Geologist Ian Plimer explains the American economy will "boom" under US President-elect Donald Trump's energy policy and Australia will lag behind if it doesn't follow suit.
"The American economy will boom and if the Australian economy doesn't follow suit, we are going to be lagging behind," Mr Plimer told Sky News host Rita Panahi.
"We have plenty of gas, we have plenty of coal, we have got plenty of uranium, and we just have to wake up to ourselves and use the energy which this country has."
