This is really interesting. Pairs well with cost reduction curve solar has achieved. Expect infrastructure will pose biggest threat to that trajectory.

Not a problem just a striking contrast versus the typical renewable adoption we have seen in post-gas transition nations.

The opportunity is better grid infrastructure and storage.

Subtlety lies in the emissions accounting: AUS's on track to beat its 'emission budget' despite not fully meeting the 43% reduction target. But shift from 40% to 42% reduction projection in good signal to improving climate response though. Targets are crucial. Journey to them is equally telling.

Thanks for sharing. Very easy to convince yourself to take on 'time-debt' i.e. sacrificing how I want to spend my time today, in pursuit of a better balance tomorrow.

Couldn't agree more. Strong believer that climate-tech targeting developing markets will see huge impact figures. Skip the gas transition and coal-gas carbon arbitrage is huge.

Yes! Using CSP as heat makes sense (similar to keeping thermal storage as heat). Projects falls apart when converting heat to electricity as existing heat engines are limited to adiabatic processes - large, expensive, and inefficient, rendering them impractical for most power grids and generators.🔌💡

I will be there - as you say - looking forward to meaningful conversations.
