Two and a half years ago before joining @WWF_Australia to develop & lead the Renewables Nation program to help accelerate Australia to be a world leading renewable exporter I wrote this tweet 🧵. On Friday with some sadness I finished up at WWF.
A new🧵of some progress we've made
You're taking a job running a #renewable exports campaign? Renewable exports - what's that? Why is it important?

Shape of things to come ...
Nuclear output reduced for two more days due to high temperatures in the Garonne River.

This is the bible of energy transitions.
Do find a quiet place and read it;)
The graphs are soooo rich in great data and messaging. Here are my favourite...
World Energy Outlook 2023 is out now! 🚨
Our analysis shows the energy world is set to change significantly by 2030, based on today’s policy settings alone. But stronger efforts will be needed to keep 1.5 °C in reach.

We acknowledge the many non-Aboriginal people who support us and are also hurting with the referendum result.
Thank you for your solidarity 💪🏽

Renewables are unstoppable now whether you like it or not.
74% of all newly installed capacity was wind and solar in 2022. Less than 15% was fossil.

Not sure if you noticed, but as of yesterday, the UK only had one coal-fired power station remaining
UK coal use is now the lowest it's been since 1757

Solar is set to attract more capital than global oil production in 2023 for the first time
This reflects the major shift taking place in energy systems around the world. And it's another sign that clean energy is moving faster than many people think iea.li/3Pd828H

Sometimes smart alec Australian climate nerds like me point out that Australia's reporting of emissions from the land sector is not very good, but check this out.
Each quarter for the last three years has been identical to the same quarter in the other years.

We are talking about a delay in the closure of Eraring as if it is our only option for secure and reliable power in NSW. It is not. For two reasons..

We’re getting rid of gas in new Victorian homes to slash power bills and our emissions.
We’re leading the way, phasing it out from all new government buildings.
It means healthier schools and hospitals, and cheaper bills for everyone moving into new public or social housing.

Germany gets trashed for two reasons
1) right or wrong they’re showing their is a path to decarb w/o nuclear
2) they paid forward, notably for PV, cost reductions (along with others)
They’re a threat to two industries that still have lots of dollars and clout to trash

40 years of mining all of the new energy materials = 1 year of fossil fuel mining.
Nice stats to counter some of the claims by many opponents of clean energy. @ProfRayWills @mzjacobson @alex_avoigt @bobbyllew
Eg Robert had a guest on his last episode with FUD on mining.
Our fossil fuel addiction requires at least 535 times more mining than the renewables economy displacing it – and we already have all the minerals we need for 100% clean energy

Your regular reminder for anyone reading the @SatPaper today that a renewable powered future involves A LOT LESS mining than our fossil fuel present.
Shame that articles continued to get published that promote the fossil fuel industry's talking points unchallenged.
There will be LESS extraction and mining in a renewable powered energy system.
