Senator for Queensland Susan McDonald complaining about renewables taking over farmland ignores what fracking for gas is doing in her own state. #AusPol #SenateHearing

This is SUCH a good point. The RBA decides every month how much unemployment is optimum. It's so unfair that the unemployed get the blame.

This is BIG on a number of fronts. It shoots down one of the justifications for logging inside old Forest. The old thinning argument that they reckoned reduced bushfire risk.

Australia's Gas Giveaway — Live Revenue Tracker Australia Institute research shows a 25% tax on gas exports would raise $17 billion each year to fund essential services. Nearly $50 million every single day, seven days a week, flowing to multination...

Wow, what this lost gas revenue would buy us! It would replace lost fuel excise as EV numbers increase, allow uni students to focus on study instead of juggling full time casual work with full time study, fund health!

It's up to $68 billion and rising! gas.australiainstitute.org.au

Something I found wild about "All the President's Men" was that we watched the whole movie through a fog of cigarette smoke. They smoked in the office, in the car, in the lift!

I lived through the 70s and had completely forgotten that was what life was like.

This is my favorite climate change chart. Japanese monks, aristocrats, and emperors kept meticulous records of cherry blossom festivals for 1,200 years and accidentally built the world's longest climate dataset.

2026 will be a grim year in the USA. And admiration for the scientists and communicators still able to collect and publish this data.

I always find this debating point a real low. Goverments built the first poles and wires networks in order for electricity to be available for everyone. I think what has changed is that we no longer have visionaries in charge.

well, BP in this case, 24 bay chargers at Melbourne airport by BP Pulse. 100% renewable powered, so no coal.. or generators as many claim... #ev #diesel

Yvette Cooper says Iran is “holding the world hostage” in closing the Straits of Hormuz.

But in reality it is Israel that’s held the world hostage with an unprovoked attack on Iran, on Lebanon and now destroying South Lebanon just as it did in Gaza. The US felt obliged to join in. No-one else has.

Our interest in electric vehicles has grown due to oil price spikes. And it’s likely to remain The clear signal this trend data sends is Australians are a pragmatic lot. If using an EV might save them money, they are interested.

Good. Once you drive an EV, you'll never go back. When the fully electric Hilux comes out later this year, we'll be laughing (and so will the early adopter tradies)!

Spare tyre was a deal breaker for me living on a dirt road - but the only EV with spare was Hyundai Kona (space saver). So I bought the Kona AND a spare wheel and tyre, and replaced the spacesaver with the real tyre. Change it myself when needed.
