makes you think when Bill Gates talks about developed countries switching their energy sources and reducing CO2 Emissions at the 15 minute mark.

Even with the introduction of emission laws in Australia it’s still not to the level where it should be.
Be interesting to see if we really meet the report card of 2020 and 2050
