“The gov’t eliminated subsidies for fossil fuels & introduced long-term contracts for renewable projects, providing investors with predictable returns… Customers pay at least 20% less than they did before the transition, while the gov’t has more funds available for education and public services.”
Uruguay’s Renewable Charge: A Small Nation, A Big Lesson For The World
Uruguay built a power grid that runs 99% on renewables—at half the cost of fossil fuels. Here’s how its bold energy overhaul became a global model.

Same. Damn. Thing.
Gone are the days of Scott Morrison simply lying about whether Australia is on track to meet its emissions targets, but burying this assumption under the hood of your claim that we are on track - using existing policy measures alone - is the same damn thing.
We should urgently change how we generate electricity in Australia, but the government's claim to be on track to meeting its 2030 target is based on coal and gas generation permanently dropping to a third of current levels this decade.
They do not have the policies in place to make this happen.

No, there is no ceasefire in Gaza
Israel’s bombing of Gaza is not a ‘violation of the ceasefire'. It is a continuing genocide under diplomatic cover.
