Australia doesn't have a gas supply problem. It has a gas export problem. 80% of Australia's gas is exported. abc.net.au/news/2025-02-20/a…

Forget more gas supply, expert argues. Stop exporting so much

Among the many crises facing the nation in recent years, the east coast gas shortage has been among the most divisive from a political, economic and social perspective.

🤓 90% of our coal power to retire by 2035 and *all* gone by 2038! …according to the most likely projection in the much anticipated *draft* 2024 integrated system plan #ISP just released by @AEMO_Energy. our grid is transitioning from fossil to renewable energy.🎉 read on! 🧵

Really important analysis from @USTreasury Dept. finds the overwhelming share of clean energy investment driven by the Inflation Reduction Act is occurring in lower income communities, offering real economic opportunity across America: home.treasury.gov/news/press… This is as intended.

Big move from the US. If Australia gets to its target of 82% RE by 2030 there should be around 3 coal power stations (totalling 3GW) left in the main grid by 2035. So not a huge lift to follow Kerry's lead and sign up @AlboMP

Our oped: If @AustralianSuper kills @Brookfield's @originenergy bid & $30bn #renewables build, what's its alt. plan?⬆️power bills, slower transition, climate chaos?? Put up or get out of the way. afr.com/companies/energy/big… @markcarney2017 @Paul__Schroder @AusConservation @naturensw

Big Super shouldn’t block Brookfield’s bid for Origin Energy

AustralianSuper’s spoiler act trashes a key consideration that, along with members’ interests, the broader national interest should be paramount.

Yep - this is the single worst point source of water pollution in the Warragamba catthment. It is very poorly regulated. abc.net.au/news/2023-11-07/w… via @ABCaustralia

Mine plan to pump more water into Sydney drinking catchment will make pollution worse, expert warns

Centennial Coal says it has to release five Olympic pools' worth of "predominantly untreated groundwater" a day to stop a Lithgow mine flooding, which a water scientist says will worsen contamination.

Ore mining requirements will reduce thanks to the transition from fossil to wind, solar & batteries.

Replying to @AustralianSuper
@AustralianSuper is about to become the worst #climate blocker since Clive Palmer abolished the emissions trading scheme. Our message to @AustralianSuper don't block this $30bn clean energy investment. 🧵

“I am so sick of hearing the people responsible for getting us into this mess, blaming the technology and the households of Australia for having caused the problem" @DanJCass on 🔥 abc.net.au/news/2023-10-31/h…

How Australia's push into rooftop solar is powering the suburbs

Satellite data shows the massive explosion of rooftop solar from above, but the rest of Australia's energy transition is falling behind. Search for your suburb's rooftop solar count.

.@SmartEnergyCncl calls on all Governments to adopt a People Power Plan, a six-point plan to slash power bills by putting solar on the roofs of our homes, businesses and industrial facilities, backed up by residential and commercial-scale batteries and smart energy management.

As bushfires rage across the country, Australia's biggest super funds are failing to hold some of the world's worst climate wrecking companies to account. @brettjm and @market_forces bit.ly/40hDeHz

Exhibit 87654 to show that the global oil and gas majors are not interested in pivoting to green energy and climate action Shell to sell Sonnen reneweconomy.com.au/shells-a…

Shell's about-face on green energy continues, with battery maker sonnen tipped next to go

German home battery maker sonnen looks to be the next sale item as Shell fades back to black and unwinds its interests in clean green electricity.

The fossil gas industry will never let the truth get in way of their billion dollar profits. All-electric homes can save Victorians thousands. Even the gas industry’s own research shows new all-electric homes are cheaper to run.

Our new op ed: @ChrisMinnsMP @PennySharpemlc Now's the time for political courage: rule out subsidies for Eraring life support, build on today's excellent commitments to accelerate NSW energy transition while curbing fossil fuel bill shock & emissions👏✅ smh.com.au/politics/nsw/keep…

Keeping the lights on at Eraring will only add to NSW energy risk

We can’t justify keeping the unreliable coal power generator at Eraring on life support as it enters terminal decline.

It’s time for NSW to close Eraring. Great op-ed from @TimBuckleyCEF with the numbers to show Australia’s largest coal power station need not be propped up at huge public expense by @PennySharpemlc @ChrisMinnsMP #ClimateCrisis #NSWpol afr.com/companies/energy/it-…

It’s time for NSW to close Eraring

The AEMO has shown that unreliable and risky coal-fired generators can be replaced by renewables, batteries, and gas peaking power.

Delaying the closure of Eraring instead of investing in the energy transition is the worst case outcome for consumers. This will result in higher bills and ongoing emissions. NSW Labor is proving to be a mess on energy policy, unfortunately in line with expectations. #auspol
Tim Buckley@TimBuckleyCEF22 Aug 2023
Joint CEF @SmartEnergyCncl @clean_investor @NexaAdvisory response to leaks NSW Electricity Review may recommend gov delay 2025 closure of coal clunker Eraring. Exactly the wrong course of action- time to accelerate transition @PennySharpemlc @ChrisMinnsMP! climateenergyfinance.org/wp-…

NSW Labor Promised a $1billion state-owned investment company for renewable energy projects if elected. Now would be a good time to come good on that election promise rather than throwing $$ to keep coal burning @ChrisMinnsMP @PennySharpemlc theguardian.com/australia-ne…
