There are, however, some valid arguments against diversification. Coal is considered as a main source of energy in Australia it is largely available and it meets the national demands. Australia is also exporting black coal to other countries, which also contributes to the economy. Sinclair (2009) states that the experts estimate that Australian has a sufficient amount of black coal that will meet the national demand till the 21 century and beyond. He also asserts that replacing such a primary energy sources like coal would damage the Australian economy. In addition, the advanced technology today has decreased the negative impact of coal on the environment. The Australian coal Association (2011) mentions new technology called (CCD) that can be a solution to the greenhouse gas emission by capturing carbon and storing it safely underground.
In conclusion, there are important arguments both for and against the case for pursuing diversification of energy sources in Australia. Although Australian economy is depending on fossil fuel energy, it has also many disadvantages on the environment.to solve this problem a future plan
