The truth about Australia's energy transition (Leithvo)

An extract from my latest Macro & the Mortgage Podcast with Catherine Cashmore from Land Cycle Investor.



Leith talks about Australia's drop in carbon emissions and reveals it was largely due to deindustrialisation where Australian coal is still being exported to countries whose carbon emissions have drastically increased. Why not burn this coal at home to generate cheap electricity and support domestic manufacturing? 

The video also points out that Australia is the largest importer of diesel fuel in the world, thanks to the shut down of their oil refining capability. All of this can be reversed via nationalist economic policy centred on self sufficiency.
