This was a brief pop-in but I did mention @ember-energy.org's new report showing demand for gas is seeing weakening growth particularly in Asia - Australia's main customer

We want a managed transition, not a chaotic painful one. Tax helps achieve that!

Konrad Benjamin nails the root of the problem: to stop large industries from ripping us all off, politicians need to stop “going to work in the industries that they literally wrote the rules for”🔥
Rules that as Dr Denniss points out, see gas co’s “pay more in PR than PRRT”💥

Labor secretary leaves Trump's cabinet after abuse of power allegations The Labor secretary's departure was announced by a White House aide on Monday, local time.

Curious what Trump's three sacked Cabinet Secretaries have in common....

Noem, Bondi and Chavez-DeRemer were undoubtedly heinous and beyond incompetent....but were they really worse than Hegseth, Kennedy or Patel?

Coincidence is one thing. Six refineries across four continents in 45 days is a PATTERN.

🇮🇳🛢️ ANOTHER Oil Refinery on Fire. Is Someone Doing This on Purpose?

- Ecuador's largest refinery caught fire for the THIRD time in nine months
- Australia's Viva Energy Geelong exploded,

New clean energy generation - almost all solar & wind - has exceeded electricity demand increases globally for the first time

Comes alongside substantial electrification of transport & heat in some places

Fossil fuel generation is, finally, decreasing

Amnesty International raises serious concerns: the US is violating human rights under the current administration.
When fundamental rights are undermined, silence is not an option—neither in Europe nor anywhere else.

Listening to the Dalai Lama giving a talk about global affairs speaking of the ones with power only think about money and more money not the environment and not about the greater division of the rich and the poor. It’s comforting that we have the leaders in this world speaking up.

How should we respond as Moneyland works to screw us ever further into submission? The ultra rich are crushing living standards and protest rights. There is a parallel in the brutality against Palestinians and in America's gulags. We do not have long to challenge the trajectory.

Give it a go.

In voting rights win, Virginia agrees to stop mass voter purges near Election Day The dispute exposed a growing national tension between Republican-led efforts to aggressively purge voter rolls and federal protections designed to ensure eligible voters are not wrongly removed.

Big Business are very large recipients of welfare, so they know what they're talking about when it comes to spending public money and not seeing a return.

They just lack self-awareness and/or shame.

Why the gas giants stopped gouging After a decade and a half of mostly failed threats from three prime ministers and constant surveillance by the competition regulator, the east coast gas export giants are suddenly putting Australians ...

Why Australia's big gas producers haven't jacked up domestic prices unlike during Ukraine war.
They've been spooked by a change of community attitude, the prospect of much higher taxes and possible new laws that require them to prioritise domestic customers.

That’s correct. Trump should be removed before he loses it at a great cost to our future. 😎
