Australia not being number 1 should be a national shame

Australia only needs ~200GW of capacity to meet demand I believe (5882PJ --> ~1.6M GWh, 8760h/year --> 186.5GW) math might be wrong there, but even if Australia was fully solar powered it would still have only 50% of China's installed capacity.

They could be a green energy exporter. There's no reason to stop at 100%

To where? The ocean?

If there was infrastructure for electrified container vessels maybe, but even then those ships would likely use an onboard reactor.
