The popular 19th century lamp fuel forms the centrepiece of the Government’s 2050 technology roadmap.
The Morrison Government has today signalled plans to shift investment from wind and solar to whale oil as part of a “bottom up” strategy to reduce emissions by 2050.
In a speech to an economic thinktank, Energy Minister Angus Taylor said he wants Australia to “lead the world” in resurrecting the long defunct, destructive, and highly unethical fuel.
“So called energy experts argue that we can transition to net zero emissions with existing technologies and buy into the conspiracy theory that Australia has super abundant wind and sun.”
“To them I say, have you thought about whale farms?”
