The European gas price has fallen more than 70% after reaching an all-time high in August 2022 and is now below its price prior the end of 2021 Q3. https://t.co/daFsLqywHG via @worldbank

[Glenne Drover @GlenneDrover]

every year we have people shouting at us that 'you just wait, in SA more RE means more gas'.
well renewables there now 68% and we still can't see a gas increase.
when is it coming?
even the imports to SA are much lower now than 24 years ago.

Global energy demand grew by 14% from 2011 to 2021. As a result, global energy-related emissions have increased in the past decade by about 5%, or 1.7 Gt of CO2, and the share of primary energy from fossil fuels has remained largely unchanged, at 82% #ausgov

Milton Friedman, Nobel prize economist said “If you want to create a shortage of tomatoes, for example, just pass a law that retailers can't sell tomatoes for more than two cents per pound. Instantly you'll have a tomato shortage. It's the same with oil or gas.” #qldgov #ausgov

COAL MARKET: In an updated report, @IEA sees global coal demand rising to 8 billion tonnes in 2022, matching the 2013 all-time high. Next year, coal demand will increase a tiny bit, setting a fresh record high | #CoalTwitter #EnergyCrisis #COP27 https://t.co/LHprNKZiDO

@barobertson111 @BalmainLiza Victoria hasn’t banned growing bananas, like it has gas.

[Rick Wilkinson @Rick_Wilkinson_]

So Victoria is now blocking Commonwealth offshore gas from leaving the state, after banning/limiting its own state based gas development. #gas https://t.co/MvQ00A68uS

[Rick Wilkinson @Rick_Wilkinson_]

@BalmainLiza So you are ok to get onshore gas from Queensland which is underpinned by LNG, and South Australia, but not Victoria?
