Is this Australia’s moment to embrace renewables? Ask Adam Morton your questions now

The Guardian Australia is hosting a Q&A session with climate and environment editor Adam Morton to discuss whether current global events present an opportunity for Australia to embrace renewable energy. The discussion is prompted by the recent surge in fossil fuel prices following the war in the Middle East, mirroring the impact of the Russia-Ukraine war on gas prices. This fuel crisis has increased interest in electric vehicles. The conversation will also likely address a recent report highlighting the significant fossil fuel subsidies provided by Australian federal and state governments, totaling A$16.3 billion this financial year. The Q&A aims to explore if these circumstances create a compelling case for Australia to shift its energy focus.
