"It would boost private investment by $25 billion a year over the next three years, helping drive productivity that adds 1-2 per cent to GDP. It would increase real after-tax wages by 1 per cent in 2022-23 and 2 per cent in 2035-36."

[Prof Ray Wills @ProfRayWills]

Wind generating a huge 777MW of total ~1850 MW

41% of WA electricity generation from wind right now

With all these new renewables,
we don't need any new coal or gas

This bears repeating in the Australian context:

"hydrogen is the worst energy carrier for building heating with a view to efficiency and infrastructure requirements"

[💧Lane Crockett @LaneCrockett]

The beginning of the end of petrol cars. Better sell your oil stocks. Volkswagen factory produces last ever combustion engine car, shifts to EVs only https://t.co/Wn5NVSTg9S

[Simon Moores @sdmoores]

Remember when we had 45 #EV battery megafactories needing 840k tonnes of lithium by 2028?

Now we have 142 Gigafactories @ 2.4TWh by 2028 needing 2m t lithium, 400k t cobalt, 1.5m t nickel, 2.9m t graphite anode, 351k t manganese

No more gas: at our house it is electric heating and cooking from now. Electrification. #CBR

[Chris Edmond @chrisedmond]

A few people have suggested I should respond directly to Professor Foster's arguments on #qanda last night rather than just saying I was appalled.

I thought the other panelists did an excellent job of explaining why her arguments were unsound. There's no need to say more.

But.

[Tristan Edis @TristanEdis]

I....AM...STAGGERED! And impressed. On the verge of a global recession and @ACCIONA_AU just throws down $2 billion on Australia's biggest wind farm. Almost twice as big as the previous biggest. In QLD which makes it doubly sweet. Some badly needed good news. Well done CleanCo.

[Greta Thunberg @GretaThunberg]

Today is #InternationalWomensDay and we recognise that women are still far from equal to men in today’s societies.
We can not have climate justice without gender equity.

And remember; what we women want today - and every day- is equality, not congratulations or celebrations.

[💧simon holmes à court 🦋 @simonahac]

here's the thing…

gillard's 'carbon tax' was actually an emissions trading scheme that by now would be linked to the european ETS.

european units are currently €23.74, or $38.32.

our farmers can save CO₂ for much less.

if not for abbott, farmers would be earning $billions.

[Climate Analytics @CA_Latest]

As #Australia reels from unprecedented bushfires, the disconnect between its vulnerability to #climate change and the inadequacy of its government's response is coming under international scrutiny.
We have produced a mountain of research on this -

Scariest graph you will see this year. Sums up why I am spending all of my time working on various aspects of the climate crisis. I meet more and more people who are leaving their jobs to focus on this. We are running out of time. #ClimateEmergency
