    Australia has such an abundance of solar power that, international flights notwithstanding, it could become one of the world’s least oil-dependent countries. Replace household gas with electricity (heat pumps, induction cooking), electrify fixed-route buses and railways, roll out electric micromobility (bikes/scooters) and vehicle charging infrastructure, while making public transport and active mobility more viable alternatives to motoring. As for supply, we’re seeing solar panels appear on rooftops, so keep encouraging that and also allow tenants to install German-style balcony/window solar panels.

      Solar panels need to be made, along with batteries. Those can’t be made with sunlight.
