Imitando a Rajoy y al PP, Australia pone zancadillas a la eólica y a la energía solar, y no quiere frenar sus enormes emisiones de CO2. En paralelo se aplaza el anuncio sobre sus objetivos para la reducción de gases contaminantes a después del año 2020. The Guardian (inglés) confirma que la

He argued the move was payback for the solar industry’s successful campaign to keep small-scale solar power in the renewable energy target (RET).
“This certainly smells like revenge politics,” Grimes said, adding it was the government’s “backdoor” way of strangling solar power."
