Energy 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.

The paper builds on a survey of more than 140 technologies including hydrogen, carbon capture and storage and soil carbon sequestration."We want many horses in this race. Any horse that can win the race, we want it in there," the energy minister said.

The report also references the potential for small modular nuclear reactors while acknowledging challenges with cost, the environment and social acceptability.The roadmap, which looks at power generation and emissions in the short, medium and long-term, has been released for consultation until 21 June.

Labor's resources spokesman Joel Fitzgibbon said the government had acknowledged renewables and gas would be crucial into the future.Shadow Minister for Agriculture Joel Fitzgibbon."We'd all love coal generation to be viable in Australia with the right form of carbon mitigation, but it just hasn't happened because this government's hasn't provided a path way for it," Mr Fitzgibbon told Sky News.

the pedo with the witchcraft artifacts left human development to the last minute, flipping billions of years for oil reserves to build up so he could easier control the world. then timed the apocalyptic asteroid to his dick fully engorged from dicking kids

Best of both worlds - clean hydrogen to replace imported oil and made from Australian coal.

phbarratt Wrong gas. Chief scientist et al foreshadow huge opportunity with Hydrogen energy development. Just think - energy plus water by-product. Huge decrease in pollution, huge health benefits. Angus is proposing higher pollution impacting community health.......FW.

Short term I'd go gas. Take up the load while some large scale nuclear plants are built

Is this technology the non existent carbon capture and store? Is this notional technology? 🤔

But our taxes will be funneled to big emitters!
