Australia's energy markets, their regulation and development might be in for some serious challenges it seems, right at the nub of change - policy intervention.
Australia has much of our energy production from coal, including some from particularly dirty brown coal. These are all on one side. Shall we say the brown, or maybe black corner.
Then there are the new energy producers, with renewable energy in various forms, but commonly wind in the majority at present, but more alternatives coming, or at worst, gas as the primary energy source. The green corner, you might think.
Lobbying from the black corner has so far been quite successful, with their success relatively undiminished. Even a few more recent successes. There has been a focus on preservation of the policy status quo. BUT.......the green corner is pushing hard, and might be on the cusp of some decent gains.
Read the article here and look at the links. An interesting time is upon us.

Can the politicians yet be convinced that it is within their power to actually do something??
