Labor says there is still a way to go before Tesla boss Elon Musk’s “exciting” proposal to fix South Australia’s energy crisis can become reality. Musk has already spoken with the South Australian premier, Jay Weatherill, about his plan. The Greens senator Sarah Hanson-Young believes battery technology would be the game-changer South Australia needs to solve its energy woes. Noting the prime minister, Malcolm Turnbull, is having an energy “crisis meeting” this week, Di Natale said it just showed governments had been asleep at the wheel. “We are having crisis meetings about a crisis that has been unfolding for decades,” he said.
