Australia's main opposition party has said that it will not pretend that the current emissions target by 2030 is achievable if they are elected.

Australia ’s main opposition Liberal Party will not pretend that the current target to reduce greenhouse gas emissions is achievable and will not pursue the current government’s emissions goal for 2030 if elected, a senior Liberal Party official has said.

” The 82% renewables in power generation by 2030 is a centerpiece of Labor’s plans, but this requires 4.5 gigawatts GW of additional industrial-scale wind and solar to be installed every year. Last year, less than one-third of this was delivered, O’Brien noted. “Undeterred, Labor is forcing the closure of 90 percent of our 24/7 baseload power within a decade – closing one system before another is ready,” he said.
