Not here. Because they are noxious weeds.
X fix
Honestly … I’m not sensing the required level of urgency from the federal and state governments.
7 years is not a long time. With wall to wall Labor there should be no impediment to cooperation. They probably need to have hard year by year targets.
Same goes for 2050, particularly with regard to transport. If they really want net zero by then, then domestic air travel and motor vehicle travel will need to be down to the bare minimum.

I noticed that at the offshore wind energy conference I went to.
The 2030 goals do not seem even remotely reasonable.
And the government is lagging terribly in choosing wind farm sites.
