we will move to nuclear plants and natural gas short term.. we will need nuclear to handle the inefficiencies in hydrogen fuel cell and other related battery technology in the panic switch.. Australia has 30% of the worlds Uranium, a shit load of natural gas and a bunch of oil under the barrier reef and the timor sea.. I expect us to be liberated at some point.
In the longer term we will develop renewable resources but we will only do it when absolutely forced so there will be considerable amounts of shit.. no politician is going to put the budget in deficit several billion dollars for tidal, wind, solar and geothermal power when the only thing they've got to worry about is the next 4 years and getting re-elected. Only when it's obvious to everyone and effects votes will things change and by then it will be too late for a nice easy transition.
