I wish Canada would catch up.
Australia has so much electricity from solar power that it is going to start offering free electricity to everyone for at least three hours during the day as the wholesale price of power goes negative

Australia's extensive solar power penetration makes so much energy that the government wants to offer free electricity at peak hours.

Proud to have held up my little sign here. If you genuinely want to listen @andyfillmorehfx.bsky.social please know that Halifax doesn’t want to welcome Team Israel while Israel wages a horrific genocide. Russia is banned from the Davis Cup, Israel should be too. NO sportswashing of genocide.
I was the only reporter at this town hall. Apparently, there will be more in other districts. If there are, I’ll be there.

In the meantime, you can subscribe to @halifaxexaminer.ca to support this and other reporting.
I’m at the town hall in District 4 with Mayor Andy Fillmore and Coun. Trish Purdy.

This meeting has turned into a debate and questions to Fillmore about the Davis Cup.

The Liberals govern like they have a majority that will last forever. My guess is their minority lasts maybe 2 years and then they get decimated.

And still, in spite of climate crisis-related weather extremes, and the fact that water is our most precious resource, Nova Scotia gives its water away to big industries, and Premier Tim Houston is pushing water-guzzling and destructive extractive industries such as fracking and uranium mining.

“The mathematics of famine are simple in Gaza. Palestinians cannot leave, war has ended farming and Israel has banned fishing, so practically every calorie its population eats must be brought in from outside.

“Israel knows how much food is needed. It has been calibrating hunger in Gaza for decades”
The mathematics of starvation: how Israel caused a famine in Gaza
Israel controls the flow of food into Gaza. It has calculated how many calories Palestinians need to stay alive. Its data shows only a fraction has been allowed in

Great piece. I am increasingly seeing these types of restrictions hampering green tech as a consumer rights issue.
"You’ve got a right to the sunshine that falls on your home, whether you’re a renter with a balcony or a homeowner. Free the electron!"
Aussies and Europeans can get rooftop solar on their homes for a third the price of Americans—and one huge reason why is our crazy local permitting system.
(And Congress and the WH can’t keep us from changing this.)

We literally live in the most decadent time in human history. People who already have too much power & more money than they could ever spend forcing climate death upon their own kids so they can make a few more bucks.
