Gives a boost to renewables, but increases import bills, reduces diversity & makes it harder to combat climate change

By 2035, compared with the New Policies Scenario: coal demand increases by twice Australia’s steam coal exports

natural gas demand increases by two-thirds Russia’s natural gas net exports

power- sector CO2 emissions increase by 6.2%
