1. Solar and wind the cheapest sources of
energy and could power Australia, the
Climate Commission says

2. SOLAR and wind could become the cheapest
sources of energy and almost exclusively
power the country in coming decades as
carbon prices climb, the Climate Commission
says.

3. A report, to be released today by chief commissioner
Professor Tim Flannery, notes the vast potential from
sunlight and wind and “solar PV and wind could be
the cheapest forms of power in Australia for retail
users by 2030, if not earlier, as carbon prices rise”.

4. Prof Flannery said improvements had driven
down the cost of renewable energy so much
that Australia’s uptake had increased more
than a decade faster than earlier imagined.

5. He said people might find it hard to believe
communities could one day be powered almost
entirely by renewable energy, but people would never
have believed they would one day carry around little
computers in their pockets.

6. “It’s like anything, computers or mobile
phones, they started off expensive and
over time the cost just declines and we’ve
seen that with wind and now with solar,”
he said.

7. But the report The Critical Decade: Generating a
Renewable Australia has no detail around how
renewable energy and fossil fuel prices might
compare in the future. Prof Flannery said technology
moved so quickly, it was impossible to form
concrete predictions.
