The majority of Australia\u2019s \u2018baseload\u2019 energy comes from high polluting coal-fired generatorsof which 75% are already beyond their intended operating life.<\/p>\n<p>\u2022 To enjoy clean air and reduce carbon pollution Australia will need to shift to 100% renewable energy by 2035. This is possible, affordable and desirable.<\/p>\n<p>\u2022 The concept of \u2018baseload\u2019 power becomes redundant under a 100% renewable energy grid. Current technology could allow Australians to keep the lights on 24\/7 using only renewable energy. Emerging battery storage can make this process smoother and cheaper.<\/p>\n<p>\u2022 Major figure heads of international energy companies within some of Australia\u2019s largest trading partners acknowledge there will be no need for \u2018baseload\u2019 power as we know it today. Achieving 100% renewable energy is already a reality in some countries.<\/p>\n<p>\u2022 With key market reforms in place to manage the energy transition, Australians can comfortably let go of the mindset of \u2018baseload\u2019 and have confidence in a modern, reliable, renewable energy sector powering our future.<\/p>\n<p><strong><a href=\"http:\/\/zoldenergiablog.hu\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/06\/fs096_beyond_baseload_100_per_cent_renewable_energy_in_australia_08jun16.pdf\">Download the report.<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Source: <a href=\"http:\/\/www.wwf.org.au\/\">http:\/\/www.wwf.org.au\/<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A new report released by WWF-Australia says Australia can be powered on 100% renewables with the same levels of reliability that we enjoy today.
