This report provides a comprehensive overview of electrical power generation in Australia, emphasizing the dominance of fossil fuels, particularly coal, and its associated environmental impacts. It highlights that a significant portion of Australia's electricity is generated from coal, making it a cheap but non-renewable source. The report discusses the environmental and health consequences of coal-fired power plants, including air pollution and greenhouse gas emissions. It also examines the role of renewable energy sources, such as hydropower, and the government's efforts to meet the Paris Agreement targets by increasing renewable energy systems and reducing reliance on coal. The report also discusses the need for significant adjustments in the electricity sector to meet emission reduction targets, including the potential closure of coal-fired power stations and the scaling up of renewable energy sources.
