Publisher Description
The fog of Australian politics on climate change has obscured a fateful reality: Australia has the potential to be an economic superpower of the future post-carbon world.
We have unparalleled renewable energy resources. We also have the necessary scientific skills. Australia could be the natural home for an increasing proportion of global industry. But how do we make this happen?
In this crisp, compelling book, Australia’s leading thinker about climate and energy policy offers a road map for progress, covering energy, transport, agriculture, the international scene and more. Rich in ideas and practical optimism, Superpower is a crucial, timely contribution to this country’s future.

SUPER-POWER
Let me be among the first to offer my congratulations to Prof Ross Garnaut on this book which I know you will be talking about tonight on Q & A (11/11/19). I have a number of of qualifications, but economics is not one of them. Nevertheless I was able to understand most of the material in your book and it certainly came through loud and clear that taking the steps you outline to mitigate climate change is also in Australia’s economic interests. I am now feeling far more positive about Australia’s potential for responding to the climate change crisis.
