Australia leads the Western world in the aggressive deployment of renewables, both in rooftop solar and utility wind, solar and storage. They show what is possible when a country sets targets, and implements smart policies to encourage renewable deployment. 🙌

Project developers have been running into rising costs, lengthy approval processes, community pushback and a lack of new power lines to connect to cities.

Australia ~~leads~~ lags the Western world in the deployment of renewables.
With their space, wind and sun and trade route with China they should have been a renewable leader.
