Data centres coming for Australia’s green export superpower dream

If you find a copy of the book I published in September 2020 (hot tip: don’t publish a book several months after a pandemic has started), you’ll find a quote from Mike Cannon-Brookes, one of Australia’s biggest billionaires, on the front cover:

Wonderful! Ketan deftly contrasts the past and present of Australia’s climate challenges with our inevitably optimistic future; It is becoming an energy superpower by taking advantage of our unlimited renewable resources.

These are kind words. Cannon-Brookes has been an influential figure in Australia’s climate movement for some time.
