Australia, Gerard Holland looks in detail at the realities of energy transition, and demonstrates that the current path Australia is on is equivalent to economic self-harm, with sacrifices being made in reliability, security, abundance and density.

With the poorest among us likely to be the ones who pay the price for our ‘green’ agenda, Gerard urges that we reconsider the course we are on.
