What role does consumer choice and market competition play in achieving social well-being within the context of sustainable energy development?

The article connects social well-being to green growth through sustainable development goals. It argues that the energy market's lack of consumer choice, due to long-term contracts, stifles competition and worsens energy poverty. Conversely, frequent provider switching and off-peak consumption could foster competition and improve well-being. The author emphasizes that sustainable development aims to increase social well-being, not just reduce carbon footprints.

What are the potential long-term economic and geopolitical implications of unlocking the Beetaloo Basin's gas resources for Australia?

The long-term impact of this project could be substantial. Successful flow testing and the subsequent development of a pipeline to Queensland will be essential to delivering gas to the east coast. The low carbon dioxide content of the gas makes it attractive for export markets, potentially increasing Australia's energy exports. This development underscores the significant potential of Australia's Beetaloo Basin to meet both domestic and international gas demands.
