First modification:
Australia is torn between the energy transition to renewables and its status as the world’s largest coal exporter. This inconsistency has led them to support the opening of a giant mine in front of the Great Barrier Reef, while in some areas the transition to renewable energy is a reality.
In some Australian cities, the energy revolution is marching steadily forward. Aware of the footprint of fossil fuels on the health of the planet, dozens of projects and investments focus on the energy transition to definitively leave coal behind.
For environmentalists, “coal is the past” and for this reason they declare war, from activism, on the new mining projects that make their way at the cost of everything.
While in some areas the closure of mines is celebrated, in others the launch of mining projects is eagerly awaited to reactivate the economy and attack unemployment.
Australia walks between this dichotomy and its population is equally divided:
