Two miners died in a zinc mine near Cloncurry, adding to 53 deaths that had already occurred in Queensland mines since the year 2000. According to mine safety experts, every one of those deaths was preventable. #abc730

"For the first time"
Replying to @albertwycheung
For the first time, spending on energy transition technologies appears to have caught up with fossil fuels supply investment, even as the global energy crisis led to an uptick in the latter.

For all the bleating by the war profiteering gas cartel lobbyists and shrills, this is the real story, their greed that is gouging of Australian industry & consumers. Good job ⁦@Bowenchris⁩ ⁦@MadeleineMHKing⁩ ✅ afr.com/business/energy/gas-…

That means Australia's current coal and gas exports are causing up to $324 billion damage annually (1.2 billion tonnes emissions), with a pipeline of projects supported by our state and federal Governments that would cause an additional $459 billion damage (1.7 billion tonnes).

This is ludicrous @Bowenchris. You want taxpayers to compensate coal miners who mostly pay zero corporate tax + are making billions in warprofits from our public resources? Their right to mine should be to service us first & export the surplus. smh.com.au/politics/federal/… by @niltiac

It’s crazy the #NT is so far behind on this scorecard. Sure, it’s dusty...but it must have the best solar radiation-to-land ratio in the world, and some of the worst electricity access rates in Australia What’s going on?
WWF-Australia’s 3rd Renewable Superpower Scorecard reveals progress across the nation, with New South Wales, Tasmania, Queensland and South Australia taking to the podium. Read more here about the race to renewable superpower ⚡️ wwf.org.au/what-we-do/climat… @WWF_Australia

Is anyone tracking sponsored energy/climate articles from Fossil Fuel companies in mainstream media? @jamieclimate @ketanJO This piece on coal “bouncing back” was "brought to you by Equinor” who have a fair bit of skin in the game @leonickroberts politico.com/newsletters/pow…
