The Australian’s Environment Editor Graham Lloyd says Victoria could soon be burning diesel as the state’s gas levels are running low.

The remarks follow warnings of a potential shortfall as soon as 2025 as a result of anti-gas policies.

“The warnings are coming thick and fast that that’s where things are heading,” Mr Lloyd told Sky News Australia host Steve Price.

“We’re getting to the situation where gas is running low so we’re going to be burning diesel fuel instead.

“To argue against the emissions of something we end up creating more emissions, burning something else.

“These are the unintended consequences of trying to have an outcome without having a proper road map to get there."
