Queensland’s Energy Roadmap is more likely to be first steps than a completed journey

By Graham Young - posted Thursday, 30 October 2025

The report was met with initial sound and fury by a bevy of conservation and social welfare organisations with no expertise in electricity generation. This landed without much effect.

That is good. Electricity is the life-blood of modern life and should not be left to shrill conversation. The public needs to understand options and alternatives as our power system develops.

The Roadmap facilitates that and provides a basis for an incremental and transparent approach to transitioning.
