• W969335925 abstract "This thesis examines the development of renewable energy policy in Australia as aresponse to climate change. Premised on the fact that climate change is a manifestationof humanity currently not living within sustainable limits, and that climate change is aglobal issue requiring a global response, the development of renewable energyalternatives to electricity supply is envisaged to play an increasing role in a carbonconstrained world.In response to international efforts supporting the United Nations Framework Conventionon Climate Change, and to address notoriety gained from being one the highestgreenhouse gas emitters in the world, the Commonwealth of Australia, initiated measuresto facilitate greenhouse gas abatement. Australia set global precedents by taking the leadthrough the establishment of the Australian Greenhouse Office and the implementation ofthe Renewable Energy (Electricity) Act 2000. The Act effectively launched an era ofrenewable energy activity in Australia associated with wind, solar, biomass, geothermaland hydro power developments.While ostensibly Australia's political climate should have provided extremely favourableconditions for the development of renewable energy solutions this has not proved to bethe case. To find out what has positively influenced, or oppositely constrained,developments in Australia this study set out to address two main aims. First, todetermine international and Commonwealth of Australia factors influencing renewableenergy policy developments in Australia. Second, to assess whether or not theCommonwealth is serious about developing renewable energy resources in Australia.International and Commonwealth processes that have influenced renewable energy policydevelopments were investigated through a search and review of available literature andreports. The advancement of climate change policies and associated growth of renewableenergy developments were traced from the 1970s until 2003. Key issues and debates inAustralia were identified through reports and a detailed examination and assessment ofthe Commonwealth Government's Parliamentary Debates from February 1997 until December 2003. Information drawn from 948 Hansards was gathered and thematicallyanalysed to identify the main facets of political discussion.A number of issues were identified as effecting Australia's renewable energydevelopments. Australia's position as the world's largest per capita greenhouse gasemitter and the Commonwealth Government's refusal to ratify the Kyoto Protocol arefactors of international imp01iance. So too is the alliance between Australia and theUnited States of America regarding climate change related initiatives. Insecuritysunounding the nature and longevity of the sole mandatory response to global climatechange, in the form of the Renewable Energy (Electricity) Act 2000 and its MandatoryRenewable Energy Target, can be considered to be the most influential factor impactingon renewable energy developments in Australia. The Commonwealth Government'sfocus on cleaner coal technology and geosequestration at the expense of renewableenergy research and development also has significant short and long term implications.Ineffective allocation of budgets, the existence of a strong fossil fuel lobby and theabsence of a national energy policy all contribute to a milieu not conducive to successfuldevelopment and implementation of renewable energy initiatives.Based on a review of these key issues the study concludes that, despite the imminence ofclimate change and the knowledge that deep cuts in greenhouse gas emissions of up to5 0-60 per cent this century are envisaged, the development of renewable energyalternatives to fossil fuel derived electricity sources has been restricted by the AustralianCommonwealth Government. The conclusion is, Australia has not implemented thepolicies and practices that are required to encourage increased investment and provide theopportunity for renewable energy industries to grow. Australia does not have arenewable energy policy and is not serious about developing its renewable energyresources." @default.
