Australia’s trilemma of providing good, fast and cheap energy finally has a

Not quite, what is lacking are strong renewable energy industry and employee lobby groups to put the case for renewables to government. Perhaps start-up and crowdfunding techniques could be used for this.

Companies and individuals who rely on fossil fuels for their livelihood are understandably going to put pressure on politicians to oppose renewables. It is difficult for politicians to resist, in favor of jobs which do not yet exist at fledgling companies.

Perhaps the renewable industry needs new forms of networked lobby groups to represent the interests of future employers and employees. That might include using entrepreneurial start-up techniques, where potential employees and investors contribute a small amount for a possible large future return.
