Woodside’s North West Shelf gas export project is a disaster on five fronts:
🟠 Driving up WA energy prices
🟠 Threatening WA's domestic gas reserves
🟠 Paying even fewer royalties - down to just 0.6% of WA revenue in 2027-28
🟠 Corroding Murujuga rock art
🟠 Wrecking the climate

And as Ember notes in a new report today, that trend is accelerating with nearly 400GW new capacity in first 6 months of 2025.

New report from @ember-energy.org finds the world installed 380GW of new solar power in the first six months of this year, which is up 64 percent from the same period last year. Which was of course a record-breaking pace, because that's all solar does now is break records and blow past forecasts
