‘$8B plan to build Australia’s first polysilicon factory & power it with renewable energy & battery storage’ 👏👏

This is the investment Dutton doesn’t want in QLD & said we don’t need the electricity in the future (nuclear plan ~44% less power)

Quinbrook backed “green” polysilicon plant must pass federal green test first
Project Green Poly must be approved by the environment minister to go ahead.

The electricity market was designed around fossil fuels and was not set up for rooftop solar. This is why we're calling for electricity market reform that ensures fair pricing for Australia's 4 million households with solar. www.smh.com.au/national/vic...
Victorians with rooftop solar will get virtually nothing for feeding power to the grid
A glut of energy during the day and rapid uptake of rooftop solar has prompted the Essential Services Commission to propose slashing the feed-in tariff.

Eugene Tan of #aquabumps fame has published the archives of his (nearly) daily photos from Bondi (and beyond) to celebrate his 25 year anniversary. I've been following him since the early days and it's an amazing time capsule of change over the years. Congrats 'uge!

A distributed energy system is more secure & resilient than a concentrated system. Just ask Ukraine.

Why would Australia build 7 new strategic military targets, in an increasingly unstable world, when it doesn’t need to?

@jacquilambie.bsky.social has put forward a motion to rename labor’s electoral “reform” bill the “snouts in the troughs” bill.

…which is fair enough given the two major parties are giving themselves $82.7m in extra taxpayer funds under the bill.
