Looking forward to her statement on the neo-Nazi gathering outside the NSW Parliament.

What a profound failure of imagination and principle for Labor to back in this utterly wrong-headed AUKUS business.

Please pass this on to the Labor Political Party!

Yes, this story is a thing of beauty! PM dragged in, story spreading everywhere and the boot definitely ends up on Pocock's foot with his conditions for rejoining. A true bright spot in the day!

Chris - I adjust my late afternoon walk length to the show's duration - this episode will literally as well as metaphorically take me to places I've never been!

Sorry Labor, it's no good having your ❤️ in the right place if it's stopped beating.

Big turnout for Palestine march in Brisbane today!

Great turnout in Brisbane...

India’s ethanol roadmap off course Land is used far more efficiently generating renewable power for EV batteries than growing crops for ethanol.

In India, each km driven using bio-ethanol uses up to 250 x as much land as an equivalent EV recharged by solar - ieefa.org/resources/in...

Coal: A heavy burden on the Indian Railways Indian Railways could better serve the country’s changing economy if policymakers focus on accelerating renewable electricity generation rather than expanding the transport of coal by rail.

Transporting coal is very profitable for Indian Railways, but also an enormous problem, producing major congestion and crippling the passenger network. ieefa.org/resources/co...

Well done Anthony Klan. Simply appalling that someone funding such a destructive, biased and repulsive political lobby group should have any taxpayer-funded position of influence.

Yes, it is a significant competitor for food and fodder crops. Sugar cane was the staple for ethanol production, rice is also used and increasingly, maize, which used to be exported. Worse, compared to solar for EVs, ethanol in India is massively more land hungry - ieefa.org/articles/iee...

Ketan, you'd be thrilled to have read the editorial in today's Australian (I read at my ☕ shop to see what the other side's up to). Touting two industries for the country's future: gas and AI. Clueless.

Wondering what President Zelinsky would make of Miranda Devine's self-and-podcast-promoting, sickeningly obsequious column in Murdoch papers today: "When you meet Donald Trump, the first thing you notice is his hospitality. He is a bountiful host who always wants to make visitors feel comfortable".

I think it's much worse than overlooking them. They purposefully downplay the effect of Australia's cynicism on other governments' commitments . It isn't about our 1.3% (domestic) or ~4.5% (exports) contribution, it's also about moral and diplomatic leadership of a formerly respected middle power.

It was a great piece. Deserved to be picked up. Loved Ben Eltham's 'gas-flare on the hill', too - or was that a sub-editor? Good either way.

Labor approves Woodside's awful North West Shelf extension - to 2070, having happily accepted $1.14 million in political donations from them over the last 10 years. Speaks for itself.

Looking hard to see any sign that the Libs can forge even a show of unity, let alone the real thing. Seein' nuttin'. #auspol #4corners

NSW flooding: PM delivers climate crisis warning as damaging winds to strike flood-hit mid-north coast Anthony Albanese acknowledges home insurance now a ‘real challenge’ as government announces disaster assistance for 19 local council areas

"“Tragically, we’re seeing more extreme weather events. They’re occurring more frequently, and they’re more intense” Albanese said"

Pray tell, PM @albomp.bsky.social, will your recognition of impacts of the climate crisis translate into CEASING approvals for NEW/EXTENSIONS of Coal & Gas projects❓

Now you've made me think of this one too: made a big impression:

Geez, I remember my battered Pelican edition!

NREL studies show utility scale panels still perform at >90% of rated output after 20 years, so the replacements (which will be even more efficient, durable and inexpensive) will be much slower and more phased than you suggest. And there will be a commercial-scale panel recycling industry by then.

Even worse ratio in India, partly because of lower yields. ieefa.org/resources/in...

Just subscribed. Clear thinking and sound evidence needed more now than ever.! When I'm finished reading, I'll donate it to my local coffee shop to counterbalance the Murdoch papers!

Good sense from George. In India, with 600 million people in the rural sector, the average farm is < 1 ha, & corn, as well as sugar, is being diverted for ethanol, using ~ 200 x as much land per km of vehicle travel as would solar recharging of EVs. Fixing that would help. ieefa.org/resources/in...

Good job on this explanation, Robbie. The only thing I learnt in chemistry was how to spell 'separate'. Got it wrong in a lab report.

Looks like Harvard is standing firm. - but does a strong position punished by losing billions in fed funding represent a win, a draw, or just a different type of defeat?

"Energy is the economy", says Peter Dutton. He's right... like food supporting life, it forms the backdrop to almost everything in the economy. So why has he served us up a half-baked gas plan and a nuclear policy that's fully cooked? #auspol #energy #Australia #election
