Coal still the focus for politicians while business outpaces them on renewables transition
When it comes to coal, politicians seem stuck in a short-term election cycle while the corporate sector is getting on with the business of transitioning to renewables.
Key points:
- Major parties are all reluctant to commit transition from coal policies ahead of the Hunter by-election
- Mine services companies are already moving into renewables
- The Institute for Sustainable Futures say the growth in renewables is happening faster than predicted
