Australian cabinet compromises on renewable energy target

5/8/2015

The Federal Cabinet of Australia has agreed to lower the target percentage of renewable energy generated in light of the current economy. The original plan was to have 20% of Australia's energy be provided by renewable energy by 2020. This would have supplied 41,000 gigawatt hours. 

Since the target goal was made however the demand of energy has fallen. The opposition to this plan has said that if the target is not cut industry jobs are at risk. The new proposed number is 33,000 gigawatts after higher numbers were argued. The new number would still double Australia's current wind power generation. The percentage of the renewable energy power generation would also rise to 25%. 

Do you think that nations should change their renewable energy goals to reflect current economic trends or does changing these goals hurt the overall mission of providing more renewable energy?
