But they say crucial detail is lacking about how the framework will be implemented and are calling for stronger climate policy to underpin the strategy.
“The trouble in Australia for at least the last decade has been that climate change and energy policy has been too political.”The technologies listed will be assessed further through a consultation period to determine which ones are what Energy Minister Angus Taylor has called “horses in this race” to be targeted for investment.
Gas-fired power plants, carbon capture and storage, and soil carbon sequestration are other technologies put forward to lower emissions.The roadmap's release comes as a leaked interim report from the Manufacturing Taskforce of the National COVID Coordination Commission points to a “gas-led manufacturing recovery”.
“The notion that gas is going to support wind and solar is laughable. We need to get cracking on pushing ahead."A year since the election, bushfires and coronavirus have defined Scott Morrison's leadership “Getting on with this technology work is worth doing and it will be sending us in the right direction,” he said.
😂😂😂😂 SBS is now the Australian. Over the past 2 days the headline has been “Climate and renewable energy experts are cautiously terrified.” Disgusting article. 🙄
And stop selling our river water it's not own by any one ...
Climate experts, bahahahaha
Literally anything the state does is a political response. Media selected 'experts' are invariably lying parasites and fools.

Government's tech roadmap reveals its talent for wasting timePrime Minister Scott Morrison is catching up on ideas he dismissed just a year ago, but he has to bring his backbenchers with him. CroweDM just a PR marketing gimmick After all that is all PM is a snake oil salesman CroweDM Remember the Clean Energy Target and the National Energy Guarantee that were meant to solve the emissions challenge in the last term of Parliament? It was a just a PR slogans to do nothing n giving subsidy to polluters A CON JOB CroweDM Don’t tell me... anything to do with 5G & IoT?

Federal Government releases emissions technology investment roadmap, backing gas and a shift towards renewables - ABC NewsEnergy Minister Angus Taylor releases the Government's 'roadmap' for Australia's future energy, prioritising investments in technology 'that will bring down emissions and support jobs growth'. Morons rusted onto fossil fuels. Loud grid can’t handle too many renewables! We need the power to shut them down!” Fix the grid stupid! We don’t need toy power plants. We need the real thing. Build HELE coal plants and some nuclear. mjrowland68 LisaMillar AlanKohler AngusTaylorMP Dom_Perrottet Australia East Coast gas? In decline. So much gas was squandered in LNG exports since JohnHoward's totally flawed energy white paper of June 2004

Government listening to science on both coronavirus and climate change, Angus Taylor saysEnergy Minister Angus Taylor sees no difference with how the coalition has dealt with climate change and coronavirus in regards to listening to scientific advice. 🤣😂😥 Surely more evidence he shouldn't be Energy Minister then. I'm frankly surprised the energy minister can hear anything anyone says given just how far his head is wedged up his own ass.

Coalition pushes gas over coal in energy roadmap but critics say it will drive climate changeEnergy Minister Angus Taylor says technology not taxes will form Australia's plans for power generation and emissions reduction and he highlights gas as crucial. But critics warn gas is a poor choice. But our taxes will be funneled to big emitters! Is this technology the non existent carbon capture and store? Is this notional technology? 🤔 Short term I'd go gas. Take up the load while some large scale nuclear plants are built

Govt not walking away from coal: Taylor | Sky News AustraliaEnergy Minister Angus Taylor says the government is not walking away from coal, telling Sky News his energy roadmap is all about “balance”. \n\nThe report pointed to domestic gas, hydrogen, carbon capture and storage and even small-scale nuclear reactors in its transition towards renewable energy.\n\nMinister Taylor talked up the need to continue to maximise the lives of existing coal-fired power insisting they would continue to play an important role in the energy mix. \n\n“We do talk about low emissions and high-efficiency coal and gas in the report and it's important technology that has been playing a role in Australia until now and it will continue to play an important role,” he said. \n\n“A balance of technologies is the key here. Whether it’s technologies in existing fuel like lower emissions and high-efficiency coal and gas or using new fuels which have enormous potential like hydrogen.” \n\nOn the potential for new coal-fired projects, Mr Taylor pointed to the Collinsville feasibility study. \n\n“We're doing a feasibility study now ... ultimately the answer here is balance, many horses in this race across many different sectors,” he said. \n geoffrey_payne AngusTaylorMP Where are the renewables?
