NSW new Consumer Energy Strategy aims for 1 million homes and small businesses kitted out with solar batteries by 2035, crucial for a no coal grid reneweconomy.com.au/nsw-aims-for-a…

Electrification, energy efficiency and helping households generate and use their own energy and get off dirty expensive gas means cost of living relief. More of this please all governments including for renters

ICYMI here is LEAN's Felicity Wade on #abc730 last week calling on the Federal Government to legislate national environmental standards alongside the promised EPA 'with teeth' Full story here: abc.net.au/news/2024-09-1…

“All the buses on display were fully electric” Because anything else than zero emissions is obsolete. Time for *all* state governments to stop buying diesel buses.

Disinformation is still rife in today's climate culture war spearheaded by the Coalition — We cannot deny the problem, or that our industries must adapt and change. Workers are rightly worried about their futures. We urgently need to create new jobs in our energy regions.

“In a few short years, the world has committed to monumental investments in hydrogen,” Bowen told the Asia-Pacific Hydrogen Summit 2024 in Brisbane. “We weren’t going to leave Australia’s green hydrogen potential to drift behind in this environment.” theguardian.com/environment/20…

This is the reality of nuclear ☢️ Expensive and inflexible, built with taxpayer money, dependent on long-term taxpayer funded off-take agreements that crowd out cheaper renewables, including home solar. #auspol

NSW set a new all time record for rooftop solar output ☀️ - on the same day the state government announced a major push for household batteries reneweconomy.com.au/rooftop-solar-…

Big solar and battery project gets rapid Federal approval by showing environmental benefits

1/3 Decarbonising our industries & building renewable energy in Australia is climate action * Green Steel & Aluminium is climate action * Building wind towers & solar panels is climate action * Making lithium batteries is climate action * Electrification is climate action

The AMWU By requiring our minerals to be processed and manufactured in Australia we also reduce the world’s carbon footprint through renewable and zero emissions energies #FutureMadeInAustralia can be the most effective tool we have for real action on climate change

Good. Communities like Lithgow need solutions now, not a 15+ year wait for Peter Dutton’s nuclear fantasy - which barely qualifies even as a “concept of a plan”.

“Power bills would rise by about $665 per year to repay the cost of building seven nuclear plants under Opposition Leader Peter Dutton’s energy plan, new modelling has found.” smh.com.au/politics/feder…

Shocking that feral deer not yet declared a pest rather than semi protected in Victoria and Tasmania

Feral deer are trashing and trampling Victoria’s landscapes from Wilsons Prom to Mount Bogong. They’ve even spread into urban areas. But despite the damage they cause the Victorian Government lists them as a ‘protected species’. theguardian.com/environment/20…

Peter Dutton's nuclear fantasy is economic insanity. It will push power prices up, it will take longer and it will only at best deliver a sliver of what we need in energy. He needs to come clean on the cost so Australians know what he's seeking support for at the election.

A really good article in the Fin on thermal efficiency standards for homes as a cost of living measure. Totally worth it even if there wasn't a climate crisis which, you know, there is.
