White House marks three years since signing of Aukus agreement
Happy three-year anniversary of the signing of Aukus, to those who observe.
Three years ago, President Biden and our Australian and United Kingdom partners committed to Aukus, an enhanced security partnership that promotes a free and open Indo-Pacific that is secure and stable.
As this partnership has grown, it has strengthened the security of our allies in the region as well as our own security here at home. Over the past three years, our countries have made significant strides in supporting Australia’s acquisition of a conventionally armed, nuclear-powered submarine capability.
That is bad news for Australian solar homes.
To create space for inflexible nuclear power plants ramming energy into the grid, millions of household solar systems will be the first casualty.
Solar power is already being switched off in South Australia when it makes so much free power available that it exceeds electricity demand.
