For background on why your wallet is bleeding at the petrol pump, OPEC is the cartel of oil producing countries that have held the world to ransom for the past century. If we electrify everything, the tens of billions we pay OPEC each year from Australia alone for fuel drops to zero dollars. Not one more cent to these bastards. The ultimate 'buy Australian' campaign is to electrify everything we can, and power it with renewables. And if you're still recovering from energy slogans from the past 20 years and think this means we won't have enough energy, the problem is we have way more than we need (from rooftop solar), that we can't distribute to everybody fast enough, and store in batteries and dams and hydrogen. All things we should have been building for the past decade. If we had we'd now be the Saudi Arabia of the new world. The next decade will be a race to catch up, it'll be brutal.
