I'm really famous on Tiktok. Really. I farm rocks and cattle on pasture in the Hunter Valley NSW, & try to be regen. I also dabble in software dev

@AdamCoffeyNT Have a look at Lora devices- they are well suited to this kind of thing. Goes 20km if you need. I use mine for gate opening and water levels in tanks. $0 ongoing costs.

@SatPaper Amazing article with fantastic research. Kudos to Ben & Rachel - this is precisely the kind of article I subscribe for ❤️

Carbon capture storage is a scam.

Must watch video by @GrogsGamut and @TheAusInstitute

Interesting that the colliery was fined for loss of water, the creek channel has been shattered by mine subsidence. It will never flow normally again. But what about the water pollution? Water quality in these pools is terrible!

Mining is essential for the energy transition, and the opportunity for Australia to play a leading global role is real, particularly if miners are incentivised to value-add using renewable energy to to export embodied decarbonisation. Lets distinguish miners from fossil fuels.

British farmers slandering Aussie farms with exaggerated and untruthful claims only hurts every farm.
@LizWebsterSBF please apologise and set the record straight.

Australia beef cattle are mainly grass based with only 1 in 3 animal being feedlot finished with high welfare.

What have we done to our drinking water catchment?
It’s hard to explain why, but we’ve cracked and shattered vast areas of rocks, creeks, swamps, streams and aquifers.
This legacy we are leaving is disgraceful.

@AdamCoffeyNT I'm confused about that quote. In 1st bit, if both animals had same feed intake, same result (which makes sense). But the "in other words" seems to imply there is a difference in the type of microbes that cause cattle to produce more. Can anyone enlighten me?

@Liv_Ireland @smh Maybe take a look at fire regs compliance and history by Robert Hanave. We rented L2 there for 4y, and we kept a wire rope ladder by the window because in a fire there'd be no way out otherwise

@stukhan @coonavass When I had a different Q last month about creek crossings, they seem to be no longer in charge of anything much. So it seems maybe some changes?

[Ben Still @bentalkstrash]

@stukhan @coonavass I’m thinking some kind of red wedding scenario went down between water nsw and NRAR. When i originally spoke with one of their analysts (to check orig Q) they were responsible, and confirmed they licensed top water, storage and drawing for mines in NSW

A reminder

[Australia Institute @TheAusInstitute]

Australia’s and Norway’s economies both have massively profitable resource industries, but Norwegians receive a much larger and fairer share.

It's time we taxed fossil fuels properly.

Buru's cleared 9000 miles

And plans to clear 700 more

Just to be the gas company that clears 10000 miles

And the Kimberley's beauty is no more...

How does Australia increase the small amount of $ that we get for our gas?

This former Norwegian PM talks about how Norway taxed the oil and gas industry at a rate of 78%.

Industry said it was impossible. But they agreed to the tax and still made money.

I just went to "Royal" National Park. I saw a beautiful rainforest creek choking with black coal sludge. Mining giant Peabody Coal's Mine is responsible for this. Peabody must held to account. This should be a living creek with Playful Platypus, not Peabody's Pollution.

THREAD: Does methane from cattle have the same warming impact as methane from fossil fuels? The answer is NO, but that’s the popular belief. Through science we will #rethinkmethane AND help curb the climate crisis. 1/
