Australia has already committed billions of dollars to renewable energy projects, transmission lines and supporting infrastructure.

Supporters of the current approach argue these investments are necessary to modernise Australia’s energy system, improve energy security and prepare for future energy needs. They believe the transition will deliver long-term benefits for future generations and help Australia remain competitive in a changing world.

Others are concerned about the cost, the impact on electricity prices and whether future governments will retain the flexibility to take a different approach to energy policy if circumstances change.

Some Australians are concerned that if too much money is committed now, a future government may have little practical choice but to continue down the same path because of the vast sums already invested.

This raises an important question for Australia’s future.
