Yes, but an undersea cable is just one way. My colleagues at ANU also
looking at Hydrogen Fuels and Renewable Refining of Metal Ores. Also
they are looking at Indigenous Community Engagement (you can't just go
an cover someone's land in solar panels) and Renewable Energy Policy and
Governance in the Asia-Pacific (you can't just turn up with gigawatts of
power and try to sell it).

ps: Even before COVID-19 the project was making use of video
conferencing. It was fascinating to talk to the researchers located in
indigenous communities in northern Australia. Their role is important as
you can't just turn up and tell the locals you are going to build a huge
power station in their community and it will be good for them. They have
been lied to repeatedly about such projects for hundreds of years.
