Australia’s energy consumption fell slightly, 0.1 per cent in 2021–22 to 5,762 petajoules, thethird successive year of decreased total energy consumption. After record declines theprevious two years, energy consumption is 7 per cent below the all-time peak of6,188 petajoules reached in 2018-19

For its energy consumption, Australia is dependent on what percentage of fossil fuels?Question 15Select one:a.close to 95% of energy consumption comes from fossil fuels (argh!)b.75%, the rest comes from wind and solarc.about 50% renewable, 50% fossil fuelsd.only 55% like France because of the early adoption of nuclear in Canberra

The economic logic supporting a government-led “net zero transition” that emphasises a pivot away from fossil fuels and towards alternative, lower-emissions energy sources does NOT rest on which of the following assumptions? (Assume that the goal of the net zero transition is to increase total Australian welfare.)A.Higher emissions are causally linked with ambient surface temperatures and other climatic conditionsB.Large-scale fossil fuel energy production is cheaper and more reliable than alternative energy productionC.Changes in energy use in Australia and elsewhere will suffice to change Earth’s temperature and mitigate other climatic changes within a reasonable time frameD.Energy markets do not price in the climate externality of emissionsE.Higher surface temperatures and other climatic changes linked to emissions will be on net harmful to Australians

In recent years, what has happened to per capita energy use in the United States and other developed countries?Multiple choice question.It has increased.It has risen, but total energy use has fallen.It has fallen dramatically.It has leveled off.
