Superpower - Australia's Low-Carbon Opportunity was authored by Ross Garnaut and published in 2019. It's current location is Bryce's Main Bookshelf.
The fog of Australian politics on climate change has obscured a fateful reality: Australia has the potential to be an economic superpower of the future post-carbon world.
We have unparalleled renewable energy resources. We also have the necessary scientific skills. Australia could be the natural home for an increasing proportion of global industry. But how do we make this happen?
In this crisp, compelling book, Australia’s leading thinker about climate and energy policy offers a road map for progress, covering energy, transport, agriculture, the international scene and more. Rich in ideas and practical optimism, Superpower is a crucial, timely contribution to this country’s future.
Ross Garnaut, the economist who wrote the 2008 Garnaut Climate Change Review for the Australian government, explores Australia's unique low-carbon opportunity in this book. He envisions Australia becoming a global superpower of industry with processes like aluminum smelting and production of hydrogen having natural homes in an Australia powered by low-cost renewable energy. A great book if you love the nerdy specifics of climate policy and Australia's low-emissions future.
