Windfall

<p>We've had a decade of distraction and inaction on climate change but what made things go so very wrong in Australia? And what can the rest of the world learn from our mistakes – and opportunities?</p><p>In <em>Windfall</em> renewable energy expert Ketan Joshi examines how wind power inspired the creation of a weird fabricated disease and why the speed with which emissions could have been reduced — like putting a price on carbon — was hampered by a flurry of policy disasters. He then plots a way forward to a future where communities champion equitable new clean tech projects where Australia grows past a reliance on toxic fuels and where the power of people is used to rattle fossil fuel advocates from their complacency.</p><p>Renewable energy can become a key player in the effort to upgrade our species from one on a path to self-destruction to a path of sustainability and fairness. With the knowledge of how the last decade was lost the next decade can work the way it's meant to.</p>
