Modern electric appliance are very efficient. The average Australian household with all electric appliances, solar and one EV can save over $4000 per year compared to a gas and petrol powered household. #HeatPumps #SolarPV #SaveOnEnergyBills

Clean energy has multiple benefits, not just driving down wholesale costs and emissions, but improving infrastructure and adding jobs.

Nuclear would increase our emissions by 2 billion tons - a massive amount, the same as 200 years worth of domestic emissions.. Check out this ABC article on the Climate Change Authorities findings www.abc.net.au/news/2025-02...

Your power bill will double under Dutton Got Solar? your power bills will double under Dutton. Get the facts - solar saves, nuclear costs.

Did you know that nuclear power will switch off solar in 4 million Australian homes? Power bills for solar homes will go up more than $1,100, and an average of $665 a year for non-solar homes. Help me spread the word - Solar Saves, Nuclear Costs. www.doubleunderdutton.com.au

Around 10% of the world’s inland reservoirs could host 22 TW of floating PV An international research team has assessed the worldwide status and potential of inland floating photovoltaic (FPV) installations, including analysis of the use of trackers and bifacial solar panels.

Floating #solar PV has huge potential, saves water!
β€œinstalling FPV on 10% of the area of 249,717 inland reservoirs, FPV capacity could reach up to 22 TW and could fulfill the whole global electricity consumption and up to 5% of the world’s water demand.”

Heat pumps: how to reduce your carbon footprint while saving money this winter The rest of the world has already fallen in love with the β€˜magic’ technology, but Australians are only just starting to catch on

Heat pumps can pull heat in or take it out in summer!
"Heat pumps are sometimes described as a β€œreverse fridge”, as they use a mixture of evaporation and condensation to transfer heat from outside a building to the inside – even in cold weather."

Heat pumps offer vast energy efficiency gains.

They are 4x more efficient than gas boilers.

No Australian should be left behind: HECs style electrification finance would save on energy cost & emissions "if Australian houses and cars were electrified and powered by renewable energy, we would eliminate 25% of our nation’s carbon emissions." #auspol www.rewiringaustralia.org/blog/electri...

IEEFA has calculated the LNP's nuclear plans would add $600 to household energy bills.
However if you have solar you are likely to have your rooftop PV regularly turned off. Your energy bills would more than double from $1000 on average to well over $2000/year. smartenergy.org.au/solarstopper...
