The things listed in the Aust/California climate change-green dreaming deal are harmless enough, and could have many benefits.
Hope they don't have any bright ideas about mandating only electric vehicles can be sold in Australia after 2030, 2035, or in their lifetimes.
Good thing brighter folks than you are running the show.

All very nice...but,
Capture it in the outback, store it in the outback...lovely.
But the People don't live in the outback, they live on the coast.
Easy you say, transmit the stored energy to the coast.
How?
By transmission lines.
But there aren't any.
Build some you say...simple.
What is in between the outback and the coast?
Farms, fertile farmland, where Australia feeds itself and parts of the world.
Family farms. Cattle, sheep, and all sorts of crops...for export and to feed the cattle and sheep.
The transmission lines have a large foot print on a farm.
As 'usual' the left doesn't understand, or doesn't want to understand, anything about farms.
"The National Farmers' Federation has vowed to oppose any widespread compulsory acquisition of farmland needed for power line corridors
"to the bitter end".
