The way its being communicated makes it seem that the ACT is powered by 100% solar, wind or hydro renewable energy. The reality is that about 20% of its power is still coming via coal and gas power plants, its just buying credits in renewable energy elsewhere in the country.
South Australia has been doing some good work as well. But most interesting is the state's plan to become a 100% renewable fueled "hydrogen economy". Using the renewable energy to produce hydrogen for sale and export, not for energy.
