Why don’t we look for more oil?” Blackburn said.“That should be on the table as an option.”While Blackburn acknowledged that searching for more oil on Australian shores should be an option, he warned that increased exploration alone would not protect Australia during a major fuel crisis.“What’s missing in Australia is that overall plan of how do all these pieces in our energy system come together, not just more stocks or just go and get a bit of oil,” he said.Australian Institute of Energy fellow John Blackburn has warned drilling alone won’t solve fuel crisis. Credit: SunriseBe the first to know: Add 7NEWS as your preferred news source on GoogleWhen asked why Australia was not already utilising more of its own resources, the government pointed to mining companies returning licences because operating costs in Australia were too high.Blackburn acknowledged those commercial realities but argued resilience needed to become a national priority.He said Australia should pursue a multi-pronged energy strategy including renewable fuels, bioenergy, ethanol, gas-to-liquids technology, and domestic oil and gas production.But Blackburn warned the country’s logistical weaknesses remained a major concern.“Even if we’re producing all this extra stuff ourselves, if we can’t have control of how it’s moved around and shipped, which we don’t have, then we’re not going to achieve too much because you can’t move it by rail in Australia now. We’re down to two refineries, and we have no ships,” he said.Blackburn is calling for a comprehensive national energy security assessment, noting the last review was conducted 15 years ago under a Labor government.The warning comes as pressure mounts on the federal government over Australia’s heavy reliance on imported fuel, with just four per cent of the nation’s transport fuels currently produced from Australian oil through Australian refineries.Blackburn said previous decisions to prioritise cheaper imported fuel had left the country exposed.He revealed that in 2015, the Department of Energy told him it did not care that Australia had no refineries, because importing refined fuel was cheaper.But he said the current crisis highlighted the danger of relying on low-cost imports without considering energy security.“There’s a very high cost to cheap when you’re in a crisis. So it is worth us considering paying that extra amount to make sure we can find more oil and gas that we can control ourselves,” he said.“It’s not necessarily about the cheapest source, it’s about the most resilient source, because without energy we stop.”China talks ‘not what Trump wants to hear’ amid Hormuz stalemate2 min readCoalition targets Centrelink payments for immigrants in budget response2 min read","kind":"highlight","is_publish_news":true,"is_publish_highlight":false,"is_publish_live":false,"is_publish_wemedia":null,"editions":null,"column":"","sentiment":"0","news_tag":"","news_rank":0,"isVideo":false,"video":null,"symbols":[],"gpt_button":0,"need_auth":false,"need_login_tip":false,"code":"91000000","status":"200"},"commentList":[],"isCommentEnd":true,"newsSizeData":{"likeSize":0,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"favoriteSize":0,"likeStatus":false,"favoriteStatus":false},"APP":{"userAgent":"Mozilla/5.0 AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko; compatible; ClaudeBot/1.0; +claudebot@anthropic.com)","isDev":false,"isTTM":true,"tenantId":"TBGLOBAL","deviceId":"web-server-community-laohu8-v3","version":"4.42.2","shortVersion":"4.42.2","platform":"web","vendor":"web","appName":"ttm","isIOS":false,"isAndroid":false,"isTiger":false,"isTHS":false,"isWeiXin":false,"isWeiXinMini":false,"isWeiBo":false,"isQQ":false,"isBaiduSwan":false,"isBaiduBox":false,"isDingTalk":false,"isToutiao":false,"isOnePlus":false,"isHuaWei":false,"isXiaomi":false,"isXiaomiWebView":false,"isOppo":false,"isVivo":false,"isSamsung":false,"isMobile":false},"href":"/m/news/2636042770","isCrawlerRequest":true}
