Thread: Each week I run a simulation of Australiaโ€™s main electricity grid using rescaled generation data to show that it can get very close to 100% renewable electricity with 24GW/120GWh of storage (5 hrs at av demand)
Results:
Last week: 100.0% RE
Last 232 weeks: 98.6% RE (1/5)

Quick, someone tell @alankohler.bsky.social , he's been banging the "immigrants are taking your houses" on the national broadcaster for ages.

The graphs rarely show vacant dwellings, for some reason.

Campaign group behind attack ads on Labor, Greens and teal candidates was funded by coal industry lobby Australians for Prosperity received most of its funding last financial year from Coal Australia, according to disclosures made to the Australian Electoral Commission

"Australians for Prosperity" was almost entirely funded by $3.68 million in donations from industry lobby group Coal Australia during the last election www.theguardian.com/australia-ne...

We moved in the Senate for the Albanese government to withdraw the invitation to Israelโ€™s President Herzog to visit Australia. He has literally signed bombs used in the genocide in Gaza. Labor, the Liberals and One Nation joined together to vote it down. That tells you everything

Almost $4 million in fossil fuel money went to the major parties in the lead up to (and just after) the 2025 federal election.

Big donations from the Minerals Council, Adani, Chevron, Santos, Hancock and Woodside.

Was asked to age verify for the first time in this app. Fair enough. Realised I wasn't comfortable giving any of the three evidence. So I stay un age verified.

Being asked if I'm a senior and a minor in the same week is a bit of a tickle though.

Bicycle road rules

As a commuter cyclist, I'm horrified. Your move would be illegal where I live:

"You must not ride on the left-hand side of a vehicle that's already turning left at an intersection"

I remember watching this segment on the news and thinking "Wow, this is actually quite good. Any minute now he's going to mention the cause of the climate change." but no, he didn't โ˜น๏ธ

Unusually for Australia, he actually emphasises Climate Change and not just weather extremes though.

Australia just booked record heat, fires and unprecedented floods *last month*, but the only party serious about addressing climate change went . . . backwards.

We love a good disaster, apparently.

Sulphur dioxide (SO2) would be part of the sour gas removal and disposal circuit, which also separates and vents CO2 contained in the raw produced gas. Separated H2S is typically converted to elemental sulphur for sale, via the Claus process, which produces SO2 as an intermediate product.

Rock is a fair bit heavier than water, so there's that. I'd be trying to locate it over a joist/bearer junction to be sure no weird buckling happens in an adjacent area.

Inpex and Australiaโ€™s gas rip-off. Billions in revenue, crumbs in tax - Michael West An investigation into Inpex, and its gigantic Ichthys gas project, reveals systemic failure of Australia's tax system and corporate ruses.

โ€œโ€ฆATO transparency data, INPEXโ€™s Australian entities have booked more than $36 billion in revenue over the past 11 financial years. Over that same period, they have paid less than $500 million in corporate income tax. In many years, they paid nothing at all.โ€

Device allegedly thrown into Invasion Day crowd designed to 'explode on impact', say police A 31-year-old man is charged with making explosives in suspicious circumstances after a device was allegedly thrown into a crowd of hundreds of people attending an Invasion Day rally in central Perth ...

White racist literally threw a bomb at black people to kill them, apparently not a sufficient cause to have a moral panic, special envoy, national introspection, royal commission, terrorism declaration, new laws, 1,000 op-eds in The Australian. We're struggling to identify why that might be.

If you think coal and gas corporates like Woodside, Chervron, INPEX and Glencore, who are fuelling these disasters should pay the costsโ€ฆinstead of YOU!
