The Energy Portfolio Downunder: What?s new and enabling?

Abstract

Australia?s subsurface holds a huge energy resource endowment including coal, petroleum, uranium, and geothermal energy. Australia?s oceanic surrounds, sunshine and wind provide additional options for energy supplies. That is fortunate and these comparative advantages will enable Australia to sustain prosperity with safe, secure and competitively priced energy supplies in the face of increasing demand. Oil will peak ? but we are unlikely to see a peak in fuel for transport or power.
