Australia's grid hit 42.1% renewable power in Q2 2026, slashing wholesale prices 47%, but a former defence chief says surging coal and gas exports are erasing those gains. Woodside's North West Shelf 40-year extension and new refinery plans lock in offshore emissions while the government avoids COP31 export limits.
