Australia could miss clean energy target as solar and wind investment slumps, investors warn Expert warns large pipeline of potential projects will not deliver required energy capacity unless companies make final investments

Remarkable to see this finally being uttered out loud but I'm wondering why it took half a decade (including three years under the Labor gov't) for it to be even acknowledged as a problem.

The Free Market sucks at causing a rapid energy transition. Gov't policy can potentially not suck.

“Absolutely. But the arrogance to promote someone with full culpability for the horrendous suffering that comes from being trapped fighting to save your kids in a car as it’s set on fire.”

I know. Lets promote the negligent motherfucker

Renewable energy hits half the grid as Coalition scaremongering hits overdrive - Michael West While the Coalition and Murdoch media ramp up their campaign against renewable energy, renewables set yet another record - 50.1% of the grid

Today. Renewable energy more than half the electricity grid for the first time, despite Coalition/Murdoch fear campaign
(data also proves solar & wind far cheaper than coal & gas)

'Tipping the balance: Cheaper electricity is needed to drive clean heating'

Our brand new globally focussed paper looks at the role of energy pricing in delivering clean heat uptake and provides examples of what has been done to reduce electricity prices.

Australian oil and gas producer Santos' Moomba carbon capture and storage project has received the largest single Australian Carbon Credit Units issuance, bringing in fresh supply into the market, although market participants said the credits were unlikely to be offloaded into the secondary market. The credits issued under the carbon capture and storage method covered the project's first six months, as per Santos's media release, Nov. 3. Australia's Clean Energy Regulator confirmed in a press release by the regulator Nov. 3, 614,133 ACCUs were allocated to Santos for September 2024 to March 2025. The scale of issuance was expected to stir the ACCUs market, but market participants said they observed a surprising lack of reaction. "I expected the market to come off a little, but it hasn't really," a Sydney-based ACCU trader said, commenting on the impact of the announcement on ACCUs spot market.

CONGRATS to Australian fossil fuel company Santos, which has been granted 614,133 carbon offsets for its new CCS facility.

Assuming a price of $37, that's $22m AUD in profits if they sell the CCS offsets. Or 600k tonnes of fake "neutralisation" if they claim it for themselves.

Which is something younger Australians — particularly those brought up on a relentless doom-feed of climate change worry — might take some solace in. Overhauling the EPBC Act has been no small feat. It follows years, if not decades, of campaigning by a relatively small group of environmentalists. Their efforts are evidence that showing up and persistence can succeed. There are those who say the reforms fall short. Implementation is a massive body of work given every state needs to now come on board. Approvals may not speed up for good economically important projects. But should it fulfil its promise, the bill's impact on Australia's stressed and degrading environment — the habitats we pass through, recreate in, or just know they exist — may be more tangible for the lives of those younger Australians than anything happening in the climate policy space.

Political journalists are incapable of understanding climate example #290093 -> Jacob Greber from the ABC insisting that a new environmental law that ignores climate should provide 'solace' to 'doom-fed' young people

“For global warming, organisms can migrate towards the poles if they’re really lucky, but ocean acidification is everywhere. It’s absolutely pervasive and totally underreported. The sea is already 30 per cent more acidic than it was in pre-industrial times.”

newsGP - Australia set for world-first cervical cancer elimination Vaccination programs have played a key role, and GPs remain ‘instrumental’ in boosting screening rates to reach the 2035 target.

Australia recorded ZERO cases of cervical cancer in women under 25 for the first time since they started tracking the cancer in the 80s.

This is the power of vaccines.

The HPV vaccine is extremely effective at preventing cancer.

Viruses can be oncogenic. Get your vaccines and protect yourself!

Did you know the definition of ‘housing stress’ is when 30% of your household income is taken up by your rent or mortgage?

This isn’t normal.

"Welfare recipients have a right to be treated equally under the law, and should not be subject to punishment before having access to legal advice for any reason, ever. This heinous new law must be reversed."

This is an appalling law that will further criminalise poverty.

Iran’s president says moving capital ‘an obligation’ as Tehran sinks Ground subsidence and water scarcity in Tehran may necessitate moving the Iranian capital to a different region, the country's leader said this week

Iran is likely to be forced to relocate the country’s capital, as Tehran suffers critical water shortages & irreversible subsidence from over-extraction of artesian water.
This is the real social & economic impact of climate change.
