Here's #nuclear #costoverrun compared with 23 other project types. Only #Olympics perform worse. #Delays look similar Note the contrast with #solar and #wind The table is from p. 192 in #HowBigThingsGetDone, sites.prh.com/how-big-things… Dan Gardner NYT Climate

Nick Feik September 5, 2005 – Anthony Albanese introduced “Avoiding Dangerous Climate #Change” private member’s bill allouryesterdays.info/2022/09/04/sep…

3 years ago #Goldstein was mired in mediocrity. 😞 Now we have arguably the hardest working, most courageous MP in Canberra. 🥳 If that’s your vibe, get involved. 👇 zoedaniel.com.au/get-involved/

So that’s the end of the ‘how long do the batteries last’ argument CATL to give 10 year - 600,000 mile battery warranty to 85% of capacity So not that they will only last 600,000 miles, they will have at least 85% of capacity at 600k miles Life expectancy is at least 16 years

'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, challenging the Coalition to reveal the costings of its signature policy.' #auspol #BradfieldVotes

World will add 29% more #solar capacity than it did the previous year, despite global capacity growth surging by 87% in 2023. #renewables #climate solarpowerportal.co.uk/ember-global-i…

omfg. Here's a screengrab from the video below. *This* wasn't happening in September 2021 ahead of the May 2022 Federal election. A quarter of new people the room already committed to campaign - and there isn't even a candidate.

From David Pope in Canberra Times

Renewable technologies are gathering speed, putting the world within reach of falling greenhouse gas emissions. Climate experts say they "struggle to wrap their heads around" the sheer size, scale and speed of the current transition. ab.co/4eyt8bw

Anyone ‘surprised’ by these independent candidates in 2022 wasn’t paying attention. Extraordinary grassroots community campaigns that were boosted, not instigated, by Climate 200 and fuelled largely by women sick of being ignored got them elected. smh.com.au/politics/feder…

if i ever run a political party Rik Shepherd 🇦🇺, i’ll make sure you’re the first to know. if you ever stop being a dickhead, please let me know.

The BYD SHARK plug-in PHEV ute goes on sale in Australia from October 29th. It does 0-60 mph in 5.7s. A 29.5kWh battery returns impressive fuel economy, as well as the ability to send power to electric appliances - both on work sites or weekends away. smarterfutur.es/4egXBuY

i'm not anti-nuclear Tom Biegler. i'm anti-🐂💩. unlike you, i care deeply about decarbonisation — if someone presents a credible case that #nuclear will help decarbonise faster & cheaper than our current path, i'll work to lift the ban. …meanwhile, it's just a tool for delay.

UK is just days away from quitting coal… australia has a long way to go. (thanks for the chart inspiration Dave Jones.) explore.openelectricity.org.au/stripes/au/?me… OpenNEM

🤓 11 countries generate a greater proportion of their electricity from wind and solar than australia.

This is one of those tragic Betoota’s where the irony causes rage and heartbreak. The on going extinction logging of the Great Koala National Park & the public forest estate by Chris Minns Penny Sharpe Tara Moriarty is unforgivable. #nswpol

Tomorrow Peter Dutton is set to talk about his nuclear power concept of a plan and to blame renewables for energy costs. But as Matt Saunders writes, the path to cheaper energy is through more renewables not less. #insiders australiainstitute.org.au/post/we-dont-n…

.Ted O'Brien from 2019: "australia should say a definite ‘no’ to old nuclear technologies but a conditional ‘yes’ to new and emerging technologies such as small modular reactors." there's still not a single SMR in the OECD… so it's back to old nuclear technologies then?
