Australia's Present Energy Sources
Our Current OptionsAs I said earlier, Coal is our main source. There are coal mines and coal stations all around Australia. We export and Import coal. In order of which sources pollute the most carbon dioxide, it is Energy (41%), Electricity (35.5%), Agriculture (16%), Industrial processes (5%) and Waste (2%).
But coal is not a renewable source, so it is very bad for the environment. It is so bad in-fact, that it wastes more than it produces. |
