Rooftop PV is up about 30% year on year in November. Prompted me to look at historical growth. Never unimpressed by these. @OpenNem

@MagnusHambleton I’m still not convinced that putting restrictions on outages without considering what causes them is useful.

@AndrewDillon_EN @AEMO_Media I am sure you can get it to work if you get a $1.4bn subsidy from the Fed's, and someone else to pay for your network infrastructure.

BREAKING NEWS:

This legislation just passed both houses of Parliament.

[Alan Kohler @AlanKohler]

Interesting the number of ppl who say we shouldn’t bother with emission reduction because we’re only 1.5% of global total. Presumably they also ignore water restrictions because just one house, and also drop litter in the street.

Almost 300 punters at #cleanenergysummit2019 reckon coal phase out in the nem is possible by 2035-2040.

The Coopers Gap Wind farm is just starting to come through some of the AEMO data feeds.

When fully complete, the 452MW wind farm will overtake the 420MW Macarthur Wind Farm in Victoria (currently largest in Southern Hemisphere), and more than triple the amount of wind in QLD!

Cracking new figuring from @IRENA's recently published "Renewable Power Generation Costs in 2018" - based on cost and auction price data.

Note the cost reductions in CSP which we don't often hear about (caught me by surprise)!

Another investor-owned #electricity utility pledges to be 100% carbon-neutral by 2050: Madison Gas & Electric pledges net zero emissions https://t.co/oDu18mKsz1 Last year, the company's electricity was 52% coal-fired and 10.5% renewable, so this is a major step.

Energy Minister Angus Taylor called me last night, though unfortunately he wasn’t willing to talk on-the-record so we couldn’t proceed with an interview. As such we received no answers to the new written questions posed.

The call was re this:

@SimonAmstell really enjoyed your show tonight, especially the pants. Where did you get them from?

[Lily D'Ambrosio MP @LilyDAmbrosioMP]

Wind turbine manufacturing will be returning to Aus after a decade away - in a new home at the former Ford factory in Geelong

We’ve always said renewable energy is

✅Good for the environment
✅Good for the economy
and now it’s also
✅Good for Geelong jobs

While Australians are calling out for climate change action the Liberals are washing their hands of responsibility to future generations.

[Emmanuel Macron @EmmanuelMacron]

Nous avons d��cidé de fermer l’ensemble de nos centrales à charbon d’ici 2022. Il s’agit d’une mesure pionnière ! Car la réalité, c’est que, partout dans le monde hélas, non seulement on ne ferme pas, mais on ouvre de nouvelles centrales à charbon.

[Kane Thornton @kanethornton]

Any government that commits to underwriting a new coal-fired power station is both economically & environmentally wreckless. And surely punished at the ballot box. #auspol #VicVotes
