Rewiring Australia’s Dr Saul Griffith is heading to the sunny state for two special events that are sure to electrify! Come along to hear about the role households and communities play in shaping our energy and climate policy. More info and tix: https://t.co/qXJMQzotkB
On August 18, 2019, scientists will be among those who gather for a memorial atop Ok volcano in west-central #Iceland. The deceased being remembered is Okjökull—a once-iconic #glacier that was declared dead in 2014. https://t.co/IbwDha54cB #NASA#Landsat
The LNP nuclear policy is really a gas policy for the 2030s & 40s.
Coal is retiring before nuclear is ready.
The LNP want to slow the build of utility solar & wind
Gas will be required to fill the gap.
A lot of gas and a lot more emissions!

the uninformed keep saying we need to have a debate about #nuclear in australia.
actually, what we need is a common set of accepted facts.
once the facts are all on the table, the debate will take about 10 minutes.
(makes no sense here with what we know now. maybe one day?)

"There are no seats that are safe against a strong candidate with a well-funded community campaign focused on the issues of concern to voters in that electorate."
@RDNS_TAI explains why there are no more safe seats.

The future grid isn’t backed up with gas, it's backed up with batteries.
In California there's been an explosion in🔋 storage over the past 5 years - resulting in cheaper, more reliable power.
🇦🇺 must seize this opportunity to transition to clean energy.

In California, big batteries have pushed out gas and nuclear to meet evening demand peaks.
Together with renewables they’re recognised for what they are: the lowest-cost and most commercially viable source of electricity.

🚨BREAKING: MASSIVE GOOD NEWS!
The WA EPA says fossil fuel giant @WoodsideEnergy's Browse gas project on top of Scott Reef should not go ahead!
This is historic. The WA EPA rarely says no but that's how TERRIBLE this project is for our nature & climate

🤓 change in generation between 2015H1 and 2024H1 in the EU:

• hydro ⬆️ 3%
• nuclear ⬇️ 21%
• wind+solar ⬆️ 114%
(i'm having fun playing with the new @EmberClimate API. thanks @nicolasfulghum & #JamesRobinson!)
12 of our core team members forward planned our calendar of events and our candidate search process today. We have BBQs, markets, guest speakers, pub nights, walks and our first Gen Z team event by GenZ! As they said, this is “sh!t we need to care about.”

Why is a large foreign owned company (Sportsbet) getting such a big say in Australian gambling policy? Banning advertising on social media is good but…not enough. Still on TV. https://t.co/ZLuPHDHEk6
All Australians have a right to a home.
‘The economic value of housing has been ... allowed to dominate the social value of housing as a home.’
We need to do better. https://t.co/amMK1VfKRr
Just. Ban. Gambling. Ads.
It's not that hard.
We're allowing them to get into our kids' heads while their brains are still forming. We're normalising this stuff.
(Oh, and ban gambling companies from sponsoring sport, too. Same reasons.)
#auspol#gambling
This would be a very disappointing outcome. Matching the Opposition’s position is literally the least the Govt can do. Partial bans just move the ads around. The govt would miss an opportunity to show leadership and leave a legacy. #auspol#gamblingreform https://t.co/dZg8SoCcmi
Major climate action move: China will set hard targets for overall emissions from 2026
China has already (most likely) hit peak emissions this year, 6 years ahead of its 2030 goal. Hard targets will accelerate its decarbonization as it continues to add 5 large nuclear power plants in new renewables every week

What a total cop out & betrayal of the late Peta Murphy's legacy.
There is support in the parliament to implement the Murphy Review recommendations in full - not some watered down policy to appease the gambling industry.
Find some courage & end this harm
