Solar is so impossibly wildly economic in Australia. How about they do our species and ecology a favor, not kill us all, leave it in the ground – and take the solar trillions instead.

What’s the point of me trying to keep my emissions as low as possible ,it’s just worthless .

At least natural gas is way cleaner than running coal or oil to create energy… it may be the most viable option of the 20xx

Bad news for other gas producers I guess. Why buy from them when Australia practically gives it away for free.

Fuck. More cheap CO2 in the air, not to mention leaked methane.

400 years’ worth of gas. What could possibly go wrong?
Anyway, I expect only a tiny fraction of this gargantuan reserve will ever be extracted. The world is going electric via solar/wind/batteries, and gas will be largely obsolete by 2050-60.

In the long run, I doubt much of this will make it out of the ground. Solar and wind with storage are on a price trajectory that will lock out pretty much everything else within a few years.

What a great idea, let’s burn gas for the next 400 years!! /s

Thought Australia was moving to renewable energy by 2050, so why the talk of a 400 year gas supply.

Lovely, more CO2, just what we need <3
EDIT: Methane, not CO2, my mistake.

Australia will be uninhabitable long before it all gets burned up.

Exploration and extraction companies jacking up their stock with BS?
That never happens. /s

Until someone figures out a way around the Haber-Bosch process it’s nice to know there’s a bunch of CH4 in the ground. Eating is nice.

Australia should put up wind turbines and solar panels. Leave the carbon in the ground.

Great. I’d rather buy gas from them than russia or uae. This can potentially help lower gas prices across the board and give us some more stability.

That’s good. Let’s burn more shit as your only natural attraction that’s not in the middle of a desert dies

Australia is kinda hilarious. It’s constantly being focused on as having the worst outcome from climate catastrophe.
Yet it is entirely of its own doing.
It will feel the brunt first and more intensely before most other countries. And yet it pretty much relies on Fossil fuels. Its previous ruler had stakes in fossil fuel companies. Just utter bullshit.
Normal humans will die because of the sheer greed of the ruling class.

Or until liberals figure out how to ban it…..whichever comes first.

It’s preferable to coal but Australia will go into the history books as one of the most disproportionally polluting the world.
This while as others have said Australia will bear the brunt of the climate crisis.

400 years of emissions.
Why would Australia need gas that long?
Oh fucking boy
fuck the world it’s the last thing we need
Leave it in the ground.
