The cost of generating electricity would be up to 50% higher today if Australia had relied solely on coal and gas instead of pursuing renewables, according to new analysis.
Right-leaning politicians and climate deniers have seized on the 30% increase in electricity bills since 2021 to call for new coal-fired power plants to replace renewable projects, claiming it would bring down energy bills. Continue reading...

New research tracks past geologic changes in volcanoes that slumbered deep beneath ice sheets, and what happened when the ice melted. The findings suggest that global warming may be setting the stage for more explosive and frequent volcanic eruptions.
Melting Ice Caps Could Bring Dormant Volcanoes to Life, Research from the Chilean Andes Shows - Inside Climate News
In a feedback of fire and ice, thinning ice sheets over geologic hot spots could allow more eruptions, while increased volcanic activity may speed the meltdown.
