Energy in Australia Historically–and until recent times–energy in Australia was sourced largely from coal and natural gas,[1] however due to the increasing effects of global warming and human-induced climate change on the global environment, there has been a greater shift towards renewable energy such as solar power and wind power both in Australia and abroad.[2][3] This in turn has led to a decrease in the demand of coal worldwide.[4]
