Energy transitions can happen faster than we think:

In 2000 almost 90% of Denmark's electricity was from fossil fuels.

In 2024 less than 10% of Danish electricity was from fossil fuels.

Labor might think it's set for elections to come because younger voters are more progressive. But the young see the world very differently, writes Bernard Keane.
Yes, young people are different. The political class has no idea how different
Labor might be delighted that the Coalition is turning its back on the growing tide of young voters. But those voters don't share many of the basic values of *either* of the major parties.

CONGRATS to Australian fossil fuel company Santos, which has been granted 614,133 carbon offsets for its new CCS facility.

Assuming a price of $37, that's $22m AUD in profits if they sell the CCS offsets. Or 600k tonnes of fake "neutralisation" if they claim it for themselves.
