    A reminder as petrol, gas & coal prices soar due to a horrible war… the price of the sunshine & wind powering 30% of our grid & all our electric vehicles… hasn’t changed. It’s still a $0 cost input. Energy independence comes from renewable abundance.

    Ok. I read all 129 pages of the pamphlet. Its not worth the paper I didn’t print it on. I understand technology damn well. This isn’t a β€œtechnology driven approach”. It’s inaction, misdirection & avoiding choices. I’m going to bed. This is just ridiculously embarrassing.

    I’m sure I’m not the first to be confused that we fund a $600m uneconomic donation for a gas power plant at Kurri Kurri that the market didn’t need or ask for… Yet we have no money for free rapid tests and β€œthe private market should cater for demand”? πŸ€·πŸΌβ€β™‚οΈ

    πŸ‡¬πŸ‡§ UK 2050 plan? 21 docs. 1868 pages. Heat & building strategy. Heat pump grants. EV incentives. End gas boilers by 2035, ICE sales by 2030! Treasury reviewed. CCC approved. Pathways for every sector to 2037. Legally binding. 5 year targets. πŸ‡¦πŸ‡Ί Aus? No plan. Just more bullshit.

    Wow. A huge day for Australia πŸ’šπŸ’› Had to sit down & take it in. This live shot couldn’t be a better metaphor for a better, greener path ahead 🌱 We embrace the opportunities of decarbonisation with Aussie courage, tenacity & creativity. Lots of work but we CAN do this πŸ‘ŠπŸ»

    Don’t back benchers have the exact same duty to disclose financial interests or donations as ministers? πŸ€·πŸΌβ€β™‚οΈ What am I missing?

    - AEMO? More gas generation not needed - CSIRO? Gas generation = expensive electricity - Economists? Gas extraction creates very few jobs - Scientists? Gas incompatible with our Paris goals - Investors? Gas has bad returns. No $. Politicians? <Ignore experts> MORE GAS! πŸ€¦πŸ»β€β™‚οΈ

    Our fire fighters don’t need thoughts & prayers - they need funds. Our scientists don’t need thoughts & prayers - they need trust. Our climate doesn’t need thoughts & prayers - it needs action & policy. Our nation doesn’t need thoughts & prayers - it needs leadership.
    Our thoughts and prayers are with those who have been so directly and horribly impacted by these fires.

    On an ordinary day, spam phone calls from Melbourne trying to get me to switch electricity providers are annoying. Tonight, they're just amusing.
