Calling the substitution of Russian gas with Russian fertilizer a strategic blunder is an understatement. Because now the EU isn’t just paying for Russian energy. It’s also paying Russia to do the processing.

This is so important!
People look at Net Zero in terms of costs, not benefits.
A new 2050 Net Zero system in Australia is $7-12 b more expensive in system costs per year, but delivers twice as much electricity and generates $80b in savings per year (avoided petrol+gas costs)!

Moreover, the recent wholesale electricity market has averaged around $20b-$25b, for delivering just half of 2050 ISP demand.
So for about $10b extra per year, the ISP is delivering twice as much electricity and savings of almost $80b in petrol & gas costs per year!
Bargain!

What is a fact that you think the world greatly under-appreciates?
Here's one to start:
Electricity can be converted into useful forms of energy much more efficiently than heat (which mostly comes from burning fossil fuels).

South Australia has the most wind and solar and no baseload: So why is it the only state not fretting about a vulnerable grid?
South Australia has the highest wind and solar share in Australia and no baseload power – and is the only state in the main grid not facing a shortfall of “system strength.”
