THANK YOU to everyone who attended the Banyule Clean Energy Expo on Sunday. It was a fantastic turnout! We'd like to thank Cr Peter Castaldo and Bradley White for opening the event for us, and Earthworker Cooperative, Enviroflex, Solargain and Cargocycles for their participation.

Congratulations to @mcannonbrookes, who just received government approval to build the world's largest renewable and storage project. Sun Cable is a preposterously large (24GW+) solar and wind farm plus an improbably long electricity cord.

Thanks @robinince @ProfBrianCox for answering Rose and Digby’s questions! You’ve just made two little scientists very happy 😀

#horizonslive from Rose age 7, if two people got sucked into a black hole and they were looking at each other what would they see?

#horizonslive from Digby age 10, how do vampire star binary systems work?

Across Australia, more than 3 million households have a rooftop solar installation and ECA says the rate of uptake is expected to remain strong in coming years. But some have had very disappointing experiences.

The love we Aussies have for utes and SUVs, and the lack of regulation on emissions by these vehicles (emissions intensity often exceeds 210 g/km) has impacted the small gains we've made in reducing transport carbon emissions.

In 2016, more than 100 households in Alkimos Beach, Perth, signed up for a 5-year trial on energy efficient living. Homeowners installed solar panels and energy efficient hot water systems, and received rebates for other energy efficient appliances.

Household carbon emissions are the 5th-largest contributor to greenhouse gases in Australia. We must be building more energy efficient housing.

In May 2023, the star rating for new residential dwellings will increase but what does a 7-star rating mean?

Alison Aberley chose to become an electrician partly because she'd heard the shift to clean energy would mean plenty of work. Over the last two years, a series of reports have predicted enormous demand for workers in the clean energy sector.

A recent Swinburne Uni study looked at the benefits of a fast transition to EVs. In every scenario, the benefits far outweighed the costs to implement the transition. Of course, such a transition should include strategies to reduce car journeys overall.

In the Perth suburb of Brabham, a display home that meets an energy rating of 9.2 stars has no air con - and stays cool even on the hottest days. The costs to run a home like this are dramatically decreased.

Here's a new podcast to add to your listening list - Who's Gonna Save Us? It covers great stories, from looking at what happens to Aussie towns whose economies depend on coal and gas, to the story of Gomeroi woman Dorothy Tighe taking climate action.
