With the advent of COVID-19 in 2020, it can be easy to think that our renewable energy future is on shaky ground – the pause button pressed at the very least.
First of all, we have had mass lockdowns and restrictions which have torched our economy cost thousands of Australians their jobs and left us with a huge job of injecting money back into projects to get everyone back into work.
It has, unfortunately, put the conversation on climate action on the backburner.
But the Federal Government is moving to get projects firing to get people into work and that includes mapping out our energy future. The bad news? It seems the Morrison Government has – for the moment – forgotten about renewable energy projects in favour of fossil fuels.
