Part 5/12:
- Impossibility of Achieving Net Zero: No developed economy has successfully achieved net zero. Countries like Germany, Spain, and regions like California are struggling with the same issues Australia faces. The International Energy Agency (IEA) projects the need to triple renewable installations by 2030—an almost impossible feat given current technological and infrastructural constraints. Moreover, significant emissions reductions rely on future technologies that are still under development or conceptual, such as carbon capture and storage, advanced nuclear power, and large-scale renewable infrastructure.
