I am not sure that I ever saw petrol powered bicycles, but hybrid and full EV are certainly tomorrow’s transport options, rather than yesterday’s.
It was good to see Bill Gates meeting with Albo this week to politely inform him that gas is a good stepping stone towards a lower carbon future. Especially in Australia where societal misinformation and scare mongering about nuclear has the green lobby firmly against the cleanest, most abundant, [and arguably safest], fuel we have available (nuclear power!)… madness!
It is really hard to see how we will generate base load electrical power for the next ~50 years without coal paying a significant role. Gas is a sensible, and politically manageable part of the answer.
Personally I think we are mad not to pursue nuclear, but given our societal groupthink about nuclear, I can’t see any politician having the balls to go down that path in my lifetime.
