As the world is transitioning away from fossil fuels, Australian mining companies are betting their future on the continent's plentiful reserves of Lithium (1/4th of global reserves) and other minerals necessary for the production of batteries, wind turbines and solar panels.

Good for them. If people spent less time resisting the future and more time embracing it, we’d be a lot further along

Please Australia save the world from our China dependency

Unfortunately Australian conservatives have been fighting the future for decades to prop up the coal mining companies.

Lol, Australia is an export only place. We don't use our resources to build anything.

You Aussies dont need that many batteries 🤨

Australia would be stupid to continue banning nuclear power when Australia has the world's largest supply of Uranium. Canada's modest nuclear program gave them their entirely domestic CANDU reactor which, while not as efficient as American designs, has less proliferation concerns which makes it more popular worldwide. It also has it's entire supply chain within Canada.

Agree Australia should embrace nuclear power

Wish we did but we’re not smart. That’s what just selling dirt to China for decades will do to a brain.

China is the biggest importer of Australian resources I do not think so.

Australia is one of the world's biggest coal exporters.

Actually, it probably is.

It imports a huge amount of iron and coal.
