Sunshine State Sets Sights on Clean Energy Crown, But Opposition Casts Shadow of Doubt

The Great Barrier Reef is a global treasure, but climate change casts a long shadow over its vibrant coral. That's why Queensland, Australia's sunshine state, is making a big splash with ambitious new climate goals!

Queensland just passed groundbreaking legislation, locking in targets to slash greenhouse gas emissions by 75% by 2035 and achieve net zero emissions by 2050. That's a massive leap forward, aiming to keep global temperatures in check and protect the iconic reef.

To achieve these goals, Queensland is betting big on renewable energy. They've set clear targets: 50% renewable energy by 2030, 70% by 2032, and a whopping 80% by 2035! Imagine powering your home with sunshine – that's the future Queensland is aiming for.
