Electrify Canberra - Suburb Zero ACT

[Electrify Canberra - Suburb Zero ACT @SuburbZeroACT]

Our Electrifying Apartments, Apartment Zero event was an epic 9-speaker panel with incredible experts, knowledge + experience
Our friends at NFSA Canberra recorded it so you can watch+ rewatch. It's good!

Voices for Canberra is a volunteer group wanting to endorse a Community Independent candidate for the federal electorate of Canberra. We want the Canberra electorate to be a champion of Australian politics, where our candidate genuinely represents community priorities+aspirations

[David Pocock @DavidPocock]

People power in action.

Great to see the advocacy of @SuburbZeroACT starting to pay off with the announcement of electrification of apartments and low income households.

A small commitment from ACT Govt but a start that can be built upon.

A great question from @annajhenderson! Our Electrify Everything Loan Scheme will help more Australians access rooftop solar and lower energy bills permanently. Read our policy proposal: https://t.co/6Ez2fAmPlk @PressClubAust @JEChalmers

Which one is it?

@AlboMP says there'll be no government money for gas.

But there's a $1.5billion committment to build the Middle Arm industrial precinct, which will benefit... gas.

We need to decrease gas pollution, our kids will foot the bill for decades to come.

Powering your heater with LPG will lead to $23k in bills over 15 years, while reverse cycle air conditioning powered with 30% solar will cost around $4k.

[Rewiring Australia @RewiringAus]

Running your water heater from LPG instant will cost over $11k over 15 years. Those bills plummet as soon as you switch to an electric heat pump with solar.

[Rewiring Australia @RewiringAus]

Cost of living relief will be central to tomorrow's #Budget2024. A one off energy bill relief payment will help many in the short-term, but the federal government could help more Australians secure their energy upfront, and move away from the spiralling costs of fossil fuel gas.

A new report from @CommunityPowerA shows that solar farms can serve as hubs for biodiversity enhancement, introducing structural complexity into the environment & providing crucial shelter & habitat for various species while providing clean, cheap energy https://t.co/0fasJF27IJ

FACT: The gas industry uses more gas running their own export terminals than Australia's entire manufacturing industry.

82% of Australia's gas is used for exports. #auspol

[Mark Ogge @MarkOgge]

Just a reminder that over 80% of Australia's gas is exported by a handful of foreign owned companies, who use more gas processing the gas for export than Australia uses for electricity generation...or manufacturing...or mining..

Oh yeh, and they get most of the gas for free.

This is David Donaldson, and he’s turning 94 soon. His only birthday wish is for a better parliament. That’s why he’s asking you to make a donation and he’ll match it dollar-for-dollar until we hit $94,000. Will you help David’s birthday wish come true?

[Australia Institute @TheAusInstitute]

On the Drum @pollyjhemming debunked the idea that gas is a crucial industry.

"It's not a big employer. It doesn't pay much tax. Profits go offshore."

"If anything it costs the Australian economy." #auspol

[Parents for Climate @climate_parents]

"After promising that voting for them would mean an end to ... misguided ideas like the previous government’s “gas fired recovery”, the present government has rebadged the gas industry’s wishlist and given it another chance."

It's not good enough.

[David Pocock @DavidPocock]

Labor has announced plans to back Coalition’s EXPANSION of gas industry.

Both captured by the fossil fuel industry & refuse to put young people’s futures > short-term profits.

Sign if you believe politicians should have a duty of care to young people👇

[David Pocock @DavidPocock]

Despite warnings about the urgent need to take climate change seriously Labor is continuing with Coalition’s $1.5 billion subsidy for the Middle Arm petrochemical hub in Darwin that will unlock the Beetaloo Basin for fracking 🤯

We're excited to share with you the first of our 'Electric Ideas' webinars. Join us for our kick-off webinar with @AusConservation about the role electrification can play in our clean energy future: from households to our industry and transport. Register: https://t.co/GWSiRIDHvw

[Rewiring Australia @RewiringAus]

It's great to see energy retailers encouraging households to ditch fossil gas! Gas is an expensive and polluting fuel. Going all-electric is better for your hip pocket, better for the environment and the healthiest option for your home and your family. https://t.co/26AD6F3i0C

[Rewiring Australia @RewiringAus]

69% of a household’s energy use comes from what’s parked in our driveway, making cars the single most important machine to be electrified. We need ambitious fuel efficient standards to support the global transition to electric cars. Read more: https://t.co/7QWySfDVe3
