Australians demand more domestic fuel production

from Sunrise · host LiSTNR

New polling shows 71% of Australians support increasing domestic oil and gas production as the Strait of Hormuz blockade disrupts fuel supplies. Currently only 4% of Australia's transport fuels come from domestic oil through Australian refineries, with most refineries having closed due to high operating costs. Energy expert John Blackburn argues Australia needs an integrated national energy plan that considers exploration of domestic resources, renewable alternatives like bioenergy and ethanol, and the logistics infrastructure required to move fuel supplies around the country.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
