Albanese vows to make Australia a renewable energy 'superpower'
by AFP Staff Writers
Sydney (AFP) May 21, 2022

Australia's opposition leader Anthony Albanese vowed Saturday to make the country a renewable energy "superpower", after claiming victory in national elections.

"We can take advantage of the opportunity for Australia to be a renewable energy superpower," said the centre-left Labor Party leader.

Albanese has promised to cut carbon emissions by 43 percent by 2030 from 2005 levels, boost renewables, offer discounts for electric cars, and help build community-owned solar power and battery projects.

His party also plans to tighten up a mechanism to ensure polluters keep their emissions below historical levels.

But Labor has made no promise to close coal mines in the fossil fuel-dependent nation.
