I mean, basically almost all major cities are near coasts, so there's no reason beyond NIMBYs to not do Wind Power as well…

It should be obvious to government regulators that there is no need for any new gas and coal licenses to be issued - no matter to whom and no matter where. Coal and gas resources will very soon become stranded assetts. Let's hope our Superannutaion funds get out of them sooner rather than later.

This chart corresponds pretty directly to this view, in case anybody wants to dig into the data further: https://explore.openelectricity.org.au/energy/nem/?range=all-12-mth-rolling&interval=1M&view=discrete-time&group=Coal%2FGas%2FRenewables
